From the\u00a0disaster of socialism to the\u00a0real disaster of nature’s power is only a matter of minutes<\/p>\n

Such as we are seeing in the wake of Venezuela’s monstrous 7.2 and 7.5 ‘doublet’ earthquakes, the country’s worst in more than 100 years, which struck the northern coast of the country less than an hour apart yesterday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This many areas of the country have been affected:\u00a0The sprawling metropolis of Caracas, known as Liberatador, and the states of Miranda, La Guaira, Carabobo, Aragua, and Falcon, according to the Caracas Chronicles. Obviously, Yaracuy state, which is where the epicenter was must have been affected, it’s\u00a0the home state of one of our finest sources on Venezuela, Daniel Duquenal, who is now living abroad. If Yaracuy was affected, it’s likely there are other states, such as Cojedes and Guarico affected, too. It’s absolutely terrible to think about. It’s\u00a0the entire populated area on the coast, not the sparsely populated grasslands and dense jungle in Venezuela’s center and south, where the force of nature hit hardest.<\/p>\n

It’s right that the international community, including, foremost, the U.S., has stepped up to help with search, rescue and survivor care. The people affected are very likely the ones who spent years protesting their terrible socialist governments, only to see their elections stolen in front of their eyes.<\/p>\n

Look at the despair\u00a0and the sorrow of the people unable to rescue their injured loved ones from beneath the tons and tons of rubble, some of them calling out, dying, in homes transforming by the hour into\u00a0tombs:<\/p>\n

There’s no search and rescue, there’s no ambulances, there’s no hospitals, there’s no fire trucks, and yes, fires are breaking out nightmarishly enough\u00a0— Venezuela’s health care lies in ruins – nor is there an\u00a0organized effort to dig out.<\/p>\n

Socialism has well and truly\u00a0taken over in that country, and as this leftish but still good essayist in the Caracas Chronicles notes, one of the effects is that the state has abandoned its\u00a0basic functions of government:<\/p>\n

\n

The aftermath is even more devastating when one considers how profoundly unprepared Venezuela is to respond to a disaster of this magnitude. Natural disasters are catastrophic by definition, posing immense challenges even for wealthy countries with competent institutions. For the battered nation that is post-Maduro Venezuela, responding to a crisis of this scale may prove overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Venezuela has faced what the United Nations defines as a complex humanitarian emergency, a prolonged and multidimensional collapse of the state\u2019s ability to perform its core functions. This has been the status since at least 2016. Few sectors have suffered more than healthcare. Years of mismanagement, systemic corruption, and chronic underinvestment have devastated the country\u2019s health system, compounding the deterioration of the electrical grid and other essential public services.<\/p>\n

Since at least 2022, the Venezuelan state has increasingly adopted a hands-off approach to governance. This shift, shaped by a post-socialist form of laissez-faire economic policy, reduced state control over large parts of the economy and contributed to a modest but visible revival in business activity. In many ways, the tate appeared to retreat from major areas of public administration while preserving absolute control over others, particularly the security apparatus and the machinery of censorship and political repression.<\/p>\n

So there’s no infrastructure for search and rescue, let alone medical care in place. Socialists spend now, and spend on cronies, the idea of maintaining infrastructure for a rainy day is simply never done. That’s one reason why the country was so horribly unprepared for its Big One.<\/p>\n

The other is that the country is loaded with shambling buildings, thrown up in the 1950s and 1960s quickly during the various oil booms, and never brought up to code.<\/p>\n

First, socialism’s threats of state expropriation against apartment buildings, which has been going on for more than 20 years, puts a lot of damper on new construction. Ownership, see, isn’t always ownership, meaning, old buildings stay up, same as they do in rundown Havana, and new ones don’t get built. The old buildings were built before standard earthquake codes were developed and few were ever upgraded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to engineering firm Miyamoto International, which has a very good piece out:<\/p>\n

\n

From an engineering standpoint, the scale of structural damage is not surprising given what we know about Venezuela\u2019s built environment. A significant share of the country\u2019s building stock, particularly older urban residential construction, consists of unreinforced masonry \u2014 a material category that performs poorly in earthquakes and is prone to sudden, catastrophic collapse.<\/p>\n

Structural engineers commenting on the disaster noted that many of the collapsed buildings were likely constructed before the early 1970s, under building codes that predate modern seismic design standards. Venezuela has since adopted updated codes aligned with international standards, including provisions from the American Concrete Institute. Buildings constructed under those newer codes are expected to perform markedly better \u2014 but in a city like Caracas, which grew rapidly through the mid-twentieth century, a large share of the housing and commercial stock predates those protections.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Venezuela reportedly does have globally recognized\u00a0earthquake standards on new construction, but with Venezuela rated one of the most corrupt countries in the world, does anyone think they really followed them? Just look at that tweet above showing new low-income Chavista housing, precious little of which was ever built, and the new edifices that were built going down like bowling pins, full warnings in place about the absence of earthquake fitness.<\/p>\n

Miyamoto\u00a0explains that this is why disaster preparedness is critical:<\/p>\n

\n

It reinforces the critical role of pre-disaster mitigation: seismic risk assessment, retrofit programs, and updated construction enforcement before the event, not after.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No, they don’t seem to have any of that. You know Japan does. You know Chile does. I doubt Venezuela does.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan\u00a0socialist government chased the international insurance industry out of the country as greedy capitalists and now insurance is only available through a few local insurers the government\u00a0allows to exist. The insurance international investors are forced to buy for buildings is something called ‘political risk insurance,’\u00a0against state takings, and it doesn’t come cheap.<\/p>\n

Why build when the government is standing there, ready to take away, capitalist running dogs?<\/p>\n

The failure of basic governance is a phenomenon we saw in Los Angeles on a smaller scale with the failed city and state responses to the Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires that burned those entire cities to the ground and left them in rubble, to be followed by red tape and high costs for victims and a coverup report by the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

In Venezuela, the disaster has come at\u00a0an untold scale, and right now, the state has just discovered it’s $240 billion in debt.<\/p>\n

What it tells us is that socialism is devastating in its consequences during a natural disaster. And that should be a warning to all those Democrats in the states who see socialism as their answer to a Democrat party they despise. Vote for a socialist, hope there is never a natural disaster because the net impact is alway, everywhere, that socialists do not prepare for disasters, they spend the cash they can take immediately, and none of it to save the people.<\/p>\n
