give a man a fish he will live for a day teach a man to fish he will live for a hundred years
this is so evil......looks like scenes from apocalyptic movie where everything is getting rationed by gov't if only you pledge allegiance
RATIONS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE LONG BEFORE ELECTION
AL JEWEERA SAYS IT USED FOR VOTER BUYING
BUNCH OF LIARS AL JEWEERA
Yes, exactly, it's that evil I worry it could be used by others lunatic leaders around the world. Maduro has become the modern Neron for Venezuelans.
Well, the left wing promises bigger welfare. Same difference.
Bernie Sander, Hillary, Obama.... all fans of Maduro's outcome.... they love socialism so much.... they should move to Venezuela
Alright guys admit it, Uncle Sam and the CIA, are looking like a pretty good option right now.
I feel sad as a Malaysian when i see this...
This would have happen in the future if we were to let Najib win the election!
30,000,000 people and not a single hero to put this bus driver down?
Doesn't matter- majority there supports the radical left economical policies like price-fixing and wide nationalization, are still blaming free market and European colonists, and are fine with using terror against political opponents. Even a lot of 'right-wing' there speak like half-communists. So I say- let it burn.
I think left or right wing doesn't matter here. It's pure dictatorship.
Im from Brazil and I must say those elections dont look diferent from the elections here. Politicians from left and right wing parties in the week previous to the election do all sort of events in poor communities which are ignored by most of the politicians after they are elected. For instance, in the favela near my neighborhood there is a soccer field, it was all torn apart so they send people to revitalize it, I could see it every day, the construction was almost over one month before the elections but they stopped working. One week before the election they came back, finished it and there was a party with the politician. After that I never saw him again. Actually I think if there was free food being given here in Brazil it would work too since in latin america poor people always are in lack of descent food. Maybe americans cant relate to our reality . . .
Another point, in Brazil they've arrested the most popular candidate in the elections, Lula, with no evidence whatsoever. Where are the sanctions imposed by the US here?
I think there's a term for this system actually - a 'water empire'. If people in a province support you, you provide them with water (or food) and they are eternally grateful. If they don't support you, you don't feed them, and they are wiped out (and thus no longer a problem).
The only problem is that eventually the empire rots away from the inside until some foreign force comes in and suddenly overthrows it - the reason the Mongols were so quickly able to conquer China for instance.
"Bread lines are a good thing." - Bernie Burnt Out Sanders
The United States has had bread lines. You would rather the victims of the Great Depression starve?
So stupid, where is Bernie Sanders a dictator??? If you import everything like Maduro has done and only sustain yourself on the oil revenues this is what’ll happen, as that’s what Maduro has done! He didn’t Produce ANYTHING in such rich land with great soils like Venezuela! This was bound to happen!
This is not a racist statement, it is a analysis of a pitiful reality. Venezuela is not known as black nation. It has always been a multicultural and diverse country. But why all these crisis and collapse is slowly making it look like most of the population is now black? Same happened with Cuba. Look at the videos of people who, as a result of all this social and economic collapse, have left, and now live outside of Venezuela. they are mostly white and mestizo. Why is this? It's as if being poor and resentful has to do with being black. It seems as if they enjoy the role of victims. Now they believe that they won and that they finally got revenge for a damage that was once done to them. When in reality all this corraborates that, those who have done harm to them are not others but themselves.
In Malaysia, we have Najib Razak. Cash is king he said. He gave monies and handout - but only to his supporters. What did we do? Register as his party member. Smile at him. Pat his back. Scratch his balls. But on voting day, almost 60% back the opposition and send him off.
We Americans elected for a greedy capitalist billionaire and look at how good the economy has been post Obama.
Obama was a trust-fund baby, though.
My people are hungry and millions are fleeing venezuela is dying. You never truly know what you have until you loose it
This is so sad. I can't
Natalie So don’t. Mind your own business, disregard this blatant propaganda, and if you really have a bleeding heart, maybe your should demand that your own government to do something about all the US citizens who lack clean water, housing, affordable healthcare, secure supplies of food and so on, rather than gulping down ridiculous propaganda obviously designed to induce liberals into accepting US imperialist subversion and aggression against Venezuela.
