Sorry i don't buy it. I was born in Argentina and have met many Venezuelans (and many economic crisis). I know what a dictatorship is (I was born in one) and Venezuela is obviously not one.
Not all dictatorships are the same, but if you think Venezuela is so fine and democratic, you should take a trip there. Talk to brown people if you want, run an informal poll and see how much people like Maduro.
live a surrogate of the US culture.
We're speaking English in a site hosted in the US that spawned out of an invention that came from a man who published his research in English and found an American audience. You're using a computer that wouldn't exist without key US inventions. Wake up, dude, you are *also* living in a surrogate of US culture. You obviously also have enough disposable time and income to sit around and shill the petro on a forum, so you're doing quite well yourself, better than at least 87% of Venezuelans.
I hope the Petro will work. You can hope it won't, your country and its people will suffer even more, so you can satisfy your hatred. You are free.
And I hope it won't, because
I know my country and my people would suffer more if the petro raised capital for Maduro's regime. But you also are welcome to waste your money on a technically incompetent team that can't even send email properly.
