What kind of idiot thinks you should base a currency on a consumable? Also it's a moot point since they don't have any fucking food, either.

:autism:

It's an insight into what that autist nation Wrong Planet proposed would be like.

Is there any other type of person worse than hateful, joyless autists like these?

It wasn't just advocating for a currency backed by a consumable, it was advocating for a currency backed by a consumable under the assumption that it would resolve inflation.

You know, because nothing tackles inflation better than backing a currency with something which:

• Fluctuates between a surplus during summer and fall toward an equilibrium and then deficit during the winter and early spring
• Can easily be produced and is often in abundance
• Is difficult to properly measure (Do we use bushels? Pounds? Metric tonnes?)
• Can easily be imported and often is imported

Then again it's kind of autistic to poke holes in the economic understanding of a Venezuela apologist, since everyone that isn't a Venezuela apologist already knows that it's stupid.

I still find it interesting to pick apart such ideas personally. People like them provide excellent examples of how not to grow an economy.

Or, indeed, the actual Venezuelan government themselves.

What do you mean? Imposing strict price controls on basic commodities and centering your entire economy on oil is clearly the best way to build a sustainable economy. After all, it's not like the people selling produce need to afford to live. That's selfish!

It's the worst case of Dutch disease I've heard of in recent history. Russia is also over-dependent on oil, but they're trying to diversify their economy so as to avoid disaster.

Pol Pot was a CIA agent, apparently.

Imagine what a history course run by these people would be like.

Holy shit. There are some indications that the CIA did have contact with Saloth Sar, even after the fall of Phnom Penh, but it's sketchy and not all that reliable. Even if it were credible, it'd just amount to sour grapes on the part of the CIA as they weren't as free to do as they pleased in SE Asia in the wake of US withdrawal from Vietnam.

There's equally credible evidence (that is to say not very) that the CIA offered some assistance the Vietnamese when they went into Democratic Kampuchea. CIA spooks are weird, who would've figured?

Nope, reds, Pol Pot was a piece of shit and the CIA didn't have to do much to make him that. He was more than capable of it on his own.

This is where "that wasn't real communism" meets conspiracy theorist bollocks.

Putin has proclaimed solidarity with Palestine, and asked Israel to end to end the occupation.

What do SLS think of a HOMOPHOBIC CONSERVATIVE WHITE MALE taking the side of one of their beloved causes?

...Well, pretty much nothing. It doesn't seem to be mentioned on their front page at all.

Get ready for them to either say:
-Putin is secretly a gay trans and the oppression of fags in Russia don't real
-This is CIA psyop.

They won't say either. They'll just ignore it.

Although you may have a point, given the whole "Pol Pot was a CIA agent" thing.

They may just call it like it is, Putin trying to thumb his nose at a chief US ally.

But, I'd wager silence will be their response.

They may do, but when have they ever properly understood a political issue?

I'm drawing a blank on that one.

I was expecting tax reform salt, but I haven't actually seen any. Instead, here's more Venezuelan apologism.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitLiberalsSay/comments/7gwh96/venezuela/

The Venezuelan opposition are responsible for everything wrong, America is worse, and so on. It's just more of the same.

Unfortunately we can't arrange a cultural exchange programme to send all these tards there and get rid of them.

A supporter of the Syrian government photographed in a ruined Syrian city has turned out to be a straight up neo Nazi and Francoist who wanted to name his son Hitler.

What was that about Arab states having "very little fascist ideology" again? I favour a government victory over the Islamist rebels as well, but at least I accept I'm in bad company doing so.
