That is so sad. Venezuela used to be one of the best countries to visit.
Visit the Margarita island they mentioned instead of Caracas, but there would be no Venezuelans.
It's still the best they are showing only bad sides of this country
You mean when they were capitalist.
@@zaddddd5505 🤣🤣 Nobody wanna go there anymore bro.. absolutely not me😄
@@zaddddd5505 venezuela currency is same regardless of what side you are on so corruption and terrible economy are always their
a country led by a bus driver that says it all..🤣🤣🤣
Al Pal but still he is a billionare. Most of your argument are just insults and nonsense.
Al Pal who’s made a lot of money hundreds of millions easily if not billions and the bus driver what has he done oh ya bet he’s worth hundreds of millions now to but where did his $$$ come from?????
TRUMP 2020 keep America great
@ Al Pal I was just going to write that
Al Pal gracias chamo 🇻🇪💯
@Al Pal ORANGE MAN BAD ORANGE MAN BAD
My cousin who lives there said it costs him his ENTIRE monthly salary to pay for an oil change... I used to go to Venezuela all the time; Caracas, Punto Fijo, Maracaibo, etc. We used to go buy Italian leather shoes, belts, purses, clothes - beautiful! Not any more!!!
He's talking shit then. Oil was the one thing that was virtually free in Venezuela.
:( my very good friend is from their and her family is still there....straving
@@Sun-Tzu-, an oil change requires more than just oil; it also includes a filter, diposal fee, and most important of all, knowledgeable labor. But it seems that you have a Socialist mind, "cannot see past your own BS!" 😆😆😝
@@rodneybellber4483 if you went to a proper workshop the owner would also need to pay rent ,taxes ,insurance ,utilities etc
Huh? He pays his ENTIRE monthly salary to another man to undo ONE bolt and put a bowl under it? Instead of doing it himself ? Cool story bro
Thank you for shining light on this. You are appreciated.
Revolution is truly creating a more equal society - in which everyone is poor.
Nicely said.
Deron Frederickson notice the only ones with weapons are- criminals! Business is good.
Keeps ppl honest right ? 😂
not every one . Maduro is a billionaire💀
Easy to maintain
Soo true
I'm a youngish retiree living in the US. I live alone, & have enough food in my kitchen to feed 5 others for a week, and within 2 miles of my home, there are literally dozens of huge supermarkets, restaurants, & food stores of all kinds. I can also get food delivered online, should I so desire I watch this and I wish I could help, but I can't, not globally anyway, which saddens me. I do contribute to local food banks, and I buy the occasional meal for those in need, and for first responders. I can only hope that things get better there, quickly.
D Me pray it lasts
You can help. Go there and give them your money and volunteer and donate your time and funds. You can get a million bolivar for every $400 U.S. you cant help you just really dont want to, only if it was easy as wishing it was better for them but wishes arent real. Go there and give if you really want to help
@@CSAcrazy . If possib l e buy seeds and eat sprouts.
I think you have a lot more problems back home in the US you could help out with first. You could start by feeding the homeless in your own country before you start worrying about others'.
I send a box every month to Venezuela with food
I love how the lady tried to compare Trump to Chavez! What a joke. 😂
Exactly, she can swallow her own words. Because Trump " the populist " is helping restore democracy, has sanctioned the regime, and we hope that with the help of Colombia and Brasil we can all bring the regime down to its knees. They must be aniquilated, destroyed, turned in for justice and imprisoned away from Venezuela, say Guantanamo!!!!
No shit, Chavez built 30,000 homes for the homeless! Trump is good at bankruptcy!
I know right. The people actually love Chavez!
@@cusimilooking4965 and then what, you can put in place a right wing government like before? That way the high class get richer and you get nothing, Brilliant.
@@12Indeed lol Chavez isn't even alive. Maduro is there leader now and most dont like him. You are confused.
What a great documentary, so well done, excellently produced and filmed and written/presented. Thank you.

"socialism works until you run out of other peoples money"!
that means it doesn't work at all
the funny thing about socialism is that they always seem to run out of other people money. it's quite a characteristic of theirs.
Socialism works until capitalists burn down your system; assasinate your leaders; throw wrenches into your machinery; ...
@@timothygolden5321 it was over before chavez left. it's always over in 20 years. What's next we should trade with people who's stated position is to destroy you? work with people who constantly ramble about marx? Not once has this worked ever.
@@timothygolden5321 they can't even create wrenches must less blame wrenches.
Okay very simplified explanation for why this happened which was not really addressed in the video. Note that this is simplified and you could write a paper on each point.
