I have been watching some Venezuelan documentaries about the elections, Chavez, ect and man this is interesting.

He was thrown out of office in a coupe where the wealthy business leaders and military generals took control of the government / country. Then the common soldiers decide to rebel against the new government and its generals and retake the country and get Chavez back into power which they do.
I cant imagine the tension between the Chavez govt and the wealthy figure heads of the country.
On top of all this I find it crazy how much support Chavez gets from the people of Venezuela. And how they think socialism is the answer to their problems. Do they not realize they are one of the poorest if not they poorest (people wise) and dangerous countries in South America? He shits on USA and capitalism yet the quality of life in the US is a thousand times better. Venezuela is something like the 4th largest exporter of oil in the world. No excuse for why their country is still in shambles. Chavez has had plenty of time to get things turned around and hasnt.
Interesting stuff.
