The last twenty years of socialism in Venezuela already did that. Have you seen the extreme poverty there? The once nice, now crumbling infrastructure? The Venezuelan people have already had most of their assets stolen.

Oh, yeah the US meddling had nothing to do with anything happening there.

That's a pretty good reason for these corporations to keep their grubby hands off Venezuela. At least give the people some time to recover, before stepping in to strip mine their economy again.

And when I say 'again', you know that it was the exploitation by US companies that led to Hugo Chavez ascending to power, right?

How’s socialism working out in China? Maybe it’s the US sanctions and meddling..
