From the article linked below:
In response to protests and mounting opposition, the socialist government cracked down on critics. In 2013, Maduro, Chávez’s successor, requested an enabling law to permit him to rule by decree. The next year he created the “Ministry of Supreme Happiness” to coordinate government social programs. The measures did not “work,” if by that term we mean a return to prosperity and stability; of course, they are never going to “work,” since socialism is an ideological doctrine rather than one of workable economics. The ongoing crisis in Venezuela is a direct result of these failed policies.
To make matters worse, the regime has sought to export its troubles around the region and to the United States, by running drugs and encouraging gang members to enter the United States via an open southern border during the Biden years. This brought down a criminal indictment on Maduro from the United States, which he never thought would be enforced. In the event, the Trump administration arrested him last week and threatened to bring to an end that country’s unfortunate experiment in socialism.
Some say that Venezuelan voters chose this course when they elected Chávez and then Maduro, and so they deserve to reap the consequences of what they have sown. Given how flagrantly the regime rigged elections, it would be unfair to blame the poor people of Venezuela, many of whom are against the socialist government.
Comment:
But why then is “SOCIALISM” - frequently a euphemism for COMMUNISM - so universally popular?

Socialism is popular for what it promises, not what it delivers.

I think socialism is popular now because for decades the Left has been allowed to have free rein in our schools to poison the minds of generations of our children. And of course the Left dominates the media and poisons minds through that, too.
Also, they flooded the country with uneducated, ignorant foreigners who don’t care about freedom or assimilation, they just want to milk the system through welfare and fraud while they outnumber and dominate us, as we’re seeing with the Somalians.
Then the Left uses their vote, which is how so many commies like Walz, Omar, and Mamdani get elected. Is it possible even for Trump to clean up this massive mess of corruption?
I don’t know what the best fix is for Venezuela.
It was great that they removed Maduro, but there’s a big mess there to clean up, too.
