My Dad worked for Standard Oil of California and we grew up in Camp Richmond and went to school at EBV. All of us loved Venezuela and my parents did not want to leave, great country and great people. I hope that some how it goes back to like it was before Chavez and the bus driver messed it all up.
It’s a shame and a crime to what happened to Venezuela, a country so prosperous ends up in misery
A fast growing country... We had such a bright future 😥😥😥😥
@@kurtz-xr2bd hell no
you did, abandon marxism and be a capitalist country
@@ns7353 absolutely.. I wish it was up to me, I hate communism and I'm disgusted by those atrocious ideologies
No es progreso...es esclavitud...
@@ns7353 nationalist Government would be better for the country
These old films are the only thing I have to look forward to anymore..
I love Venezuela from Philippines 😍
That is the Venezuela of my parents when they were young (sigh)
I grew up in Venezuela, my dad worked on the 29th floor of the Centro simón Bolivar, I used to watch the city from the balcony by his office. Venezuela had its good and bad. Lots of europeans escaped the misseries of WW2, We even had American immigrants, not only oil employees, but teachers, musicians, etc. we were then oblivious and unaware of our luck and the Cuban -communist cancer, which slowly bamboozled us into believing their anti American propaganda, penetrating in the universities and the less educated (some of my very cousins were invited and brainwashed in Cuba and eventually helped the chavismo) all this Cuban evil brainwork made us resent and dislike the Americans, unable to see the great things the US had brought; we eventually and in a suicidal move blamed Americans of our own corruption and mistakes and choose the cuba-sino-russia alliance and the rest is history that you can see in the sad faces of 7 displaced millions, many on our streets
But it doesn't end there. The very same axis of evil is now penetrating our own American schools, government and cities. God save America
I'm from Venezuela, came to the US as a child. What I great country it was... and now is a failed state... :(
Then: Brought to you by Standard Oil Co.
Now: Brought to you by Iranian National Oil Corporation.
Not really bro, unless you watch a film made by them which is not this...
A huge improvement if you ask me.

Perez Gimenez might have been a dictator but he made Venezuela a much better nation.
Really? I will do more research on that topic, thanks for sharing. I have heard though that communist people in order to spread their ideologies had to go underground and do it in a very cautious way because communist people were easily killed in Venezuela back then (which is not such a bad thing if we keep in mind that basically communists completely ruined Venezuela so I wouldn't be completely against that, I'm not going to lie)
The beginning of the end when you add social inequality in the equation
Yesss. Same in my Chile. Now we are in a rare moment of a probavle comunist era. Ojalá que no.
My dad worked for mini grande oil company in Venezuela back in the 50s. We lived san tome camp I grew up there it was the best time in my life. So many memories. The people were wonderful to us venezuela was a beautiful country. It makes me so sad at what these socialist have done to the people's and the country.
@@royanders4742 absolutely, it is poignant to say the least what is happening with Venezuela. I have read your comment to my mother and she was very pleased to hear that you had a good time in Venezuela back then as at that time my grandfather was still a teen.
"Drilling in the land of contrasts" ~ VENEZUELA SI! MADUREO NO!
Venezuela en esos dias era otra cosa pues, con una economía sólida y estable, esa era la Venezuela próspera, segura y todo un paraíso para los negocios y el turismo, nada que ver con comunistas o socialistas creando caos y miseria, además sus presidentes en el pasado estudiaban y eran verdaderos políticos, no comandantes mediocres ni choferes de buses de baja categoría.
Gracias a padre Estados Unidos era algo prospero
Venezuela creció económicamente con el petróleo más no espiritualmente. Mucha técnica poca tradición.
these old black and whites don't do it justice. Can you imagine how everything must've looked. New and Clean, with bright green plants contrasted by freshly paved roads. After playing allot of Destiny which involves civilizations growth, golden era, and destructive waves that raze it to the ground only to see humanity survive and rebuild again. You can see how those well built roads held up. The history to it all.
Te amo Venezuela 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪 en las buenas y en las malas 😊
Que video tan genial
and now they are using runescape gold for currency
not anymore :c now we cant use even that :c
National Rebirth for Venezuela! No more Maduro! No more Guaido!
Question what’s wrong with Guaidó??
@@Paixpeacehippyoh well, he was a lier
Mi país, mi país, mi país, mi paiiiiiisssssssssss. 🇻🇪
Proud of my country.
Proud of American capital !
As a Venezuelan currently living here in Maracay, i have to Say it is painful to watch all the things we have Lost along with our values and traditions.
With oil, for oil, and by oil
A 3 chavistas o maduristas no les gustó el video.
Que Gran Intercambio Comercial teníamos con USA,Lamentablemente no pudo Continuar por la dichosa Política.
It’s sad to see a developing nation is now in modern times a failed one,
You never know what the future can offer like now some developed nations like Canada and Switzerland can turn into a failed nation in the future
Venezuela in those years had the highest per capita income in the world only surpassed in Europe by Germany, it was higher than Switzerland's. The local currency was even made out of silver.

