Many years ago I lived there as a child. I remember the poverty. Capitalism, poverty and illiteracy made the country a horrible mess. The rich lived in mansions with gardeners, servants and orchards. So proud of their wealth, they thought God had ordained them rich because they were so wonderful.

The poor lived in card board boxes. I saw a family of 5 living out of a refrigerator box. That's the Venezuela you want to go back to.
