After decades of dominating its oil industry, the Venezuelan government is quietly surrendering control to foreign companies in a desperate bid to keep the economy afloat and hold on to power.

The opening is a startling reversal for Venezuela, breaking decades of state command over its crude reserves, the world’s biggest.

The government’s power and legitimacy has always rested on its ability to control its oil fields --- the backbone of the country’s economy — and use their profits for the benefit of its people.

But the nation’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro, in his struggle to retain his grip over a country in its seventh year of a crippling economic crisis, is giving up policies that once were central to its socialist-inspired revolution.

Under Venezuelan law, the state-run oil company must be the principal stakeholder in all major oil projects. But as that company, Petróleos de Venezuela, or Pdvsa, unravels --- under the weight of American sanctions, years of gross mismanagement and corruption — the work is unofficially being picked up by its foreign partners.

Private companies are pumping crude, arranging exports, paying workers, buying equipment and even hiring security squads to protect their operations in a collapsing countryside, according to managers and oil consultants working on the country’s energy projects.

In effect, a stealth privatization is taking place, said Rafael Ramírez, who ran Venezuela’s oil industry for more than a decade before breaking with Mr. Maduro in 2017, in a video address this week.

“Today, Pdvsa doesn’t manage our oil industry, Venezuelans don’t manage it,” said Mr. Ramírez. “In the middle of the chaos generated by the worst economic crisis suffered by the country in its history, Maduro is taking actions to cede, transfer and hand over oil operations to private capital.”

Watch as commies claim "Venezuela isn't really socialist" all the more because of it. Maduro couldn't maintain his iron grip over both politics and the economy so he's giving up the latter.

Venezuela refusing to collapse is like that stubborn cockroach that just wont die. You think that it's done and then it gets back up and limps six inches before rolling over again

So after they let evil Westerners invest billions and fix everything they screwed up, are they just going to re-nationalize it?

This reeks of Zimbabwe "just keeding white man, pls come back and feed us". Or every other form of communism where low-IQ hordes convince themselves they should seize complex systems they couldn't build but somehow think they can maintain…

The full article seems to indicate most of the companies being brought in aren't American. If you wanted White people back to help you, you wouldn't call America -- which isn't White.

Russian, European, and Chinese. Amazing they aren't bringing in their mestizo and afro-indian comrades from Brazil, Honduras, or Haiti lol.

Hope the Russians and Chinese are uncucked enough to realize they're just going to steal everything the second things are working again.
