"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Its pretty well established we dont own ourselves or our body.

It’s over."

That’s an interesting portrayal. As I’ve previously noted, Venezuela had 100% inflation in 1996 and a 66% poverty rate, a rise of 30% over the last decade. This timeline is misleading, to say the least. It also neglects to mention the US-backed coup d’etat in 2002. Venezuela is worse off now, by a long shot, but portraying it as a paradise in the 90s is just historically inaccurate.
1974 Socialist Carlos Andrés Pérez elected President of Venezuela.
1984 Socialist Jaime Lusinchi elected President of Venezuela.
1989 Socialist Carlos Andrés Pérez elected President of Venezuela for a second time.
1992 Venezuela becomes 3rd richest country in Latin America

FWIW, Chavez was elected in 1998, and again in 2000 under a new constitution.
That's true the graphic doesn't cover every event that ever happened in the country's history.
As I was reading it though it seemed more like 2020 Democratic platform (free healthcare, free higher ed, no guns, income inequality).
Yeah, just a few minor irrelevant details such as the period of rule by socialist presidents from 1974 to 1992. Such details are truly irrelevant to any point that any poster has been trying to make around here that Venezuela was an economic powerhouse until the socialists ruined it.

well...I don't want to go through all the posting history, but I have a foggy recollection that a certain poster (or two) has been using Venezuela as an example of a country ruined by socialism...I don't recall the argument being advanced that Venezuela was ruined by the 2000 constitution...I may have missed that
seriously i'm not a fan of socialism (although I think anyone with any sort of capacity for nuance would acknowledge that just about any modern economy is a mix of market and government control and regulation)...but i'm even less of a fan of the tendentious style of argumentation that is your calling card
btw Acción Democrática, the party that ran Venezuela all those years is a member of the Socialist International, just in case there are any doubts.

Isnt there a middle ground or is it either all caused by socialism or non of it?
Amazon, and large corporations like them, are anticapitalistic.

Some progress hopefully. Tariffs can be a powerful tool. US has unlimited economic power but its useless unless you wield it when needed.

America 2019, where "child lunch debt" is a real thing and fully-employed
workers live in their cars and dying cancer patients beg on the internet
for strangers to pay for their medication so yeah, I'd say that
late-stage capitalism is working out just aces for everyone
