Now what were you expecting?

Venezuela's "Bolivarian Revolution" has always been about gathering power and money for an elite few and screw everyone else. The Venezuelan government does not care about its people - no socialist or communist leadership does. All that talk is just pure propaganda for the low-information voters. From InSight Crime:

Mexican Cartels – Venezuela’s Uninvited Guests Here to Stay
Talk of Mexico’s cartels in Venezuela has become commonplace, so much so that one town has been re-baptized after one of the world’s most notorious criminal groups: the Sinaloa Cartel.

In San Felipe, a village near Machiques de Perijá in the northwestern state of Zulia, hearing Mexican accents has become routine. Local residents near the border with Colombia say that the presence of Mexicans is so strong the town has been unofficially renamed Sinaloa.

Sources on the ground provided InSight Crime with a range of evidence they say confirms the presence of emissaries from Mexican criminal groups. Ranchers, local manufacturers and residents have all witnessed luxury vehicles entering town, parties blaring with narcocorridos, increased demand for prostitution and other abnormalities that have changed everyday life.

“Sinaloa isn’t just a random name, many of the pilots [of drug planes] are Mexican. We’ve seen them talking in hotels, and a person with this accent is easy to remember. They call this town of ours Sinaloa,” one local told InSight Crime on the condition of anonymity.

The good news is that it looks like President Trump is turning his administration towards dealing with this. Time to roll up the bad guys and let everyone else get back to making a prosperous life for themselves. Capitalism works - Venezuela used to be a shining example of it. Biggest economy in South America and it exported food all over the world. Now, it can not even feed its own citizens.
