This crony command banking and transnational fake capitalism (globalism) is in fact a form of communism/socialism. All losses are socialized to the individuals of the world and the gains go to the politically connected. Even in the USA we do not have capitalism. You have more free markets for average people in places like Mexico where people can start micro-businesses without any regulations. Central banks are a tennant of communism. We have a market economy only for the politically connected monopolies or quasi monopolies. The lawyers of these transnationals write our laws and regulations. Venezuela is a case of a local socialism vs an international socialism. Both are bad.
My first post is some what relevant.
Thank's for what you do Luis. I love anarchast español! Saludos

Us ancaps must not forget that we are not pro-corporation per se. We are pro-individual liberty which includes business. A corporation is a legal entity created by the state. I'm Not saying that every business that uses a corporate entity is bad since individuals find themselve's forced to incorporate but it's part of the distorted command centrally planned regulated economy.

I listened to your podcast and I think you are making a lot of emotional arguments to focus on a very small part of the larger picture.
First of all, Venezuela went full blown socialist in several ways. Here are just a few.
The state imposed price controls and limited the production of basic goods by making production unprofitable. They basically drove the economy to a single commodity market.
They subsidized an unsustainable welfare state with oil revenue. Poor were promised housing, education, healthcare, and other expensive benefits. To pay for this, they sold oil in bulk overseas. So when the price of crude went down, so did their economy. Again, putting all their eggs in one government-run basket.
The monetary policy (and control of it) was imaginary. The state pretended to have control over the price of the currency. They thought they could control the price of property, goods, services and wages and simply print money to make up the deficit. They recklessly printed money to sustain that policy and made their fully imposed and mandated currency completely worthless.
Now I'm not saying embargos and deep state influence didn't play a factor. But it was kind of the fat man that broke the camel's back. A stronger camel could have taken the weight. A freer economy could have taken the weight. But this was a country which despised business and profiteering except in the hands of a few government oligarchs, just like every other socialist system. It was bound to fail with or without outside influence because it's a weak and inefficient system.

185% agree. If the Venezuelan government hadn't been complete and utter garbage when it came to economics, they likely wouldn't be having this problem.

The tyrannical regime is true. I am not denying that. However, the lack of trade with other countries (embargo) is real, too and it hurts a lot.

But is false, here is not an "embargo"... the regime does not pay to another countries and the investor have no guarantee of his money or property be safe. That´s the question: if you don´t pay, nobody want to trade with you, right? This is the situation her in Venezuela. The regime doesn´t pay and no country or international traders want to make deals in those conditions.

And the suffer and hurts in Venezuela is consequence of the regime, Chavez and Maduro. Not for the lack of business.

I can summarize the reason Venezuela is screwed: socialism. Stop right there, say no more, socialism always has, always does now, and always will fail.

Here in Venezuela we face the hell of the socialism: live your life in your own terms is a crime: you must do what the PSUV, ANC and "mi comandante presidente" says. And pretend to be "progre" and all the problem is the fault of the enemies of the country. Is simple.

Remember that Communism works toward entablish the communist state, that it´s the very abolition of itself toward an communist anarchy, life it´s bearable with the state where citizen works toward goals and not bellow the lash of a political party.
