9. Travel your mind beyond the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande

There's a whole world beyond your country, which by the way no one here considers to be an example of anything. Quite on the contrary.

At the same time, in Venezuela, things don't seem to work in the binary way you describe. You see, in this particular case, I criticize the fact that 150,000 houses were paid for by the Venezuelan people through their State's budget while only 90,000 were built. There's a considerable gap. Where did the public money go? Asking this question doesn't make me a "pro-capitalista", just like applauding the actual result of this policy - we all agree with its goal - doesn't make you a leftist.

If you want to know what I think about "the Capitalistas and their successful coup to take over the American government", it's easy: ask me the question. But that would better fit into a different thread.
