Well, Bolivia did basically the same as Venezuela and guess what, they obtained good results improving the life quality of all their citizens with free healthcare. But the United States' lefties will never use them as an example to follow because their socialists are pro-life.

Gonna criticize this from an art perspective, but the comic is a bit too chaotic and it doesn't have a good flow for your eyes to follow. It took me a while to understand what was going on exactly because the action was everywhere and the piece is cluttered. Not your best work.

The reason Venezuela is struggling so much, isn't because they're socialist. It's because of the crash of oil prices and a super corrupt administration and rampant poverty. Also, they are too authoritarian.
👍: 2 ⏩: 2
Venezuela was struggling before the crash in oil prices. Inflation was on the rise and goods shortages were already an issue going as back before at least 2010. The lack of toilet paper was a common story before oil prices collapsed in 2015. Back in 2013 I predicted Venezuela would start running out of food do to Maduro more rigorously enforcing price controls. If oil prices could have such an effect on Venezuela then why didn't other oil producing nations see economic collapse like Venezuela? In 2014 the US put sanctions on Russia and they aren't eating their pets and Venezuela only had similar sanctions imposed on them back in 2017. Iran has had crippling economic sanctions imposed on it for almost 2 decades now and millions haven't fled Iran do to hunger. The collapse of the Venezuelan economy is the result of Socialist economic policy. Hell the hyper-inflation and goods shortages was predictable years before it happened because of the policies Hugo Chavez was implementing and the economy was on the fast tract to decline before 2015. They just went from tumbling down a hill to falling off a cliff with the oil crash in 2015. If the US were to remove all sanctions and oil prices were to boom again they'd just go go from falling off a cliff to tumbling down a hill if they don't make major policy changes.

Direct hit.
Although it should also be said: things are not helped by the outright looting of the oil industry. Russia and Iran invest in tech, spare parts, and trained personnel to keep their oil flowing. Venezuela's government took everything for social schemes and left nothing to maintain their most important economic activity. Even if oil prices were higher now, they'd be rolling down your hill like a golf ball.

It doens't explain the years of economic decline before oil prices collapsed, or why other oil producing nations including those hit by far worst US sanctions like Iran aren't eating their pets, or fleeing by the millions.

Any country that is highly dependent on oil will surely decline once the oil prices are breaking up.

Those Norwegians are doing so horrible and eating out of the garbage and you just have millions of Saudi's fleeing there desert for neighboring countries.
Once again the problem with the idea that the crash in oil prices is responsible for Venezuela's woes doesn't add up. Other oil dependent economies weren't outright devastated by the crash in oil prices. Certainly didn't do them any favors, but they managed to get through including Russia and Iran which had actual financial and economic sanctions imposed against them at the time. Venezuela's economy was in decline well before the fall in oil prices and it was all very predictable do to the economic policies of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. In 2013 I predicted Venezuelan's would start running out of food in a few years and I was right. Price controls lead to goods shortages and massive deficit spending lead to hyper-inflation. Expropriation of private property destroyed local business and production even in the oil industry to point that when Hugo Chavez died Venezuela was producing less oil than when he first took office. All the oil bust did was put the decline in overdrive because Hugo Chavez outright ignored programs meant to tide over cash for when another oil bust would happen and his policies already wrecked the countries economy and finances.
His policies were so bad that this is probably the most predictable economic disaster in human history. The massive spending would clearly lead to hyper-inflation, the price controls were clearly going to lead to goods shortages, the expropriation of property was obviously going to scare away investment and devastate local industry, the massive import subsidize would undermine local production and increase the deficit. Filling the state oil companies with loyalists instead of experts was going to hurt oil production. Anyone with basic knowledge of economic history knew the oil boom would end sooner, or later which is why previous governments in Venezuela organized programs to do just that and Hugo Chavez ignored them so he could buy votes with oil and borrowed money leaving Venezuela unprepared and extremely vulnerable to an oil bust.

Ok, I know the “Argumentum Ad Venezuelum”, and apparently “Avocado on Toast” is apparently a popular smear on Millenials for eating pricy foods instead of planning their money wisely (even though it being healthier means you’re not going to the hospital with heart attacks ever other week), but what the hell do Tide Pods have to do with it? I thought that fad already blew over two years ago, and it wasn’t tied to “left from conservative” millennials either.

It's one of those things conservatives like to bring up when anyone young starts protesting something. "Your generation eats Tide Pods, so you're too stupid to have opinions about stuff!"
👍: 2 ⏩: 1
That does make sense, but I thought the Tide Pod thing already went out of style 2-3 years ago, and (admittedly only speaking from the "experience" of idiots polluting comments sections of YiuTube videos who DARE CRITICIZE THE ORANGE LEADER AND OTHER TOTALLY RATIONAL CONSERVATIVES) I haven't seen anything about "Millenials eat Tide Pods" from MAGA-CHUDs, and certainly not recently - mostly about the old chestnuts of SJWs (and it's various synonyms), trans people are mentally ill so they can't were the military, and fucking "NPC" memes (or when they REALLY let the mask slip, and start "sarcastically" speaking Yiddish, i.e. "Oy vey, the goyim know!")

Well, I think it's more common from older conservatives who don't use Youtube as much. It was definitely a trope in right-wing political cartoons to have some slack-jawed, cross-eyed, tattooed caricature of a college kid with a Tide Pod in his mouth going "DURRR OPEN BORDERS GOOD" or something along those lines.

Considering I avoid right-wing political cartoons like the PLAGUE (Ben Garison was more than enough just from his nuclear take thumbnails on Sargon's fucking videos), it's no surprise I ducked the Paleolithic conservatives still banging on about this...