1. Over 90% of monies coming into Venezuela year over year was from oil.
2. Venezuelan crude is heavy crude which costs a lot more to produce 1 finished barrel than other OPEC nations (Yes people not all oil is equal).
3. Oil prices crashed below the point where it was profitable to produce oil for Venezuela who has propped up their entire nation on oil profits.
4. Venezuela did not diversify their countries income and spent all the oil proceeds on immediate gratification instead of building other industry and higher education.
It comes down to poor long-term government management.
Can’t forget about corruption and greed of leading officials
Definitely sounds like something a Donald Trump would do. Short-term gratification and long-term decay.
It was mostly about corruption actually
"A model of socialist sucess"
I know someone who supports and promotes socialism and I say name a country where it works and then there's silence... but I can name a country where it doesn't
@@mack8206 i can name one where it works, denmark....... and their standard of living is far above that of the US.... and dont try to argue its a fact
if u doubt go look it up :-D
@@petergriffin6999 No. Denmark is not a socialist country, none of the Nordic countries are.
They have all for varying periods of time been ruled by Social Democrats and significant features of their political systems have features that are distinctly characteristic of Social Democratic policy.
This includes government funded healthcare and education, unemployment insurance, pensions and other welfare programs. Government being involved in and running business ventures and commercial interests related to resource management, infrastructure, communication and transportation etc. All within a democratic context with strong input from unions.
Now, people on the left in these countries will unabashedly tell you that their country is Social Democrat and emphasize the welfare state, the low threshold (i.e. free or almost free) services and the equality between the people.
People on the right (bourgeois parties) in these same countries will just as directly tell you that their countries are capitalist in nature. They will point to the health of the financial markets, some low taxes, the range of freedom, the economic opportunities and other market-oriented features.
Part of what has happened is that once a policy is shown to actually undeniably work, it will be stripped of its ideological colors, everyone will want to share in the credit (success has many fathers …) and its roots are ignored by the opposition.
Most of the core socialdemocratic economic policies and social innovations actually work, so they’ve been stripped of ideology. In Norway the Conservative Party actually started about a decade ago to claim full credit for the entire social welfare system as a “core conservative policy”. Never mind that parts of the labor movement were clubbed to death fighting against bourgeois governments for it. :) They treat relenting in the face of political demands as if it is the same as leading the charge.
The Nordic countries are often more neutrally described as “mixed economies”, employing the flexibilities of a capitalist system with regulations and a safety net from Socialism/ Social Democracy. From this perspective, describing it as either “capitalist” or “socialist/ social democratic” is like the buddhist parable of a group of blind men describing an elephant through touch. Each person has a partial perspective that they have every reason to believe is correct.
Because of that, whether a person tells you that Denmark and the other Nordic countries are Capitalist or Socialist/Social Democratic, the answer is Yes, No or Both or neither. They are all most likely valid answers from the perspective of the person answering you.
They are very definitely mixed economies, though, with both a safety net and economic opportunity. Most of the political disputes are about the proportions of each part in the mix, translated into concrete changes in individual policies.
Full disclosure : I am a Social Democrat and see the “Mixed economy” part in itself as a distinct feature of the utterly pragmatic nature of Social Democracy (for which it is routinely mocked).
To me, Social Democracy is the only ideology or political movement that fully embraces a Mixed Economy as an end in itself on every level rather than as a painful compromise between the extremes of pure capitalism or pure socialism. So I, and a lot of other Social Democrats see “social democracy” as the only accurate description of mixed economy systems like ours.
We can’t really ask political rivals on the right to fully acknowledge that, though, because if they did, they might as well just quit politics right now. :)
Don’t be misled, capitalist mechanisms employed in our economies are still important. Social Democrats are not against capitalism as a practice, they just don’t see Capitalists (big business owners who absorb all the profits) as particularly useful to anyone.
From a Danish person :D
@@mack8206 Norway. Their oil company is nationalized (like Venezuela) and used to support their welfare system (free education, healthcare, etc.)
@@jayf8871 Norway has a free market economy where you can have private property, private companies etc. Far from what socialism/communism is
When people talk to me about socialism I say: I socialise every day in a system that may not be equal but I socialise in a system that offers me the opportunity to raise my self from equal poverty.
This is what happens when you depend on a government to take care of you.
@NYCEA2001 man made most certainly, thank to years of bad governing
@NYCEA2001 Not one refutation. Nice.
@NYCEA2001 what the hell? I think you're having a completely different conversation than everyone else. Quite frankly, I think you should avoid internet discussions period.
