I hope they get a proper government now but I'm sure it'll probably just be more of the same. | ||

At my place at work, there are like 1-2 Chavistas, and well, they started "attacking" the rest of us because we said that was just stupid. They specially attacked me since I have traveled to the US and well, they "hate" the US cause they killed Chavez.. lol, some people are just plain ignorant. I wish there was a minimal education requirement to vote. That'd make things much much better for everyone here. | ||

He did help the poor but not because of the goodness of his heart or because it was his ideal, he did so because the poor would reelect him, look at Uruguay's president if you want to see a true leftist. He fucked over just about everyone he could while still being able to be reelected. That makes him an amazing politician but hardly a good and noble leader. | ||

Haha, that's a good one. You might call him Castro's puppet. He always did what they told him to do, and they were part of all this "scheme" to keep his death secret and have Maduro on the power as long as possible. Blah. | ||

Not to mention that he gladly brought in Chinese imperialist influence in South America. For example, he allowed 40 percent of the Venezuelan railroads to be privatized by China. | ||

We can debate whether it is okay or not, my point is that he is unbelievably hypocritical and is obsessed with anti-Americanism and anti-NATO. We are talking about a self-proclaimed socialist and Maoist on one occasion who allows foreign privatization. Also to give a direct answer, I think it would be horrible if the railroads were privatized by any nation. *Sigh* This man is worse than George Galloway. | ||

Hell, water in my country is owned by Spanish companies. And yes, it sucks. It's expensive, and service gets frequent interrumptions, plus customer service sucks balls. And my country gets nothing out of its own water. Horrible. | ||

I guess you could use the same description when talking about a lot of the leaders in this world, both in developed and developing countries. | ||

Over here in Sydney our rail system is so appalling and has probably already hit rock bottom in terms of reliability, service, train quality, and cost. A foreign ownership might actually be good if they start downsizing all the flab. | ||

Because he was pretty much doing the same thing as any other politician (our Swedish government included) But in my eyes he stood above the most due to his social programs and promotion of equality within Venezuela. define it all you want, in my eyes, he did take a stand against the bad USA. I'm not sure what the point is here. I've never claimed there aren't other politicians as bad/worse than him. I just don't like the aura of righteousness that sorrounds him, since I find it to be entirely undeserved. | ||

Anti-americans might seem a little more legitimate if they actually offered something that was better than or at least equal to american democracy/capitalism instead of just pounding at the lectern. There wasn't anything stellar about his economic policies and he was responsible for high inflation, high crime rate, and failure to meaningfully close the wealth gap. | ||

Hopefully this will change and Venezuela will start following the path of Brazil instead of staying in the muck. | ||

The president of the Senate should convoque for new elections in 30days. And then we should have a new President. ;p. the VP can't take his place since he is not elected by popular vote, but by the president elected. | ||
