Chavez and the Venezuela Revolution

On the constitutional referendum in Venezuela.

I want to say that I had hope for Chavez. The reforms he has pushed through the government of Venezuela are necessary for ameliorating poverty in Venezuela. They were very people centric. Redistributing wealth is part of Chavez’ overall programme for putting people in charge of the country. And I applauded him, even more so perhaps after watching the documentary “The Revolution will not be televised.”

But I am a democrat also, and activities of late have made me question Chavez’ democratic credentials. One of my largest critiques of Cuba has been that there has not been an election where the people got to decide if they wanted Castro to remain.
Chavez in Venezuela was setting himself up to exist in a similar universe.
I was scared for the Venezuelan revolution yesterday morning.
In summary, I would like to applaud the people of Venezuela for getting it right, where the people of Cuba did not.
