You describe everything that the anti-Bolivarian pro-fascist economic wreckers hate.
These guys post whole subthreads where they pile on, supporting each other, explaining how they hate "socialism" and "socialists", and by that is meant the entire program, the entire effort to bring some degree of economic equality and social stability to the Venezuelan (for in this instance) people.

These aren't like "third-wayers" who pay lip service to e.g. "single payer" and acknowledge, if only implicitly, the advances just this one program has brought to people around the world -- but who go on to recite their tired claim there just aren't the votes to make it worthwhile to put it "on the table". No, these are hardcore fascist wreckers who would take every chance that's given them or that they can make, using all their resources, to destroy public health services, public school services, etc.
One of them even went so far as to claim that Cuba was a "slave state", because Cuban expertise was helping Venezuela realize the Bolivarian dream.

The fascists want it *all*, so the people have *nothing*, and they resent everything that the people have and have built up in the past 15 years, for no other reason than that they see it as interfering with the satisfaction of their greed.
