John Oliver of HBO’s hit show “Last Week Tonight” ran a segment last week about Venezuela. For about three minutes, he talked about Venezuela’s economic crisis and President Nicolas Maduro’s inane ideas, like seizing idle factories and encouraging women to air dry their wet hair. Oliver also alluded to food and energy shortages. However, he forgot to mention one thing: socialism.
Oliver, for whatever reason, omitted the term socialism from his three-minute diatribe about Maduro and Venezuela. Socialism has been the main cause of Venezuela’s descent into chaos. It’s a sad shame because viewers may have thought that Venezuela is suffering because of an inept leader, which is wrong. The chaos in Venezuela is what you get from price controls, central planning and socialist leaders.
