Bill Maher lays out exactly what happens when people trade capitalism for socialism. He says New York City is in for a rude awakening after voting in Zohran Mamdani: “In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet-style economics, went all in on capitalism. Now their economy is as big as Japan.” “Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez's socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism capitalism in the last century, or any century, a f*cking mess.” “It turned one of Latin America's richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, eight million people fleeing.” If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you're in for a rude awakening. Zohran can't make your wishes come true.“
