Regarding oil, the dictatorship uses it to keep powers like China and Russia happy and on its side!
And we could say that the people in the capital earn their living thanks to the government, which maintains a somewhat stable environment, but only there. Furthermore, after 30 years of indoctrination, the government has managed to make people content with the crumbs the dictatorial elite throws their way. In terms of thought and in many aspects, I dare say there's a setback of at least 30 years.
Same (actually worse) in North Korea too.
Ince you can bring up two generations indoctrinated in your thoughts, you have it under control. That is the rule of thumb.
Are you from N Korea?
No. Just a keen observer of society and polity.
The nazis could learn from Venezuela and North Korea too. They had the Germans under control, but instead of solidifying the base, they sought immediate territorial expansion which brought their downfall.
Thanks for the comment. Does most of the population live in Caracas? How do the poorer classes survive?
And what is the "millionaire bubble" class making money on? Reports seem to imply that oil production is no longer happening?
