This is what imperialism has done to Venezuela... The international powers of the world have throttled the Venezuelan economy and now pushing hard towards the current right-wing coup.
No, communists did that to Venezuela, numbers show that the economy was in shambles even befor the US sanctions. Marxist "economics" are the cause, not the US. No country has squandered a oil bonnanza like Venezuela. And to my knowledge the Venezuelan central bank is not controled by the CIA. Marxism shall be erradicated from universities.. Its not a harmless ideology.
Mr De Zayas, a former secretary of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) and an expert in international law, spoke to The Independent following the presentation of his Venezuela report to the HRC in September. He said that since its presentation the report has been ignored by the UN and has not sparked the public debate he believes it deserves. On his fact-finding mission to the country in late 2017, he found internal overdependence on oil, poor governance and corruption had hit the Venezuelan economy hard, but said “economic warfare” practised by the US, EU and Canada are significant factors in the economic crisis. In the report, Mr de Zayas recommended, among other actions, that the International Criminal Court investigate economic sanctions against Venezuela as possible crimes against humanity under Article 7 of the Rome Statute. The US sanctions are illegal under international law because they were not endorsed by the UN Security Council, Mr de Zayas, an expert on international law and a former senior lawyer with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said. “Modern-day economic sanctions and blockades are comparable with medieval sieges of towns. “Twenty-first century sanctions attempt to bring not just a town, but sovereign countries to their knees,” Mr de Zayas said in his report. Al Jazeera has became a mouth piece of Washington after Qatar was sanctioned by Saudi, an ally of US.
China caused the problems in Venezuela - debt trap diplomacy's early casualty (follow the oil, gold, and bribes). Those Russian oligarchs have plenty to lose too, with their Cuba friends, but all three are dancing to the 'belt road' initiative, and will themselves be victims as well eventually.

After this...will those same providers of new jobs in Venezuela be able to compete with others that do not have to pay for labor because of reasons...such as automation? Oil and unskilled labor is not in big demand as it once was. Someone wants unskilled labor in Venezuela now? ...as opposed to before? Some wants oil now? ...as opposed to sacking Venezuela for it before? This is where the real slavery will begin...with jobs that will disappear to automation and lack of demand for such...and this would happen literally overnight...right before the bottom completely drops out of the economy of Venezuela. Hopefully, if Mexico delivers as promised with border support, they will be offered JOBS that (many of which) COULD HAVE gone to automation ...but instead go to Mexico (or perhaps only Canada) by way of new USMCA deals. This will help spread out the wealth and also make more harmonious the wages from one neighboring country to the next. So selfish are the wealthy that provide jobs that come out of their own pockets for no other reason than to keep more mouths fed? Please. How insulting. Where job availability is lacking in some countries...what can possibly be offered by these countries to Venezuela but lower wages than their own employees get....and a quick carpet-bagging of money off cheap labor that will disappear like the sunshine when the rain comes....after they have pocketed their loot. Pompeo calls for taking sides only to help others see that some western countries do not wished being blamed for the fall of another country...so pulling out time might seem much more logical so those screaming most can experience for themselves who is really to blame for their consequences.

Mr. Maduro, you should go, you mismanage Venezuela economy people are starving. Venezuela military listen to your people, you can still save your face and soul.
Not really AMLO just cut taxes and put in place a vote that after two years if the people are not satisfied with the president he gets booted, he also injection stimulus packages for businesses and the peso reflected that.

