Axel Kaiser: 委内瑞拉的社会主义革命导致了持续的独裁统治,选民无法通过投票将其罢免。马杜罗政权是一个与贩毒集团勾结的独裁政权,对整个地区构成安全威胁,并与伊朗、俄罗斯等国存在联系,对美国构成安全威胁。西方媒体对委内瑞拉左翼独裁政权的报道存在双重标准。委内瑞拉的经济状况极度恶化,通货膨胀率极高,GDP大幅下降,石油产量锐减,这都是社会主义政策的结果。委内瑞拉的巨额石油收入被用于资助拉丁美洲其他国家的革命运动和恐怖组织,以及维持国内的暴力镇压机器。玛丽亚·科丽娜·马查多是委内瑞拉的主要反对派领导人,她面临着被监禁甚至被杀害的危险,但她以其勇气、魅力和对自由的坚定信念而闻名,她是委内瑞拉反对派的精神领袖。贩毒集团正在中南美洲扩张,并腐蚀着该地区的政治和经济。 Jordan Peterson: 需要区分社会民主主义、社会主义和共产主义之间的差异,以及这些意识形态在不同制度下的表现。计划经济由于缺乏分布式定价机制,无法有效运作,如同集中决策,效率低下,不如分布式决策有效。需要了解贩毒集团在中南美洲的作用及其对地区稳定构成的威胁。需要关注南美洲的局势,因为这与美国和加拿大的国家安全和政治稳定密切相关。人类的默认道德立场可能是左倾的,但这种立场在复杂的社会中难以扩展。在复杂的社会中,尽责和勤奋比随和更能预测成功。向激进左翼政权提供巨额资金,会导致经济崩溃、移民增加以及地缘政治不稳定。委内瑞拉与贩毒集团、伊朗、俄罗斯和中国的勾结,对西方构成严重威胁。需要了解普通委内瑞拉民众的现状。需要了解委内瑞拉反对派的结构和领导人玛丽亚·科丽娜·马查多面临的威胁。