That's how you pronounce it :|

Venezuela is rich of oil, gas , iron , diamond and gold. If only the government is mismanaged then Venezuela will become one of the richest country in the world.🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
if you would know the reality..
WHAT GOES UP ... GREED WILL DESTROY
Marxism
This is so sad to see...
Cuando se jodio Venezula ,
Pronounces hacienda correctly but can’t say Bolivar
Y llegó chavez y destruyó todooooo
In the end the irony is that oil was a curse for Venezuela
Socialism
@Ramen Lover I DON'T think so. They have learned from Venezuelan mistakes and diversifyed their economy. Las time I was watching a documentary about Dubai and a sheik said something in the line of "What Chávez didn't do for Venezuela, we made it here". As a Venezuelan that hit me hard.
Oil in itself is not a curse... Bad management and wrong politics is the real issue here
Que paso con Venezuela ?!? Un crimen !
So what happen how did it become so corrupt and bad
in 1999 and the early 2000s they attempted to adopt more socialist policies (like the ones many european countries have) but unfortunately something about the way it was applied didnt work out too well and ended up destroying venezuelas economy.
im a venezuelan living in america. its very unfortunate that this had to happen to a country as developed as venezuela. we were a first world country, and everything my people worked for is gone now.
Socialism, a promise with sweet words but has bitter taste
They tried the Marxist death cult and it death culted
@@marty1662 european countries don't have soclists polices. They larp as them due to the USA paying for their defence.
The biggest mistake is depending on oil and the natural resources for the economy
Not really... Wrongly using and mismanaging the profits from that industry is the actual problem
The biggest mistake is actually bad management... Think of Dubai and Qatar and see the big difference
LA REVOLUCION CUBANIZADA QUISO DESTRUIRLA,PERO NO,VENEZUELA SIGUE ADELANTE
Before socialism
I hate socialism
con el retorno del capitalismo Venezuela será la de antes, el comunismo es puro caos y miseria.
@@hardrocker1388 Espero que los venezolanos hayamos aprendido que el comunismo/socialismo no sirve! Y que al salir de la dictadura podamos votar por capitalistas, y que nunca se nos olvide
@@wilmercuevas6491Totalmente de acuerdo, ya ven como está Cuba, y ese modelo de orientación comunista no sirve para América Latina, por eso en Venezuela hay que reestablecer la antigua constitución donde se respeten 5 años de gobierno sin reelección inmediata, con el capitalismo la economía se fortalecerá, habrá mas oportunidades de empleo y bien remunerado, libertad de expresión en todos los medios y también libertad de internet. Venezuela aún puede salvarse, no hay que perder la fe.
The Socialism in Venezuela is a consequence of Capitalism. As told by this cute little video, international companies like Standard Oil controlled Venezuelan oil industry for a century. They sucked out the wealth from Venezuela and left it impoverished and underdeveloped. That gave Chavez the opportunity to implement his own form of Socialism, where he kicked out the international companies, took control of the oil industry, and used the profits on social programs for the citizens. The Capitalist American government (and its corporate cronies) didn't like this because how could they make money that way? So, GW backs coups in Venezuela and for the past 22 years, Capitalist America has been imposing sanctions on Venezuela...
....but, yea...... Its socialism.....
@@LouiePGallo When we didn't have socialism in Venezuela, our lives were better, people actually earned money for their work and we didn't have more than 90% of poverty. Venezuela was one of the richest countries in south america. As soon as socialism started, our problems started. In Venezuela we didn't provide 100% autonomy to international companies. The oil industry was still regulated and the benefits were divided with the government. You can investigate about PDVSA which is the oil company from the government. The oil industry at those times was the most important source of development for the country and created jobs, infrastructure, and petty much single handedly supported the country's economy. People who worked in the oil industry were the ones who earned the most and had better salaries, everybody wanted to work in any of those companies.
American inovation
1:09 Uses de Believer as a currency..? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, greetings from Virginia, The United States of America.
Ahora está hecho mierda xD
Corrieron a los Americanos
@@ChrisB-cx6td¿qué?, no es cierto
Standart oil 80% de las ganancias
VENEZUELA SOLO EL 20% COMO LIMOSNA
Y estábamos 500 veces mejor que ahora que se nacionalizó la extracción de petróleo y básicamente se acabó esta.
@@JJYMTech LA CLASE ALTA Y FINANCIERA SI ESTABA 500 VECES MEJOR
PERO LA CLASE MEDIA Y POBRE NO
VENEZUELA TENIA UN 80% DE POBREZA Y NALFABETISMO.
LOS NEGROS NO TENIAN DERECHO A UN TRABAJO DIGNO GANABAN UN 60%MENOS QUE UN BLANCO.
LA EXPECTATIVA DE VIDA EN LA CLASE POBRE ERA SOLO DE 40 AÑOS.
REPITO PARA LA LASE ALTA Y FINANCIERA SI PARA EL PUEBLO NO
Eso del 80% 20% no es cierto para esta epoca ya era 50% 50% y ademas pagaban impuestos.
@@hiromirodriguez7192 No sé de dónde sacas eso, pero mi papá y mamá eran de padres humildes y mi mamá se graduó de Pedagogo en la cuarta república, varias hermanas de ella y hermanos tienen carrera (que hicieron en la cuarta, antes de Chávez) y por parte de los hermanos de mi papá también, además, a pesar de tener un hijo sin tener nada (en el año 1990) sacaron adelante, compraron su carro nunca le faltó nada a mi hermano vivían relativamente cómodos, cosa que, no sucede a día de hoy, si eres de familia "humilde" a no ser que pegues un golpe de suerte o te metas en negocios ilícitos es casi imposible, a demás conoce cifras reales documentadas por la época con mayor credibilidad de las de ahora, que demuestran que claramente, en esa época había muchísima menos pobreza que ahora, además teníamos buenos servicios (que se pagaban de manera justa) no como ahora que son gratuitos pero fallan un montón al punto de no servir, ah, y ahora ni hay producción de petróleo, y lo poco que hay se lo roba el gobierno y deja acabar las refinerías, así que antes de comentar sandeces piensa que vas a decir y corrobora datos reales no basados en una ideología fracasada.
Jajajajaja, que estupidez era 50%, 50%, y el gobierno de Venezuela recaudaba impuestos en otros sectores más que en el petróleo gracias a la inversión extranjera y las empresas que se instalaban en el país.
