whats your hot take plutonis

He honestly did as good as an anti-revolutionary job as he could and revitalized South America's leftism which sweeped the continent for a good while before the US and the local Oligarchies struck back with a loving vengeance. The fact he WASN'T the purge-happy psychopath that most corporate/US-backed media paint him actually hampered him since the Venezuelan elites did their best to kneecap the country enough so they can take it back and turn it into an american satrapy like Colombia.
