A lot of people seem unaware of the achievements of the socialists in Venezuela 🇻🇪 before US sanctions wrecked the economy. Here's a rundown by the numbers (taken from the United Nations and quoted in my book, "Bad News From Venezuela, 20 Years of Fake News and Misreporting"):

GDP per capita:

1999: $5150
2012: $6434

Poverty:

1999: 49.4%
2012: 25.4%

Extreme Poverty:

1999: 17.9%
2012: 7.1%

Unemployment:

1999: 15.0%
2012: 8.1%

School Enrollment:

1999: under 50%
2012: Almost 75%

Undernourished population:

2000-2002: 3.8 million
2010-2012: "Not statistically significant number" [i.e.: close to zero]

Doctors per 10,000 inhabitants:

1998: 18
2012: 58

Number of free health clinics built, 1999-2012:

7,000

Number of people receiving old age pensions:

1999: 0.39 million
2012: 2.1 million

During the years of Hugo Chavez (1999-2012/2013), the government built a nationalized healthcare and education system from scratch. In 2005, UNESCO declared Venezuela free of illiteracy.

This doesn't mean everything was perfect by any means, but the gigantic and extraordinary successes the country was making attracted academics, statisticians, and epidemiologists from around the world to study it. Indeed, in 2013, the UN awarded Venezuela special recognition in combatting poverty and achieving rapid human development.

They were able to do this because Chavez nationalized the country's resources (oil) and used the profits to fund social programs, rather than enrich foreign billionaires.

It was precisely this threat of a good example that precipitated a massive US economic blockade of the country, which crippled the economy, and led to mass emigration and hardship. The United States is and was terrified that such a successful example of socialism would inspire people across the planet into believing a better world is possible.

Chavez dijo esto en 2009. La historia le dio la razón. Escuchad

El genocida Donald Trump acaba de anunciar que EEUU ha secuestrado a Nicolás Maduro y a su mujer, en la brutal invasión terrestre y agresión aérea militar que llevó a cabo esta noche contra Venezuela.

Un nuevo capítulo en la historia negra de los terroristas de EEUU, secuestrando presidentes y bombardeando países impunemente para saquear el petróleo y los minerales.

Después de esto, el mundo entero, y sobre todo Latinoamérica, está en peligro ante estos bárbaros asesinos imperialistas que no tienen ningún escrúpulo para robar y saquear paises.

Ésta es la página oficial en español del gobierno de Estados Unidos donde todavía se ofrece una recompensa de 10 millones de dólares por el terrorista Muhammad al-Jawlani, hoy convertido en líder "rebelde" sirio, donde se dice que el núcleo de la organización HTS es Al-Qaeda.
