And completely ignore Hugo Chavez? Why? Hugo Chavez actually was in charge of Venezuela for the bulk of the period you're talking about.
I know that Lemmy is filled with Marxists who want to have as favorable of a viewpoint of Communism as possible. But... uhhhh... Hugo Chavez and his successor haven't exactly made Venezuela into a utopia.
What I do know, is decades of Hugo Chavez (and now Maduro) rule has led into Venezuela's current predicaments. And that's directly led, as in these are the people who actually controlled the country and built it up for what it is over the last nearly 30 years.
USA has foreign policy influence for sure, but the bulk of Venezuela's problems are Venezuala's alone to deal with. We aren't responsible for the vast majority of decisions over there.
But whatever. If those migrant waves are coming to USA looking for hopes, dreams and opportunity, I'm on their side. There's benefits to accepting the dreamers who make such a long trip. We have housing issues to deal with (and other population issues), but we can probably afford letting some of them in.
It didnt work for the joke.
