I support Chavism, and the goals of the bolivarian revolution obviously. But I'm not a "Chavista", its a framework for Venezuela but obviously not for me.

2019-01-03 04:37:03 UTC  

also in the 2 Coup d'etats Chávez organized in 1992, he killed between 100-300 Civilians by cross fire

Well, the legacy of Chavez can be broken down to a number of different aspects. First, there are the goals; roughly speaking these can be summarised in the "Communal State" concept which Chavez outlined as the end point of the "Bolivarian process". Chavez (and esp. his successor) have been incredibly vague about this process and what exactly it entails, but there are a number of recurring themes:

a) democratic institutions strengthened via increased importance of the communal councils
b) popular initiative strengthened via the increased prevalence of worker-cooperative economics
c) the gradual realisation of "socialism in the 21st century" via these two methods which will converge and result in the "Communal State"

And for all their current troubles, the PSUV was making progress. Inflation rates were at historic lows, poverty came down very very hard, HDI went up, education levels went up, life expectancy went up and GDP went up rather nicely. Numerous cooperatives were launched, communal organisations get increased authority and in general the trend was up.

Then came the 2010s and, with it, the age of hardship.

2019-01-03 04:39:34 UTC  

they are STUPID AS HELL, they are Fanatical debotes to Chávez

2019-01-03 04:39:41 UTC  

you asked me for the legacy of the Chavez period and I gave you it with context of what I know of it, its aims and its most general outlook (which, due to inability to read or speak spanish, is limited)

2019-01-03 04:39:44 UTC  

AND PLENTY OF THEM BELIEVE THAT CHÁVEZ IS A GOD

2019-01-03 04:39:49 UTC  

I'M NOT KIDDING

2019-01-03 04:39:58 UTC  

THEY EVEN BUILT A CHAPPEL IN HIS NAME

2019-01-03 04:40:13 UTC  

It is called "Capilla Santo Hugo Chávez"

2019-01-03 04:40:15 UTC  

I'm not a Chavista though, you might not want to project your preconceptions based on experiences in your country upon me

2019-01-03 04:40:37 UTC  

I tend to think that Chavism is *too soft*

2019-01-03 04:40:43 UTC  

soft?

2019-01-03 04:40:54 UTC  

it destroyed my country in 20 years

2019-01-03 04:40:56 UTC  

it didn't liquidate the capitalist sector of the economy, it did very little to annex it

2019-01-03 04:41:00 UTC  

it did

2019-01-03 04:41:14 UTC  

you guys keep saying that it destroyed your country in 20 years but you have absolutely no argument for it; this is pure propaganda point
