The oil price is a relatively new problem and it's used to push the narrative that capitalist countries have conspired to destroy the economy of Venezuela.
In truth Venezuela has been an impoverished dictatorship at least since the early 2000s.
Look for news from 2005 and you'll see Chavez closing newspapers, expropriating businesses and land, imprisoning opposition members, etc.
There was no starvation yet at the time but most of the current problems were already in place.

Finally we can do away with this fiction that capitalist countries have conspired to destroy the economy of Venezuela!
capitalism is such a "new" problem.
