The Sambil of La Candelaria or fatal arrogance

“Totalitarianism is the new word we have adopted to discover the unexpected but inseparable manifestations of what we theoretically call socialism”

Friedrich Von Hayek

Thirteen years ago, the regime that heads the revolution of all failures unilaterally decided to expropriate the headquarters of a well-known shopping center in the west of the capital city, citing interest in creating community spaces for the community to meet, these justifications tumultuous groups that clearly seek to make abuses against private property drinkable as a pillar of the dynamic component of investments, to later look for external culprits, as in fact was done, in a construct called “economic warfare.”

Thus, for more than two decades, this facility, expropriated after its completion by the construction company, was returned to its original owners showing the signs of persistent destruction, only justified by abandonment, caprice and the discretion of a confiscatory policy. clearly incompatible with the forms of the economy.

This shopping center would run the same paths as other facilities plundered by an all-encompassing regime and absolutely disrespectful of the institutions. If Chavismo has amply demonstrated anything, it is its innate irrational sense and its policy of irascibility against any form of diverse thought. There are no healthy bones in the midst of this collapse of the State, a catastrophic collapse typical of the fall of a emaciated bureaucratic structure such as the Communal State, the ochlocracy, the crowd in rhetoric but not in praxis, have been the sacramental creed of the Chavismo and its ideology, this one that increasingly demonstrates its aporaphobic mood. Those facilities confiscated after being built by private initiative, were never changed into something useful for the community, which was used as an excuse to appropriate the effort of others.

Today, thirteen years after that confiscation, the Sambil de la Candelaria demonstrates the destructive transit through the entrails of a State that engulfs all forms of private initiative and progress. Let us remember that the support of freedoms is economic freedom and it is precisely towards this pivot that the cunning attacks of those who dismantled the country were directed. The former shopping center is returned in ruins, without elevators, without escalators, made a rubble of the many that compete for urban spaces, with buildings worthy of the sultans, built for the new reigning bourgeoisie in this former country and precisely there, It is in that cleft that is already a convex abyss that looks at those who dug it, that the aporaphobic germ of Chavismo resides. They came to install social justice, equality and dignity and are the progenitors of the worst drama of inequality and economic failure in the history of the planet.

Arrogance, the fatal companion of troglodyte collectivism, configures a picture of economic infeasibility, however the little private sector, which has resisted these ruthless excesses, has shown that it can wade through these red sludge by dint of effort, agency and skills, the Plundered owners receive the ruins from the hands of an absolutely incompetent State and undertake to resolve the matter, of course they will succeed because human action seeks progressivity and freedom.

Finally, this factual demonstration of failure will not be noticed as an error by its perpetrators, on the contrary, they will look for an external enemy, sanctions, economic warfare or who knows what excuse from the pit of their infinite fantastic pseudology, however following the advice from Rafael Cadenas: “The language and the word must be rinsed”, to sterilize them from the hoaxes of the minions of the pseudo language, the Sambil thing and the entire plethora of expropriated companies is the radical demonstration of the achievement of the revolution of all the failures, living proof of the incompatibility of economic calculation in communist tyranny.

This policy of confiscation must be evaluated with the purge perpetrated on state companies, starting with PDVSA, which had its field of action removed from know-how and was reduced to rubble incapable of even taking advantage of the crisis in Europe. Oriental and supply the hated empire, by the way, those who, when coming to agree with the regime, warned that not only was it incapable of generating trust, but also of producing what they required.

Chavismo, then, is an abject entelechy, which destroyed the oil industry, the currency, the institutions and ended up establishing a natural state of things, where iniquity prevails. It is there where all the unfeasibility of these hard and musty years resides, however and despite exposing ourselves, we will continue denouncing, giving our opinion and above all compiling these excesses, so that one day justice will give each one what corresponds to him.

“When authority presents itself in the guise of organization, it displays such an alluring charm that it can turn communities of free people into totalitarian states.”

Friedrich Von Hayek.
