Have there been socialists blaming capitalism? I've only seen socialists, who previously touted the shining beacon of socialism in Venezuela, now claiming it wasn't true socialism.
- jimmywanger 9y agoThe socialism playbook is to blame capitalism "foreign economic sanctions" and "economic warfare". It's what the Russian premieres did, what Castro did, what Chavez did, and what Maduro is doing. Also they claim that domestic capitalists are hoarding and causing the system to collapse.
