Do you have proof they fixed elections? International observers were there and found nothing out of the ordinary. In fact Bush's election was more questioned than Chavez'for the procedure. And what if he nationalized the oil industry? It was a great move considering it helped him reduce poverty by almost 30% and increase literacy for almost 2 million people instead of foreign companies taking 99% of the oil profits.kuraimen
He stole a company by military force and used it as his own personal piggy bank. That's corruption at it's apex.

Source? Fox is not a credible source by the way. And even if he did stole a company to take 30% of people in his country out of poverty and teach how to read and write to 2 million children instead of a couple of foreign fat CEOs wasting that money on new yachts then it was worth it.Source?

None of that justifies his actions.

Nationalizing is NOT stealing. Nationalizing is nationalizing. If the government bought the company THAT'S nationalizing.

Yes, it is. When a government takes over an industry that was once in private hands, that is stealing.
None of this even touches on the corruption that occured once Chavez did take over the oil industry.

Did you know that the oil industry of Venezuela was nationalized more than two decades before Chavez came into power? I bet you didn't.

He's not deserving of it. Not with the disgusting views he's held in the past.

So because he "stole" a company that negates all the good he did? c'mon sonThere's a reason he's one of the most controversial men this century. It isn't as black and white as you make it seem.

At least you are being open about. Lets you both not waste each other's time.Exactly the type of response I expected in this thread:
The usual Left-leaning users say that he helped poor people and his people loved him.
The usual Right-leaning users say that he is a brutal dictator who fixed elections.
The truth is probably somewhere in between.

To be fair I think this bit in your article was worse "In recent weeks, his government has also hounded top rivals, stripping the mayor of Caracas of financing for the city budget".[QUOTE="Aljosa23"]

The US doesn't give a sh*t about brutal dictators as long as those dictators are friendly to US interests.

You're sometimes okay. But I can never tell when you're being serious, or when you're trolling.
He normally acts all childish like that... and then pretends other people don't like discussion :roll: Piece of work this guy...kuraimen
