2 reasons;
Firstly, communists tend to be shitty parents because the focus of most of our lives tends to be on communism and social issues rather than parenting, and
Secondly, regression to the mean. Statistically you are just going to get more non communist children than communist children as there are more libs than commies by several orders of magnitude.
Idk if you wanted an actual answer but here's one anyways.
he talked vaguely about Maduro “mismanaging” the Venezuelan economy even though the food shortages were the direct result of the US sanctions and also the private sector (i.e. the part of the economy Maduro can’t control)
That's not entirely true, like, the sanctions played a major role but only after the crisis had already become severe. The first sanctions weren't incredibly heavy. Also yes, they were indeed a result of the private sector but it's not true that he has no power over the private sector. The price control thing was his attempt to stop what was happening by exerting force on the private sector, and it was also the wrong way to go about it. There were many very stupid moves by Maduro at many points.
I mean yeah it is a bad move because of course they're gonna do that lol like what do you expect would happen?
It's a fight, the point is to not make stupid moves like that. If you're in a war and you decide to have no one guarding your camp during the night and you get surprise attacked while everyone is asleep, sure, they're the ones who killed you but it was a dumb idea to have no one guarding the camp in the first place because of course they were going to do that. That wasn't even the worst really, at that point it was already a bad situation all around. And it's not really a hindsight thing because he had a number good advisors who told him what he shouldn't do but he did it anyways. You either take the power away from the private sector and get the supply chain in your hands so that they can't do that (the best option) or if you are not at the point where you can do that then you have to at least somewhat play by their rules until you can do that, or it will just make things worse, which it did. But again, at that point it was already a shit situation because of a number of panic moves.
Pete's dad, Kamala's dad, Liam's dad. Why do communist dads always raise liberal sons?

it's because he is an actual historian and real-life conflicts often involve both sides being pretty shitty

I've heard about the Venezuela private sector hoarding food but not about the exporting, where can I read more about that?

I was half-joking but I like the answer and the enthusiasm.

Marx raised a bunch of commies though
