OK, allow me to get this straight. Venezuela is a "Banana Republic", There was "Massive corruption in the Chavez government", but there he was "democratically elected"? So this guy in a corrupt country with a corrupt regime got elected and it was 100% on the up & up


As for the economy....5 Ways Chavez Has Destroyed the Venezuelan Economy - ABC News

There's corruption in every economy. There are corrupt politicians in the United States and the government is entirly corrupted by corporate money but they still manage to hold democratic elections. So why can't Venezuela.

Seeing as, like every other fucking subject on the planet, I've forgotten more about Venezuala than you know, let's look at the link you link. We'll go through it step by step and make it a learing experience for you. Firstly, they used a graph! See the end of growth and subsequent huge drop in GDP that started in 2000, one year after Chavez took office. What caused that? Why do you think it isn't mentioned in the article?
