Woah, hold on there. I didn't for one second say I supported the likes of Chavez. I said if I had to pick "The Only Thing" holding back the development of South America, it's the meddling of the west (and Central too, IMHO). I actually think Cahvez has some good ideas in theory, they just don't work out well for the people of Venezuela Which shows they are actually bad ideas in reality. Which sounds suspiciously like the old "Communism/Socialism work great in theory, but not in reality"
