hugo chavez is a cruel and petty dictator, allocating his nation’s oil funds to the public interest of his people in the hopes of securing reelection in part because he’s been a good steward of the public wealth and worthy of the voters’ trust instead of just owning them personally because god and british diplomats vested absolute power in his person

when i was looking up chavez stuff yesterday i kept finding articles scolding him for “buying votes” by: building houses and feeding the starving. idk i don’t think it counts as “buying votes” so much as “doing his fucking job”
