| Shido said: Well, as a venezuelan I will tell you my view about chavez, chavez has done a lot of good things like rising and keeping the oil price at high record breaking levels, plus, they are now earning a lot of money from taxes, the nationalation of a lot of privates companies. The bad part is there are a lot of killing, the hospitals are on ruins(my father is a doctor, I'm very well informed about the hospitals status), you can't buy dollars freely, there is almost a civil war between chavez supporters and the opposition. About the cubans doctors, they earn 4 times the salary of a national doctor and they are mostly bad doctors. But for the most part people don't like chavez because he talks like a non-stop machine, he insult people, he is just a very violent person. I mean, just look at the Governor of my state:
Sorry if it didn't make that much sense but I'm half-asleep. They are about to release the offcial results.

Sorry to tell you mate, but Chavez has NOTHING to do with the oil price going up. Thatis based entirely on mideast strife and high demand in the Chinese and American markets. Chavez has no control over oil-price.
As for the nationalising of private companies, Chavez has made Venezuela a capitalist's nightmare (intentionally), however this will be devastating for the nation long-term if he isn't removed soon. There are many surviving socialist/communist political nations, but there is not a single prosperous nation on the planet that has a socialist ECONOMY!!! For those of you that will jump at that, China has a capitalist economy and a communist political environment, and Cuba is not exactly prosperous.
This man is using oil-prices to create the illusion of proficient economic management through mass-spending, but if the oil-price drops the country's economy has no method of bailing itself out of catastrophy.