@NYCEA2001 WHEN IN DOUBT,
JUST BLAME THE U.S.A OR EVEN BETTER "TRUMP"!
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH SOCIALISM BUT, HEY LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, AT LEAST NOW EVERYONE IN VENEZUELA IS EQUAL! "EQUALLY MISERABLE"!
STILL I TRULY AND HONESTLY HOPE THAT VENEZUELA GOES BACK TO PROSPEROUS DAYS!
MADURO MOST GO!
@@williamruiz1453 would have nothing to with the U.S. and the U.K. owing them billions of dollars for they're oil and gold. Plus they don't have a rothchild bank. Wake up the U.S. is the biggest terrorist in the world.
_But, but, my professor said that socialism was good for the people ! Yeah, the people on top._
_GOD bless the Venezuelans and everyone suffering under socialism._
That is so sad. Even sadder that this sort of thing is trying to come to the US, and yet, we are not going to tolerate it at this point.
I agree it is coming. Unfortunately, I think we will be to stupid to see it until it is too late.
The US elected a Narco Clown, shush now
Its 2years since your comment and 100% it will come if we don't do anything!! I do think you off on saying we won't stand for it. There's too many in government that are corrupt 2023 including it president!! The there's also many younger people that have been brainwashed on almost everything that is common sense. I'm scared because as you know much has happened (covid, lockdowns, wars, lying media, corruption, mob looting, stolen/stuffed ballots) 'what' is going to be the 'thing' that does unite us together to stand against the problem saying no, enough is enough.
Poor Venezuela... I would have liked to go there before this
A very insightful (and brave) documentary, showing what all journalism should aspire to. Instead of delivering a brief piecemeal summary from some suited up correspondent in a comfortable hotel lobby, we are served a balanced cross section of Venezuela's social strata, all the way to the bottom layers. I haven't seen anyone capture the story this well since John Pilger
True. Not a lot of news services unlike ABC, BBC or ITV or DW News would even do that.
This Documentary is very biased, he never talks about what American Sanctions have done to the country.
3:32 One of the VERY few reasons to want to visit Venezuela.
Damn dude good eye
For some cheap 50cent head??
Cheap puss
Not a pretty place to visit now.
@Justin Last HIGHLY doubt it's in the thousands. And I'm not saying I do or if I would, but thousands of American males visit third world countries for one reason only. I'll let you figure that out.
14:45 "Hunkered down behind tight securities" ... Bruh he didn't even lock the gate
On the serious note. Hope Venezuela rise up and beat the corrupt government.
I think I grew up even poorer in my country.
These people say that chavis is good.but look how they live no water no food no jobs.wakeup
It's the promises they live on. Kind of like in America. The Democrats constantly over promise and rarely deliver but the keep getting votes because people live on that hope that others will pay for them.
Chavez is dead. The crisis in Venezuela is not due to him but due to relying only on petroleum income and not a diversified economy
@@RebeccaHagman more so it's the repression that doesn't allow for a dynamic economy. Top down authoritarian rule of the economy is a big part of the problem.
CHAVEZ DESTROYED THE COUNTRY
When Chaves was alive there was plenty of water, jobs and food in Venezuela, is Chaves' ghost currently running Venezuela? You're blaming him for Venezuela's current situation and he has been dead for a while now.
Seeing that lady smoke on that exercise bike was just........?
i thought thats what I saw 😂😂
Such a beautiful and rich country, but in the same time, peoples are starving because of the government corruption... SAD!
what does the us not letting them trade with other countries have to do with venezuelas corruption?
Lets pay a sniper so Venezuela can be free
Is this the socialist/ communist paradise everyone talks about? Almost everyone here is equal! Equally poor lol.
Right to the point! I can believe that are people out there defending this kinda of system.
Unfortunately, I believe my home country (Portugal) is about to become the European Venezuela....
Yea after chavez died the country went to shit, the system works the government doesnt

What is medicare? what is unemployment compensation insurance based on? How about workers compensation? Lastly, how about social security? Imagine for a moment what America would look like with millions of retired people walking the streets dipping in garbage cans, absent social security. All derive from socialism.
Ask the Chinese that question. Everyone in china has free medical insurance. How about here? We in America believe we are free, till we travel a little and see that we are constantly under the hammer every day, not to mention the constant propaganda we are subjected to.
That lady saying what’s happening in the US is close to what happened in Venezuela us crazy.
