Either it is meant to be used against political opponents, or he intends to use it in an attempt to pacify the younger generation so an uprising is less likely. Obviously, if crime was any concern to him, he wouldn't send oil and money to places like Cuba and instead use it to pay for more police (and instruct the police he has to actually enforce the laws...although that would never happen since they would have to arrest quite a few of his supporters). |
Unless you, or he or anybody else, actually thinks that videogames cause violence, then the bolded one seems unlikely. Again, this seems less evil genius and more placating politician. And yeah, I do think crime is a big concern to him, because it's his achilles heel politically. Despite the changes he's made to the constitution, he still relies on actual elections, and Venezuela's crime rate is the kind of thing that can sink his support among his traditional supporters.