Tyler Brown, I'm from Colombia. I Agree parcially with what you are writing, there are urgent problems and conflicts within every country, Colombia will never be the exception for example, whit similar context in some aspects as in Venezuela and even with your country, but add it a sistemic structure of corruption and deep ignorance in every Colombian of the reality of their own country, but, I don't think this is propaganda, this shows the reality, a fraction of it of course, If the liberals perception hasn't notice this, and now are in a negation state... that's really not the matter, Venezuelans are now in the most worrying state, in Bogotá some of them are litterallaly accepting the worst treatments only to find more money for their meals.but finally, I believe the US has been this regulator of nothing but their selfinesh and fears, if liberals want to accept or not the geopolitic state that US has with Venezuela, that at the end and in the reality do nothing for the hunger and dead that feels and define this region. This problem is of Venezuela and they are doing nothing to solve it.
Very soon Venezuela will become the poorest country in the world .. if strong measures are not taken .
Maduro's free lunch.
Vote for us - or starve.
Or walk out of the country.
You voted for him.
Sounds like the US DOJ is trying to be like Venezuela - one choice only or go to jail.
Maduro el presidente de los idiotas (as clearly evidenced throughout this video).
B0yardigi0rn0 no de las victimas de su systima corrupto
3:47. Yo apoyo a maduro porqe me va dar un pollo i huevos
starving people you say?
Stalin would be proud.
Such a beautiful people. I wish them all the best.
I'm hoping for the best Venezuela.
Love from filipinas. ❤
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!
What’s the option? Get rid of the food or the USA??
Better than USA capitalism
All these Venezuelans in need of basics supplies are very easy to manipulate by the government.
I definitely support the democratically elected President Maduro. I go shopping in a normal supermarket. I am not relying on the government for food.
in south Africa we have a movement called the ANC which resembles the dominating party in Venezuela in a few ways. firstly the ANC calls themselves a liberation movement, emphasizing the fact that they freed us from apartheid. and in Venezuela they constantly speak of a revolution. secondly the ANC's mass support comes from the poor and old, similar to Venezuela. the supporters love ANC because of a cult like love for Mandela, similar to Chaves. actually many African nations can relate with what is happening in Venezuela. my sympathies go out to you in hopes that one day you will be truly freed.
NAGALAND has a similar story
Inform the people with both versions New York Times.
THEY NEVER DO
anyone elsefor improving our education system here in the states so that we dont have idiots everywhere in our country lmaooo
For a fist full of eggs.
it’s like mexico, but here the government doesn’t keep it all for itself. they share with the people, so it’s a win win situation. it might sound bad, but what other option do the have
I feel like these people need someone to blame, if there wasnt any maduro then who do they have to blame but themself for there living.
Technically, this is Venezuala's answer to Barisan National's "you help me, I help you" slogan from Najib...
Que necios
Comunism
Its a socialist democracy.
PROPAGANDA
Brandon Mason Democracy?
lmao
HUGO CHAVEZ if it's propaganda? Why i have to go down to Miami and send food to my remaining family in vzla every month?
Brandon Mason ROFLMAO.
Socialism leads to starvation
Poverty, socialized welfare, and hyperinflation from a commodity-based economy leads to starvation. This issue is more complex than just blaming it on politics.
@@OpVanquisher
What about the general lack of economic freedom due toe total state control of the economy?
Pay the officials like in America and other countries
Venezuela. What has happened to you ? You have become obsolete.
Your mothers va gina is obsolete.
Oil companies must hate him the propaganda news against him is strong lol
His Socialist policies are a disaster like Hugo Chavez but I can't say that Hugo was a bad dude, he got his gold back and took the Oil from Exxon owned by the Rockefeller, what they don't understand is that Capitalist aren't his problems.
Democrats practice this tactic in the United States, and the world
Absolutely disgusting to watch how this monster takes advantage of the poeple of his country for his personal gain.
poor people
All country have experience starving even in most powerful countries but it depends how thier leader works for it n how leaders manage those situations regarding the poor level ,,, DOESN'T MATTER IF COUNTRIES ARE POOR OR RICH AS LONG AS GOVERNMENT TOOK PLACE FIRST THOSE NEEDS IN SOCIETY ,,,AND THE LEADER SHOULD LISTEN THIER PEOPLE ,N STARVING COUNTRIES REFLECT THIER LEADER BY MISS MANAGED
1:00 wow
time is running to go maduro.
