Thank you for your reply

Yes, I am very interested in what is going on in Venezuela and try my best to keep up with current events and developments going on in the country by various independent news sources and news coming in from my own country about developments in Venezuela.

Venezuelanalysis,com has done extensive reporting and coverage of the opposition protests in recent days, often reflecting on the relativity violent nature of some of the protests, and some of the violent radical opposition groups reflect an almost 'coup-like' nature to the protests.

Before you hear my opinion on this, you should know that my political convictions are towards a more Marxist socialist line, meaning I believe what Maduro is doing is good but had not gone far enough. In my opinion, he should have expropriated the private media day one.

There are many different types of economics, each one depending on which theory it subscribes to (neoclassical, Keynesian, Austrian, classical, Marxian, etc.) so economics does not fit in a one-size fits all package, there are multiple types and practices, each following different laws on profits, markets, etc.

shortages are not happening just because some executive bourgeois decided to hate on Chavez/Maduro and thus decided to not sell stuff anymore or decided to sell stuff at a bigger price just because they want to give Venezuelans a hard time and blame it onto Chavez/Maduro.

No, of course not. The shortages are not occurring because prices are being raised. Shortages are occurring because products are being HOARDED, thus raising the price because these items become scarce. Or the media announcing a shortage that isn't there, which actually does create a shortage as people are in a mad rush to buy things before they run out. Venezuelan inspectors and police have found HUGE warehouses of these hoarded products. All of the things that have shortages (toilet paper, powdered milk, etc.) Presumably, these products were to be shipped out of country (probably to Colombia) to be sold at black market exchange rates in order to make more profit for owners, which raises inflation due to all the extra money entering the economy and devaluing and inflating the currency.

Economics doesn't justify that behavior; stealing from the people and destroying the economy.

I support Maduro, I support the Bolivarian Revolution, and I support the Venezuelan government in dealing with these critical economic problems that are happening in the country.

Truth be told, the Venezuelan private media and private companies are the ones waging an economic war (causing shortages, driving up inflation by black market exchanges, etc.) in an attempt to destabilize Maduro's government and then blame the problems on him and his government.

I hope all the best to everyone in Venezuela, and I hope you guys work out these problems.