Venezuela is not the worst economy in the world. This is what many Central and Latin American countries have experienced as the results of America's imperialism, its Monroe Doctrine. Likewise the same for many American citizens who are suffering as the people of so-called poor economies. America is wrought with increasing homelessness and its citizens living paycheck to paycheck with high medical debt. It is no different than the theft of a country's natural resources as seen on the continent of Africa. They people also do not benefit given theft of their natural resources is a theft of their wealth and income. The only ones who benefit are the thieving companies of the colonizing imperialistic invading countries. This includes the theft of the natural resources called oil, natural gas and coal.
I'll put this here at the top . "Why did Venezuelan's friends. Russia, Cuba, Turkey. China North Korea etc. did not come to their aid. I'll tell you why. Because Maduro mortgaged the Venezuelan economy to the point Venezuela could not pay its debt back to even Venezuelan's friends. And then Maduro decided to print so much money it became worthless. Maduro is just a Moron who thinks he is an economic genius. It's all his fault that the promise of a socialist revolution / utopia failed. You know what he did with all the technocrats ? He Exiled them, Assassinated them or Jailed them. How can any country be managed without intellectuals and technocrats ? All past socialist countries have historically made the same mistake. The ones that have survive so far have learned that you cannot discard the countries technocrats and intellectual capital. In any case what Moron thinks that printing money is a good idea. I don't know any one in a capitalist society that does not know that printing too much money leads to inflation."
@@lenyrockwell1757 The friends have already given up on helping. China for example has already lend Venezuela 62 Billion dollars over the last decade. China is now doing a risk analysis And they are not going to take any further risk. Venezuela can no longer even pay their interest obligations. Same story with Russia.
I love it how a random person from Buenos Aires speaks for the Brazilian dam accident when Argentina has nothing to do with that. Does Al Jazeera still think Brazil's capital is Buenos Aires?
Why do they always show what's happening in Caracas. How are the people in the country-side doing; the people that know how to survive by living off the land ...?
Majuro must go or resign in order save the people from sufferings. As long as he is still the dictator, the country will be in deep turmoil and trouble!
There is a thing called rich vs poor people. Just because you see this doesn't mean all Venezuela are poor. Just like US not everyone is rich there is homeless people too
Practically, the whole economy is a running on Black-market pricing... The Central Bank is giving away $2 to $3 for the FMV of $1 of VEF.. WTF and Min. Wage is also proportionly to Low.
So....the currency in Venezuela is useless....because US says so.... Why not create internal only currency, not traded on international markets? They have plenty of oil to make dollars.
Good reporting. I'm so very sorry to hear what's going on in Venezuela I haven't been keeping abreast of what was happening since the passing of Chavez I thought Chavez was an excellent president especially as a Protege two Castro, both men cared dearly about their respective countries and about the plight of the poor throughout the world; both did truly awesome things for mankind, so it's with a heavy heart I see what's going on in that country.
You guys are talking about Communism. Well Communism goes too far, I like my freedom. There are several kind of Socialism: UK Socialism USSR Socialism China Socialism. CIA Socialism in Cuba, CIA Socialism in Venezuela, Nordic Socialism, Canadian Socialism, U.S. Socialism (Social Security, Free Elementary, High School) We want to invest on people not to give hand out. Working people pay taxes. People on welfare don’t pay taxes. Don’t you want to make America great?
Welfare/social state does not mean socialism. Socialism is based on people (meaning government) owning the means of production and distributing the profits to people. Most of the countries you mentioned (outside of actual socialist/communist countries like ussr) are mixed economies where most of the economy is under private ownership (free market/capitalism) and taxes are used to pay for public options.
hey you showed us a few closed shops but i notice when you start to talk at 2 minutes and 39 second there is shops are opens on both side, another fake fabricated news by al jazeera, remember when saudi arabia and the other golf state imposed economic sanction on Qatar who fund al jazeera if Qatar didn't have the USA military bases what would happen to Qatar and because Qatar turned to Iran and Turkey who both have very bad relations with the Gulf league ( Saudi arabia, United arab emirates, bahrain, kuwait, and Egypt) the economy of Qatar would collapsed even it have the largest Natural Gas reserve in the world, so please enough with your fake news stories

Reading "this is socialism" comments by my fellow Americans who have no idea how our economy works is sooo disturbing. Our economy is entirely hypothetical, a huge chunk of our GDP is actually the debt accrued by Americans and owned by corporations, not actual production. Our economy is basically only being held up by the fact that the bankers will keep milking this form of "production" as long as its profitable.
