The left libertarian idiots running Venezuela make it way too easy for these U.S. right libertarian idiot ideologues:

Left libertarian? i.e. anarchist?
ReplyDeleteAs usual, the left are a laughing-stock.
Even worse: they're short of condoms. See:

I don't think the leaders of Venezueal have every described themselves as "left libertarian".
ReplyDeleteDan they view themselves as powerless and possessing no authority imo.... beholden to USDs... play the 'blame game' with the US, etc...
ReplyDeleteYou cant run a country where you need $100 USD oil to be able to have human hygiene... govt should implement policies to prevent such things from happening... make sure the country can provision itself for at least the basic necessities of life..
Short of govt authority down there, I would look at Venezuela as a prime opportunity for left-libertarian "co-ops" to be established to make personal care products...
The left "co-op" people should be looking at that model for down there right now imo...
So much volume has been taken out of the paper industry the last decade, they probably could get the plant & equipment for free if they would agree to remove it and transport it......
Get the Venezuelan people to work there and make personal care products (TP/ Facial Tissues/ Feminine Products/Soaps, etc...) put a "generic" brand on it run it as a not for profit.... if that model is legitimate, I cant think of a better opportunity to test it....
rsp,
does anyone know where to find a good in-depth analysis of what is going on in Venezuela?
ReplyDeletePhilippe not off the top of my head.... it seems to be a continuous deterioration down there... shortages have been manifest for months so these idiot Cato-Koch people are a little slow on the uptake here...
ReplyDeleteThings went downhill with price of oil last year... so the left broke-dick libertarians trying to run the thing are way over their heads now without the oil price leading to external surpluses...
Koch Industries has a paper products division so they may be angling to get a major TP deal for down there.... rsp
You may have an axe to grind with libertarians Matt, but these 21st century socialists in Venezuela are statist.
