The ideals of socialism are the opposite of the ideals of business, they're diametrically opposed, even. If Venezuela's industries had been owned by the public and benefits shared a la socialism they wouldn't have had any of the internal problems at all, they would have had a ton of external ones later, but they could easily have fed and kept safe their population, if it had been truly socialist.
It was the lack of money and assets for the people and the hoarding of them by private individuals that caused that part of their whole mess, not the concept of sharing and public ownership. Plenty more as well obvs, but the wealth was never spread out to actual venezuelans en masse.

Reply to Adult entertainment club's event at Texas golf course surprises high school golf team by Capt_Foxch
Only shock here is that schools have golf teams.
Wtaf. There are classes of 40 out there in rundown buildings with the teachers buying the kids pens and books, and Jo facilities to play any sports at all, but there's a golf team at Lord Poshingtons For Whites or whatever.

And the US must give back all the mainland to First Nation tribes, and Hawaii back to Pacific Islanders.
France must give back its territory to the neanderthals, china renounces china so the Australopithecus descendents can have it back, and literally everybody in the world gives the 6 continents outside of Africa back to the Kenyans, because that's who got to everywhere else first.
The middle east especially must become a new Kenyan state and all the crazy religious people there must leave, it was Africans who were there first. All other are invaders, all of them.
Let's get right back to it in fact and work out which proto-mammal ancestors of the ape family evolved whereabouts on Pangea or Gondwanaland.
Territorys just can't be undone or given back because it simply becomes madness, Poland was "taken" by the current polish people from previous occupants like everywhere else, the Rus or Bulgars or Huns or Mongols could make the same claims against the theatrical tarts currently pretending this is real in Poland. Probably some extremist right-wing agitators sponsored by Russia to distract from the failing invasion of Ukraine.

Literally the opposite because they made domestic manufacturing more expensive because the tariffs were on steel and aluminum and other raw materials. Domestic manufacturing becomes more expensive.
Tariffs are taxes on business, paid to the government by American businesses; business does not give away free money, they charge customers more. Tariffs become taxes on goods for everyday people. Every American lost in trump's idiotic trade war. China's market went from 8.8 billion people to 8.6 billion people, china didn't suffer.

Most people don't get much stuff bought for them, and most people therefore can't afford a whole apartment by themselves until they get a well into a well paying career.
If you live in a haystack or have rich parents that might be different, but that makes you an outlier.
