No, that's not my argument. The new socialist leaders are in the same position as the old wealthy people but this time they provide education and healthcare. So it hasn't change in the economical structure but it is much better that now they have superior healthcare and education. All this news that catch your attention have been happening before the new regime, its just that capitalist propaganda wasn't interested in expanding their failures. Like they don't give you too much information about a place that is actually doing way worst than Venezuela, Mexico. Where people get killed in the streets randomly and no place you go to is secure (for citizens) unless you are in the wealthy class. The chances of getting killed in the super capitalist Mexico are way higher than in Venezuela. The access to education and healthcare are way lower than Venezuela but they are sill a capitalist country.So your argument is that pre-socialism, Venezuela was a great place to live for some people, and post-socialism Venezuela is a great place to live for no one, where instead of just some people being cripplingly poor, everyone is! I'm sure they are loving their superior healthcare, with rolling blackouts causing fatalities across the country in hospitals that can no longer maintain generator power.