I don't think we are anywhere near as close as what has happened in Venezuela. Not yet at least. Now given a few generations of people not thinking for themselves and letting others with flashy words and false promises lead them astray and quite possibly history may repeat. Still... I believe there is just too many freedom loving Americans around to let something like this happen. After all even a rich man becomes poor with socialism.

Most will survive but sadly many others the old and very young won't last that long. My heart goes out to those who suffer needlessly.
It's a known fact that the richest person is Venezuela is Maria Gabriela Chavez, Hugo's daughter. 4.2 Billion USD
@Frizo 1015that wealth was amassed during her father's rule when oil prices were sky high, yes Chavez gave some to the poor but he kept a lot for himself. Despite US sanctions Venezuela is still selling oil to Russia and China so don't fall for that excuse. As far as security goes she has military protecting her and there are still plenty of wealthy people in Caracas. All of the military generals and drug traffickers are doing very well.

I would have gone to the country side and be a farmer and fisherman. Rear chicken, goat, and fish. Since the paper money has less value, then use barter system, exchanging products same as in the olden days.
What's the point of staying in a city with no food.
You better hire arm guards. Once word got out you’d be robbed of everything.
Indeed , a wise idea , it is good to know these skills and others - just in case.
My Cuban teacher told me once that in Cuba you cannot even go fishing without government´s approval. Under Communism/Socialism everything is controlled by the State, there is no freedom. I grew up in Communism so I can tell. So the idea about becoming a farmer in the countryside would work anywhere else but not a Communist country. The irony of it all...

Especially if it sounds anything like learning something different than what they were told by they free bearers.
Or the Smiling faces on the News that they have seen for years, even if they had been lying to them... They would never know Anyway.
They are usually trying to avoid, what's actually going on, so if you get one sliver of information into them be glad...
And "certainly" don't press your luck for getting "two" in.. for contrast and comparison.
Then when echo chambers of others that have "also" received a small piece of "free" chime in... just hang it up... and prepare for the war that will be conjured up by the land grabbers.
They can easily be sold to the Devil...
Just simply because... They don't know any better... or usually want to.
If the little elephant is taught, when it CAN'T pull the stake from the mud...
It usually won't bother trying... once it can.
absolutely Chaves ce from a .poor family and she disguise himself like president deceived lot.people to become dictatord
"Film secretly" - perfect bokeh lmao
I was born in venezuela and I had to go to another country because there was not enough food.
by changing your dollars in the black market you contributed to the problem.
Gorrin and other bolichicos hoarding the official currency exchange bids and then reselling it in the black market is why people have to buy from the black market on the first place.
Why change your dallors in the bank.There the biggest criminals piriod.
We didn't see anything..... Only a big wad of cash...... How would anyone know where that actually came from....
@@mrzoukdotcomzouklambadaboo8212 Changing money at the bank is A rip off that's why the black market exist in places like South Africa were the banks determine how much money we can take out the country.
Exactly
So their currency is like everyone else’s not worth the paper it is printed on.
Linda Gaines - the difference being i can take my worthless US paper and actually buy medicine for my child.
paper currency is based on trust...not value.
Jase Walters - your correct, paper money is based on trust. And the Venezuelan Bolivar has lost that
Well in England the notes are now made out of plastic so the jokes on you mate
@@kamakaziozzie3038 as long as you can afford hundreds of dollars for daily insulin, for said children in the US...or just cross the Canadian border and pay 7$ for the same meds.
Socialism and capitalism actually compliment each other well when they're balanced and regulated in order to keep them both in check.
Whereas the extreme version of either is toxic and leaves large portions of the population vulnerable.
If i wouldn't want to go to a city then it would be Venezuela
cheers
“we’re afraid to speak out against the repressive government” they say while speaking out against government on camera and in anti-government Venezuelan newspapers
Doesn’t mean they aren’t a afraid. They just take the risk. Did you not see her get shot at, on film? No one should fear for their life because they don’t agree with their government.
Ballofshit!!!!

Seeing a person starving really humbles me 😔
Venezuela probably hasn't humbled you too much
Peace? Stfu troll
you should try starvation yourself if you think seeing someone starve is humbling.
Lol That may be true people are ungrateful and only really start to change when stuff starts happening to them but hopefully this will humble him or her i’m Humble just have food in refrigerator but I am tired of struggling myself I really wanna start a family and I’m getting older I want to get married but I think God that I’m not starving but even if I was in their situation I would make a gang that’s the only way out of this situation that they’re in I can think of and I would ask God for forgiveness and fight to get out of my situation even if it means death i’m not the type of person to bend over or bend I figure out a way I don’t give up and I never have been that type of person I always figure out a way I’m a soldier in a survivor in I don’t give up now or give in these people are weak they should start A riot or revolt and kill him and take their country back the people make the country not the president who cares if we have soldiers there’s millions of people in that little country they can take their country if they all stay in together some might die but I’d rather die than live my life and I’m still fairly young leave my whole life until I’m 90 or 80 being in oppression 🤦 that’s the only seclusion I could come up with or do what she did save up enough money to get your family to America hell if you were a woman America would definitely take care of your children in you especially if you’re a foreigner they don’t give a damn about us man nobody does my children and women always comes first in dogs

Hard times create capitalists
Capitalists creates good times
Good times create socialists
Socialists create hard times...
(Also applies to communists)
FEEL THE BERN!!! lol
After the first sentence, I thought you were talking about Chicago.
And Chicago got also the biggest oil reserve in the world?
Divide and conquer plan applied in Venezuela.
The fact that they let these documentaries be filmed answers many questions.
Questions such as?
How many people came here for the psychological comparison to Bernie and his "socialist" politics?
People need to come here to see what socialsim does to a nation -- the Communists are very good at hiding it from the outside world. Bernie and all the far leftists would do this to the USA, only they would destroy it even faster.
I'm only 7 minutes in but I really like this documentary. "It's hard to imagine that [Venezuela] was once seen as a model of socialist success." That's a scathing indictment of socialism, it is well deserved. I don't care where you're from, but "socialism" is not the panacea anyone thinks it is.
BEETLEJUUS your comment is oxymoronic. If your an American that’s understandable as you’ve been bombarded with capitalistic propaganda. America has contributed massively to the current conditions in Venezuela and in the main the only Venezuelans condemning the current and past regimes are the white ones, the elite that have seen their wealth eroded by socialistic policies. My sympathy for them is zero because their personal greed and lack of concern for the poor makes me nauseous. Just like America.
Five pistols is not heavily armed 😂🤣😂
It is when everyone else is UN-armed.
What a dumb, ignorant comment
I would put out those wannabe gangsters with my sniper rifle...
@@nicaxiv14jd alot of talking big man. Try this at rio and your limbs will be severed
What a shame. This country was once one of the richest country's in the world. Now it's a mess. God bless these people in Venezuela.
Why does the narration say “ after a populous president” when it’s a socialist/ communist president????? MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Do you know what populism is?
take a random city from US and show poor people and bands
You mean a random city in socialist California?
poiuh34 you mean tent city full of drug users in Commifornia ( state ran into the ground by democrats aka socialists)
@TheDukeV / Boehoehoe
Oh fuck off Caracas is the the most dangerous in the world
See it all the time on the news. Not fake news. Democrats don't want you seeing how democrats run cities. They won't complain about it because it them that's causing the problems.
non journalism
OK so who froze all of Venezuela's money?? 🤔
The kuntz!
Government officials money* and even if they had they wouldn't have done anything good with it
start planting food on your balconies. a few beans here and a tomato there makes a difference at the end of the week!
Very interesting documentary
Bernie has convinced the young that this is the best way to live, little do they know what they are getting into.
Ed, True. And these spoiled kids have no idea how bad it will be for them.
The lassiez faire extremists invested a lot in propaganda.
You're looking at one of the extremes, while ignoring the other which is what we're falling deeper into in the US: an oligarchy where the wealthy control the govt, and the uncontrolled Capitalism that brought it on.
For there to be stability and prosperity, balance is needed. And if you look up the growing homeless crisis in the USA, you'll find similar stories of people struggling just to survive day by day.
There's something wrong with both out of control socialism and capitalism. Neither should be the all dominating force.
The growing wave of left-leaning voters is an attempt to tip the scale back into balance, much in the same way the conservatives in Venezuela are trying to pull their system back.
@@egolono10 True.. There should be a happy medium,
But bernie aint it
For now , I will take the rich a*sholes
really ? the US santions has nothing to do with it. bailing banks and tax cut for the rich is also socialist.
Including Nujabes music was a really giga chad move btw
I grew up in Caracas but when I turned 3 years old my parents decided to move to The Netherlands where I live now. I’m really sad that I can’t see my family over there, luckily the biggest part of my family moved to Chile, Puerto Rico, Colombia Mexico and the US. I hope to visit Venezuela again. 🇻🇪❤️🩹
The U.S. and its allies should unfreeze Venezuelas assets. They froze the accounts related to oil revenue.
