re: NYT article about Venezuela

Madura should be able to run the country with his background. He is former bus driver.

Some countries elect community organizers. Both better than business acumen.

Not long ago Venezuela was the shining gem of South America. Now a dictatorship.

Chavez was a hero of the left wing

What do you mean "was"? You'll still find a collection of the Hollywood left that venerate Chavez, and still support what's going on in Venezuela. Danny Glover is not getting too old for this shite.

Here's an excerpt from Glover's Wikipedia page:
"During the beginning of the 2014 Venezuela Protests, Glover shared his support to Chávez's successor, President Nicolas Maduro, calling members of his government "the stewards" of Venezuela's democracy. Glover also told Venezuelan government supporters to go fight for the sovereignty of Maduro's government."

These are the people who think Che Guevara was a hero.
