Venezuela is also gifted by nature having the large oil reserves.  Rat is still on the menu in Caracas.

Venezuela has a Bolivarian system. As much as some people in the US label California "socialist," by world standards we are still to The Right. Yet another flavor of neoliberalism/neoconservatism.

Venezuela also does not have many (any?) Fortune 50 companies and not very many billionaires.

Do you even listen to your fellow Californians?  They would love to implement a Bolivarian system.  The only reason they haven't is because by and large economic policy is set on the federal level. 

Venezuela doesn't have those companies or billionares because Chavez and Maduro nationalized them and then ran the former owners off.  Should California not have the restraints placed on it by the rest of the country I have no doubt that Governor Moonbeam wouldn't hesitate to do the same.
