An armored National Guard vehicle runs over a protester in Caracas on Wednesday, May 3. The protester, 22-year-old Pedro Michell Yaminne, survived, his mother told CNN. Interior and justice minister Nestor Reverol told reporters that the "lamentable" incident was under investigation. He said that moments before Yaminne was run over, demonstrators hurled a Molotov cocktail at the armored vehicle, opened the side door and "brutally assaulted" the driver.

He's saying that no one shyts on the concept of captialism when countries that have that type of market fail but everyone always points to Venezuela whenever they want to criticize socialist aspects that the US should enact (single payer health insurance, "free" college, etc.)

I believe it's saying that capitalist like to point to food shortage and unrest as staples of Socialism, all the while ignoring capitalist countries with food shortage and unrest.
