RE: Beggar Towns: The Real Legacy of the Bolivarian Revolution (Pencil drawing)
That's really sad that promises weren't kept and more people because homeless in the process. It's hard seeing people struggle like this... I like the sketch that you did. You're right also about us looking at the human remains as mirrors.
Thanks for your comment.
The saddest thing about this unprecedented moral ruin is that it happened while the country received the highest oil revenues in all its history (from 2010 to 2014 oil prices were around 100$/barrel; before Chavez prices were as down as 10$ and we never saw these levels of poverty).
They could have made sure that all 30 million inhabitants in the country lived decent lives and still live the ostentatious lives they so much criticized from capitalist countries but deep down coveted and materialized for themselves and their close relatives.
