This is a very important article which summarizes a book written by leftists committed to socialism about what is wrong with Venezuela . It contrasts the first 15 years under Chavez to the 10-year span of Maduro.
The causes of Venezuela’s problems were not just US imperialism but its failure, including Chavez, to challenge the capitalism sector within the country. It is not socialism that failed but the leaders’ unwillingness to go full-tilt with socialism.
