...but compared to Venezuelan Bolívar probably it is.
Totally in agreement with you on that. As a matter of fact even seashells would perform better than Bolivar, heck I saw some nice souvenir shells for 2.6$ yesterday in my local shop... jokes aside;
I don't know what is your background or who buys this petro but for me, every communist organisation is an
organised crime group with murderous tendency, genocide inclinations and should be considered as an enemy of piece with potential plans for crime against humanity!
This strikes me personally, because I know how it feels to live under communist regime. This dangerous ideology eats through people like lupus, its like a cancer of the mind! It leaves human-beings empty, deprived, derailed, sick to the bone and miserable. Someone who never experienced that system on their own skin, will never understand how painful and sad it can be. It sticks to the brain like a warm, used chewing gum and stays for the generation, infecting all what's around, with one goal - destruction of thyself.
With all respect for the poor people of
BoliviaVenezuela, their system need no rescue, it needs executioner.
Now, from my perspective ANYONE who bought this coin should be considered as supporter of the oppression system, should be ashamed publicly and forced to personally apologize families of those who died under that horrible, inhuman system. There was a time in America when such people would face prison time... I sometimes regret that it is over.
I spent a significant part of my life under communist regime so I know exactly what you are talking about and I absolutely agree with you on the crime against humanity part. People living in the West, especially independent thinking ones, might think that communist governments care about working class people and peasants after seeing some communist propaganda films. But what those governments actually do is they make slaves out of working class people and peasants deceiving them at the same time through the media. In fact disadvantaged groups live much better life in the Western countries than under communist regimes. It's very hard to understand for those acquainted with the subject only through books and movies though.
As for the Petro tokens, 100 million of which will be offered for purchase at the price $60 each, I wouldn't call anyone who bought this coin a supporter of the oppression system. Don't forget that the citizens of Venezuela don't have much of a choice. So I wouldn't blame them for buying Petro. But of course for the crypto traders living abroad investing in Petro, apart from being a very stupid move financially, it
is a support of the oppression system imo.
