Who said anything about that?  The Venezuelans need to get government out of the way.  They don't need fake free market capitalism like the USA.  They need actual free markets.  

The problem is that the US is actively trying to overthrow the government of Venezuela so they can swoop in an install their own US friendly regime. The state department today has announced that they want to "force democratic change", a massive oxymoron, and has admitted helping to collapse Venezuela's economy. "Getting the government out of the way" is exactly what the US and European countries want right now in order to reap the spoil's of Venezuela's natural resources, they do not care at all for the Venezuelan people.

I largely agree with you.  However, even if you are 100% correct, there is no realistic argument to be made that Venezuelans will be worse off under a US puppet regime.  Venezuela is a resource rich country.  It has been run completely into the ground by the socialist regime.  That regime must be cast off.  Then maybe the people will have the wherewithal to cast of the puppets that come next.
