RE: Socialism Is War and War Is Socialism - Foundation for Economic Education
Hello dear @vimukthi.
In Venezuela, an administration that identifies itself as a socialist is established. In it, militarization predominates. Progressively, military actors were incorporated into public seats that were traditionally occupied by civilians.
According to certain opinions of prominent Venezuelan professors, they say that the case of the Venezuelan economy should be taken as an object of study in the chairs of economics of the Universities.
All best, Piotr.
The funny thing is that before everything blew up Oxfam International and many "Thinkers" and "Experts" were praising the Venezuelan system left and right:

The sad reality is most people stick their heads in the sand and never try to lean anything. We had massive failures like USSR and Cuba and Mao's China (40-100 million estimated deaths. The estimated range is so large because of the purging of the records) We've also had a lot of success stories like these:

Human Action: A Treatise on Economics by Ludwig von Mises and The Law by Frédéric Bastiat should e must reads for those ho live in Venezuela and those ho want to understand the situation better. I'll drop some quotes below:

On the bright side I see many embracing cryptocurrency and that's the silver lining I see for those who are living there. I wish them best of Luck!
Dear @vimukthi
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for taking the time to reply to my comment. Appreciate it.
ps.
The hardest part of attracting attention on steemit is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find about your new interesting publications.
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.
This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.
pss.
Did you ever consider using Steem-bounty to promote your content? I realized that even sending 1 steem to steem-bounty can get you quite a solid traffic (it's probably one of the most often visited sites related to Steemit).
Yours
Piotr
No big deal. I think the idea on STEEM was to just drop an upvote on anything you like and move on anyways. Comments like "Great post" used to be considered spam.
Thank you for the memo tip. I've seen the success it has had. I've actually seen 10 times engagement growth with @steem0bounty during some of my uses. So I can say that it is effective. #palnet and #spt will soon become very interesting tags. You can also start a https://steemmonsters.com tournament to promote a project/website. You could get exposed to 100+ people by spending few STEEM.
You'll also find some nice things at @contestkings
Best of Luck!
