With the experience I have, I do not recommend to anyone a socialist government of the left, I can even move on to the Social Democrats and the Social Christians (who all have some tendencies towards collectivism, but are not as disastrous as the hard and pure Socialism of the political left).

I would be very surprised (and in a bad way) if California followed the example of Venezuela, rather with the economic, social and political disaster that exists here, this should be an anti-example or a counter-example, whatever, it should be one thing that shows everything not to be done.
