What Venezuelans loyal to Chavez say about Venezuela

www.aporrea.org

In Spanish, but if viewed in Chrome can be read in English. Aporrea is a website utterly devoted to the Revolution that Chavez brought in 1999. A Venezuela version of DU, if you will.

No spin from various "GringoLandia" ass-kissers of Chavismo. Just real, devoted acolytes of Bolivarian Socialism who offer their opinions on what is going on in Venezuela and what the actual situation on the ground is from the viewpoint of loyal Chavistas.

An odd dichotomy To listen to and read the likes of "investigative journalists" Greg Palast and Max Blumenthal (offered by others in this forum), you would think that Venezuela is a workers Utopia. A land of plenty, where the Chavistas provide all to everyone! But for Chavistas LIVING THERE, it is a life of deprivation and hardship.

I wonder who is telling the truth? The people who live there and survive on a minimum wage of 16 cents per day, or visiting Useful Idiots with an agenda?
