A great speech by a man who genuinely loved his country and the whole of Latin America.

[@antoniot2510]

He left the country a mess.

[@procrastinator6902]

Venezuela's problems are all their (leaders's) own, starting with Chavez.. Unsustainable socialist policies, CADIVI, overreliance on imports, drastic decreases in local production, and their refusal to use currency besides their own (no foreign lender wants debt and imports paid with a worthless bolivar, which has no value to anyone except Venezuelans) are the top reasons Venezuela has dropped to the status of failed state. Blaming America is just an easy and convenient excuse, tho they have absolutely nothing to do with Venezuela failing.

[@procrastinator6902]

I meant blaming capitalism, rather. Capitalism would have prevented the mess their in.

Peace love and unity. Democracy is not a perfect system but it’s historically the only systems that has lifted billions of people out of poverty. It’s as clear as looking at the standard of living of Americans vs the rest of the world and if you’ve never been here I suggest you look for your self. Like any country there’s poverty but the poverty line here is 31 times higher then around the world

I did not know Hugo Chavez was such an outstanding speaker, dare I say even better than Barack Obama, though that's whom watching him made me think of. How did Venezuela not develop economically under this seemingly ardent and passionate man's very long leadership, considering they have the biggest oil reserve in the world?

No estoy de acuerdo con el sometimiento causado por Chavez a los ciudadanos y ciudadanas de Venezuela que merecen vivir democráticamente.. A Chavez lo conocí en tiempos donde su aspecto físico era muy similar al del video.. el encuentro sucedió en Buenos Aires.. antes que fuera presidente de su país.. fue muy interesante la charla y lamentablemente sus promesas se cumplieron porque yo me demostré educadamente en desacuerdo con muchos de sus ideales.. hubo uno de sus puntos que le costo la vida y ese punto fue el rencor que sentía hacia USA y dicho país reacciono ante ese rencor luego de haber sido insultado ofensivamente en extremo por Hugo..Muchos sabemos que sucedió con la salud de Hugo. Luego de aquel encuentro nunca más lo encontré en persona y paso a ser un recuerdo guardado en el olvido..hasta que luego de escuchar muchas noticias sobre Hugo Chaves comencé a revivir la memoria de aquel día..todo comenzó a tener sentido y el Chavez que aprecia por todos lados en largas horas de discursos era el mismo Chavez que me dijo "recuerda lo que te digo hoy ..sere el presidente de Venezuela".. el cambio físico fue fenomenal y luego de interiorisarme por las cosas que fue diciendo a lo largo de su vida que eran iguales a las que alguien me hacia dicho que haría comenzó a mirar todas sus fotos de vida y pude reconocer a esa persona de rasgos faciales tan particulares..tenia unos ojos muy pequeño que llamaron mucho mi atención al igual que sus fosas nasales y sus orejas..el sobre peso que sufrió luego despisto todas mis posibilidades de reconocer quien era.. . Estados Unidos no soporto la falta de respeto de Chavez y termino del modo que termino y no creo que USA merezca ser culpado de nada puesto que si se defendió de algo fue de su honor. Sin Estados Unidos el mundo seria controlado por dictaduras brutales y los derechos humanos no existirían y la esclavitud sometería a toda la humanidad..el mundo es un sitio más seguro cuando los tiranos están lejos ..Chavez se dedico a enriquecerse con el dinero de todos los ciudadanos de Venezuela.. El dinero de sus hijas tendría que ser confiscado. Democracia para toda Venezuela y todo país sometido a la dictadura de cualquier tipo. Venezuela Libre ! VIVA USA!

Romel don’t forget the history of Venezuela. They were the richest country in Latin America prior to Chavez. Socialism is a failed economic system that Venezuelans unfortunately accepted and it robbed them of their riches. Meantime, Chavez’s heirs are worth billions.

[@ricardoperez8879]

US sanctions crippled Venezuela and made their oil worthless. THAT is what caused the Venezuelan economy to recess which led to hyperinflation and a increase in cost of goods. BEFORE the US imposed those sanctions, Venezuela was actually doing pretty good for itself. One of the more prosperous nations in Latin America. You have to blame US foreign policy for those lines...not Chavez. Please educate yourself before leaving sarcastic and factually incorrect comments

[@ripper021_py]

@@ricardoperez8879 if "doing great" for you means having your private company seized by the government then ok, besides that, you can't just repeat the "Cuban embargo" with Venezuela as an excuse, you can't just ignore that you have to queue for food on a modern age. I'm from a 3rd world country that is still fighting left-wing guerillas, yeah my country is poor and corrupt and we still have everything to do, but we receive venezuelans and despite the setbacks they appreciate we are not a socialist country.
