Must be the other four people from Venezuela besides me on the fediverse. That know for a fact that Venezuela is nothing like Norway and explaining why would take an essay that I have no time to write because I have a life outside of arguing on the internet. But I’m not interested in doing anyway since it’s a somewhat dumb comparison to make in the first place.
However, the fact you find coincidental patterns in up and downvotes so suspect suggest why would you draw such an outrageous conclusion from what I assume is the cliff notes of Wikipedia articles and propaganda pieces.
I don’t find them suspect. I just find them interesting, Guy Who Left Venezuela And Volunteers His Opinions Without Explaining them (Reminds me of Boomer Who Moved Out Of The Soviet Bloc In 1970 And Invariably Shows Up Tell You That Communism Can Never Work Without Explaining Every Time A Progressive Voices Support For Social Politics On The Internet… I do wish he had a more concise name).
In all seriousness I’m a little touchey on this subject too. I have a few friends in Venezuela who’s lives are hell, not for local politics but for American sanctions and war threats over the past decade. They’re committed to their families. I don’t really know what I’m going to do if my government ends up hurting them.
…Slrpnk? It’s a small social ecology themed instance. Nothing to do with state communism or tankies. But I’d prefer you not argue with me regardless, thanks.

Let me guess, you have black friends too?
OH, shoot. Just noticed your instance. I have no desire to argue with hateful tankies. Bye.
