The richest country in South America suddenly turns into one of the worst third world countries out there? That doesn't just happen. This is entirely the fault of socialism and the Maduro regime, and I look forward to the potential Guaido holds.

So you can't accuse it of having leftie bias...
70% private economy is not socialist by any description. A governing party being socialist says nothing about the state of the overall economy, hence why Australia was not Socialist between 2007-2013 despite being run by a political party which was democratic socialist (according to itself).
Don't even need the 'real socialism' tag, it's not fake socialism either. It's just kind of sad. They basically just nationalised the oil and very little else.
That was 9 years ago. Have a more recent source?
That just says what Venezuela was in 2010. Not what it is today.
Very likely the numbers greatly changed.
