If you have studied, you have listened just one side — capitalist. Communism is not what they tell you. Read from the source. Read Marx. And don’t mix states that has label “communist” with the theoretical concept of Communism. Otherwise, you could ask yourself how is “communist” China economically destroyed capitalist United States.

And BTW, Venezuela was not a socialist country even under Chavez. It is a private-initiative driven society. They just don’t want to give over their oil to the U.S. capitalists, and therefore they were labeled “socialists”. See Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone project, he was there.

Here, you can compare havoc in capitalist Puerto Rico with “socialist” Venezuela, side by side:
