What Venezuela has never seen, is a classic liberal system.

Agreed! Is anyone in Venezuela working toward that?

Is anyone anywhere going in that direction? I'd be happy to be wrong, but it seems like economic liberalism is being slowly and carefully crushed everywhere


Actually the closest group (political party?) promoting classical liberalism/libertarianism is the one led by Maria Corina Machado: Vente Venezuela.

So the answer is yes!

Be watchful for the careful crushing I'm warning about. Liberal/libertarian political parties are always infested with politicians using the most cleverly crafted lies of everyone else in the political spectrum. It should be obvious why: political power is anathema to liberal ideals, true liberal/libertarian politicians would be essentially turkeys voting for christmas. They will tell you lies, or make themselves look stupid. In Venezuela, you'll probably get the lies, whereas in the established "liberal" countries the "look stupid" variety are more the norm.
