Just twenty years ago I worked in Zimbabwe and Venezuela when they were very nice places to visit. Venezuela, the subject of this article, was marked by lively clubs, beautiful women and full shelves. I walked almost everywhere in Caracas with no more sense of fear than I would experience in Stockholm. I actually got a bad case of dysentery there, and was safely nursed back to normality in a competent local hospital.
That Caracas no longer exists.

So he's saying that socialism, far from resulting in a utopia where other people's wealth gets shared fairly with the masses, actually results in misery and shortages for the common people as wealthy crony capitalists repress any would-be upstart competitors by paying off corrupt officials to leave them alone as they loot the treasury and oppress the masses? But don't worry, kids, I'm sure it won't happen again for the umpteenth time if we try it here. Go, Bernie!
