Cuba Has Hijacked Venezuela
Is Cuba the only country in the world that, besides being run by a Communist family dictatorship, has a fairly heavily top down socialized economy?
Well, there's North Korea.
To be fair, the two countries appear to be at opposite poles of the "better or worse" spectrum among actually existing socialist states, the Cuban economy being far kinder to ordinary people, the Cuban state being far less geared to war, and the Cuban government being considerably less savage toward its own people.
On the other hand, the Bolivarian Revolution is turning Venezuela into a Cuban branch office, and it's not going all that well for the Venezuelans.
