re: #86 thedopefishlives

I truly don’t understand all the Hugo Chavez love. The man was a brutal tyrant.

Due to this current kerfluffle I went and read the History of Venezuela section in Wikipedia. To simplify, it’s a fairly complex mess. From that I’m not surprised that Chavez is viewed by a wide spectrum of judgements. Some people value certain pieces of his legacy more than other pieces - or are more willing to accept certain foibles more than others are.
