How did the USA interfering in the Middle East cause Chavez to appropriate all the successful businesses, and force their oil company to become unprofitable?
You know how big capitalist business takes small business out? Selling things bellow cost to drive them out, when they are out they put prices back up & end up with monopoly.
Which is completely unrelated to this issue. Venezuela made their oil unprofitable by ruining the business model and forcing them to hire more employees without need.
