o for god's sake, ace, do some research.

i'll make it easy for you

In the Shadow of the Liberator: Hugo Chávez and the Transformation of Venezuela

agree or not with the overall interpretation in this--or any other--actual research on the question, and you'll see that your basic claims are based, as i said before, on nothing.
dippin's right in that chavez has not done all he claimed he set out to do, but the fact is that the nature of the movement that he represents is not bidness as usual, the modality of doing politics is not bidness as usual, etc...your "interpretation" isn't even consistent with that of the right opposition in venezuela--and typically, you're a connect-the-dots kinda guy--which has the advantage of at least coming from *somewhere*...
