all the evidence you need that Chavez was bad is that all of his supporters are living in the first world and are largely white as gently caress whereas everyone who had to live under him, regardless of their socioeconomic status, sees him as a demon and celebrated when he died. it's good to stand up to US imperialism but not everyone who stands up to us imperialism is good. it's also good to work at a suicide hotline but that doesn't mean we have to praise and celebrate Ted Bundy. the us certainly didn't like him and probably tried to take him down but the CIA wasn't forcing him to pay extravagant salaries for no work to his buddies or use the apparatus of state to protect narco traffickers.

i never knew any Venezuelans until I moved here a little while ago and since then I've tried to talk politics with them because I'm trying to start a local DSA chapter. they're all leftists pretty much (that is, the ones with any political affiliation at all, like most people most of them don't care much) but they loving hate hate HATE Chavez and socialism is a dirty word to them, so thanks you fucker I hope you're roasting in hell

i posit that handing over huge swathes of your country to drug cartels and pocketing tons of money as the nation descends into lawlessness is, in fact, bad chavez bad because he hosed up Venezuela's economy, but chavez also bad for looting his treasury and unleashing enormous violence on his people
