    Venezuela is one of those countries that just constantly seems to be in a bad state. I can’t imagine living under a government that disrespects its people.

      It’s in a bad state now because of the sanctions placed upon it. It was in a bad state before because of capitalist rule.

      For a colonial power, Spain was a real douchebag. The effects of that douchebaggery seem to have real staying power.
