- BBC news documentary recorded the coup d’état in the same year Chavez was elected. This was pure luck/chance on the bbc’s part, who heavily argued for Chavez’s government and against the corrupt right wing government of yesteryear.
Conclusion:
He’s not perfect, but he’s much, much better than previous governments and has the balls(one of the minority on the world scene) to tell the USA to back off with its interventionist/expansionist policies.
Dictatorships are built on the backs of the poor. Suckers always fall for it. The Venzuelan govenrment has never been more corrupt than it is now. And, that in itself is a miricle. Not mention the mass exodus of wealth and knowlege leaving the country because they don’t want the government to take it all. It’s a matter of time before the borders are closed. Chavez wants to make Venezuala like the “…happy people of Cuba…”; destitute and starving.
I’ll take my chances living in a western democratic society, thanks. Socialism sucks.
Well what about the policies of providinf FREE education. Fucking hell they are giving the people who get the best scores(in school) a free education specifically training them to be doctors.
On top of this the government has opened MANY new universities!
Shit how draconian can you get?
Anyway it is well known that the upper classes predominantly see the poor as dogs over there. The vast oil reserves were plundered for the benefit of the elite alone, which makes no sense seeing as if they invest in their own people indiscriminately their economy would actually grow(with all the benefits that produces).
Only now is growth and development occurring at the level it needs to be under Chavez’s government. If the PEOPLE themselves vote for him into government wtf has it got to do with us foreigners?
It’s not like they are attacking anyone, murdering people or producing terrorists/WMD.
They know if that happened the USA would intervene very directly.
Think about please in a totally unbiased way…i’m not a socialist by the way.

And now the oil fields are being plundered by Chavez alone. On top of that, povery and crime has never been higher in the country’s history. Compile that with the crushing of free speach and dissenters.
Further compile that with a complete circumvention of government and the urination upon that country’s constitution and you have the makings of a bonafied evil dictator.
There is really no upside to what is happening in Venezuela. What you are falling for is Chavez’s dog and pony show. He is killing that country and nobody can do a thing about it.
