never mind that the country doesn't have any industry besides oil. I just posted an article on the Colombia-Ven trade imbalance but it simply doesn't sink in. Ven will have to use more and more petrodollars to import more and more basic necessities if they don't modify their economic model that allows businesses to make money.

But there are those who simply want to believe that marxism is THE answer and are undetoured by repeated failure.
