In my country, Venezuela, there is a very famous one called: "economic war", used by government officials, and repeated by the few followers they have. The phrase describes a supposed economic war against Venezuela that only exists in the minds of these socialist individuals, and that is the cause of all the country's problems. None of those who repeat this slogan, can explain what is the economic war, but nevertheless, they affirm that it exists and that it is unquestionable.

Sort:  

Oh, yes. And they blame a nebulous "capitalist reactionary conspiracy" for the problems they created through their short-sighted central planning, right?

Yes!

And the true believers still insist this is another example of "socialism still has never really been tried," or, "those foreign countries keep interfering with our workers' paradise?"

Something like that, the incredible thing is that many opponents of socialism, including me, predicted that Venezuela was heading to disaster for almost 10 years and some from further back. However, we never thought that it would go to the extremes in which we find ourselves, since we thought that when the economic model began to fail, the government would come out of power or rectify its error, but they did not release power, nor did they correct. However, socialism always has useful idiots, who repeat phrases like "economic war", to attribute all the harmful effects of our economy.
