Viva Venezuela: Fighting for Socialism (full documentary)

15. One thing I can say about internet reading; it certainly sharpens your senses

of who to listen to and who to ignore. (I dislike the word 'whom' in most conversational discourse.)

I do try to look at the overall picture. Castro wouldn't have lasted as long as he has in Cuba if not for the widespread popular support of the masses. Hugo Chavez was too highly beloved of the poor to have been what the other poster describes. Of course people who had to give up some of their ill gotten gains won't appreciate it, and others in the same category worry about it happening to them. Or if they have nothing at all, they may even be so addicted to the fantasy of wealth that they still feel threatened. No, far better and safer to worship the rich and hope they'll reward you with a crumb or two!
