can someone tell me why hugo chavez believes capitalism destroyed life on mars?

Because he likes to say random stuff like that to "make a point", oblivious to the fact that he is making a fool out of himself.

What is the general sentiment about Chavez in your country?

This is a difficult question. The country   is divided approximately into 3 groups: Those who love Chavez, those who hate him and those who hate Chavez and the Opposition.

Most of those who support Chavez come from a poor background, because they see an opportunity to live a better life with him on charge and despise the "social-democrats" who governed 40 years before Chavez was elected president.

Those who do not support Chavez would be divided into:

-Those who long for the old days (which I do not support)

-Those who want an alternative to both Chavez and the "social-democrats".

But the real problem lies in the education of the people. It's a cultural thing and everyone likes to point fingers and say that it's Chavez fault that we are in this situation. I would like to think as him as a consequence and not as a cause, but it's a simplistic view.
