Venezuela sells "socialist" coffee in Venezuelan cafes.

Recently, there is a particularly interesting phenomenon in the Venezuelan Cafe, a state-run coffee chain in Venezuela: the store provides customers with two contrastive price lists. Each kind of coffee here has two prices of "socialism" and "capitalism". In this special way, cafes are intended to show customers the disadvantages of a free market and the benefits of regulating the economy.

At a Venezuelan Cafe in the center of Caracas, Venezuela's capital, the "socialist" price of a large cup of coffee on the menu is 2.5 Bolivar. In addition, the menu lists the "capitalist" price of the coffee sold elsewhere at 5 Bolivar (7.74 yuan). It is said that this is not only to provide discounted coffee to Venezuelans, but also to promote the left-wing politics of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

The cafe's practice has won the support of many Venezuelan citizens, and the queue of guests has been extended to the road. Many people say they would be happier if the cafe offered more cheap coffee. "the cafe is a symbol of national policy and reflects the country's efforts to eliminate exploitation of the poor," said Kristobar Isturitz, a 70-year-old interior decorator who savoured coffee with friends on the patio. "

At the same time, critics argue that the Venezuelan Cafe and other similar measures are populist gimmicks that mask some of Venezuela's deep-seated economic problems. (Zhu Shun)
