Believe it or not, there is a whole other world outside of Cambodia and South East Asia, be it people or politics, frustrations or football, this is the place to talk about it.
Hugo Chavez legacy:
Although everyone says he was well intentioned, his policies were the demise of Venezuela's economy. He tried to do too many things too fast, put all his eggs into one basket, oil: and felt that socialism, which has failed way too many times, would be the country's savior.
Chavez is dead but his hate filled ideology lives on in the hearts of millions.
I'm afraid that you're wrong on that.
The only 'hate-filled' ideology comes from the CIA, and other subsidiaries.
Chavez was all for LOVE and Venezuelan-controlled assets, as opposed to the Coca-Cola company's thirst for cheap sugar.
And the 'Standard Oil Company's thirst for cheap oil.
And ...
...and after taking big things from large corporations, Hugo Chavez found that wasn't satisfying enough so he took things from his political enemies, and finding that was not enough he started taking anything from anyone as he pleased (and often did it on live TV) until there was nobody left to steal things from and nobody else to blame for his corruption and complete mismanagement. Edit: To be more accurate, like in Russia, it's pure kleptocracy.
Despite their best efforts, the inept CIA couldn't hold a candle to the destruction of Venezuela's economy as was expertly carried out by Hugo Chavez and his cronies. But hey, that's LOVE, man. Love, socialism-style.

He is going to try pull an Assad and try to brave the storm but he isn't remotely as intelligent or liked by his people as Assad was. Also Maduro's opposition doesn't look like a group of beheading fanatics.
I don't know how long can he hold on from the last polls 80%+ of the population thinks that he should just leave, especially after the blackout, not sure how many want Guido though.
I wonder who is going to end up owning Venezuela? Unless they nationalize everything again, or some other kind "Big brother" helps them out, it looks like it will be one of these two? Beware big loans/partnerships they can come back to haunt you.
Nicaragua, Venezuela, Iran (The so-called Shah), Panama, Ecuador. The list goes on. The manipulative scum that consider themselves the 'Shadow Government' has to go.
Banking and industrial cartels, you will not have any further control of the sugar, oil and other commodities you crave so much.
You shall be defeated. The Jackals are sick and about to die.
The World (read USA) Bank is sick & corrupt and has so much to account for that its continuation is simply untenable.
The same can be said of a number of institutions...

'History is a set of lies agreed upon.' Attributed to Napoleon
That sounds an awfully lot like a manifesto! Someone has to supply the commodities and the governments that have them end up losing when they try to nationalize. Either they find they don't have the know how, or they lose shares in the market when someone else takes their place.
Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaido is a tremendous leader working hard to free his country from the grips of a socialist dictatorship. Today, President Donald J. Trump welcomed his wife, Interim First Lady Fabiana Rosales, to the White House.
Venezuela’s story is unfathomable. Once the wealthiest country in South America, years of massive wealth confiscation, suppressed free speech, and rigged elections have brought the country to the brink of ruin. Today, nearly 90 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty. In 2018, hyperinflation in Venezuela exceeded a staggering 1 million percent.
“Everything's broken,” President Trump said today of the Maduro regime’s destruction. “They have no water . . . The lights are out.”
First Lady Rosales thanked the United States today for its leadership on the world stage. In January, Venezuela’s National Assembly invoked its constitutional right to declare Guaido, President of the Assembly, as the country’s legitimate leader. Within 30 minutes, America was the first nation in the world to officially recognize President Guaido.
“To see [President Guaido] and his courageous wife stand before the crowds and take that oath of office under the constitution of Venezuela was inspiring not just to people across our hemisphere and across this country, but all over the world,” Vice President Mike Pence said before today’s bilateral meeting between U.S. and Venezuelan officials. In the days that followed that oath, the Maduro regime unleashed untold horror—blocking humanitarian aid, killing innocent civilians, and burning medical supplies.
“Eighty percent of the population in Venezuela has no power. They are trying to break our morale,” Ms. Rosales said today. “They want to submerge us in eternal darkness. But let me tell you that there is light, and the light is here.”
America and the rest of the world are watching closely. The Venezuelan people do not stand alone.