Easy. Starve the people and tell them - you will provide with food.if they vote for you
I spent a summer in Venezuela during the heyday of Chavez. Something I noticed is that the most fervent supporters of Chavez and socialism in general were the more darker skinned of Venezuelans. While those the most opposed to redistribution of wealth were the more pale skinned Venezuelans. I find it telling that, after the pale skinned Venezuelans left the country, almost immediately the economy truly tanked. They moved to neighboring countries like guyana, suriname, brazil, etc. And wherever they settled the economies began to grow.
So let me get this. Hugo Chavez gets into power, starts bullying and naming the "pale skinned" people as enemies of the "people" and then starts nationalizing companies even though in 1998 he said he WOULDN'T NATIONALIZE. Why would the pale skinned people remain in such a country? I would move out from the country too. I'm not a massochist, if you call me evil and blame me every day for your own problems i'm just going get away from you. It's that simple. 5 to 6 million of venezuelans left due to the idiocy of the socialists Chavez and Maduro.
The maduro and chavistas are only a few
People are dumb.
Pobre pueblo ignorante
Democratic Socialism Rocks!
China is helping already.
General IQ ?
#lostprosperity
#IgiveAndyougive
Thank you for posting this publicly NYT, this video is seriously important
Bribe the poor disgusting
But that's how Democrats won the Black vote.
US propaganda..
True face of politics .
PROPAGANDA against Venezuela SHAME ON YOU NEW YORK TIME.
Oh no there so poor
nice propaganda, I wonder which oil company sponsored it
That famous oil company called The New York Times. You're welcome Sherlock
This election highlights a key issue of how any democracy can be bent and broken by powerful demagogues. Maduro used populist messages to gain support and win elections, and as president stripped the powers of his opponents and restructured the Venezuelan government to make himself more powerful. The Venezuelan economy failed not because of Maduro or the Venezuelan government, but because Venezuela was dependent on the price of oil. For anyone pointing to starvation as a natural consequence of the government, you're wrong. Venezuelans can't control the price of food and other basic needs due to hyperinflation, but Maduro is exploiting their needs to keep himself in power.
HYPER INFLATION IS FAKE ARTIFICIAL
HOW DOES A BLACK MARKET EXCHANGE RATE EVEN WORK? THATS ONE THING NO ONE HAD ASKED OR ANSWERED
Nice try propaganda bot.
WHAT PROPAGANDA? IT'S A QUESTION
You don't know anything about economics, and are actively trying to derail discussions to shout about conspiracy theories and irrelevant topics.
WHAT THEORIES? IT WAS A QUESTION SOUNDS LIKE YOU AVOIDING TO ANSWER IT
IF VENEZUELA HYPERINFLATION SO HIGH EVERY WEEK
WHY IS THERE SHORTAGE OF CASH? IN A NORMAL SITUATION INFLATION IS USUALLY CAUSED BY OVER PRINTING OF MONEY, PAPER MONEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE BUT WHEN THERE ALREADY SHORTAGE CASH AND
PRICE CONTROLS WAS ONLY TO PREVENT INFLATION BUT SINCE IT'S BEEN IGNORED FOR OVER 5 YEARS WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
IT'S BLACKHOLE OF ????? THEY DON'T TELL YOU THEY JUST SAY "HYPERINFLATION"
This is why we need a right wing in America. Democrats would gladly do this.
First
IT'S LIKE WATCHING "RUNNING MAN" MOVIE
WHEN THEY MANIPULATE FOOTAGE AND MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THE BAD GUYS
HUGO CHAVEZ this is how your comment sounds like: hhshejduehgeg hrhrurure bururjrutj.. Pure bs.. I'm so glad hugo Chavez is dead he can't no longer enjoy all the money on his offshore accounts that he stole from the Venezuelans
YEAH THAT IS THE SOUND OF A LOW IQ TRUMP SUPPORTER
