Why won't they ever learn?
Of course it was politically motivated: the people don't want to die of starvation and know what a bunch of Chavista arseholes (who robbed the election) they have in charge of them.
Aug 01st, 2015 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0It will only get worse.
Where oh where is “we are all Chavez” Stevie?
Aug 01st, 2015 - 12:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What kind of mental illness is it that would logically allow the thought process to support regimes of this ilk?
I really can't wait until it happens in Argentina.
The hyperinflation should kick in any time now
Then we'll see some fun times in BA.

Have fun with your food riot, comrades :)

So much for “we are Chavez Stevie”
Have you all noticed that “Wow !” has become the brASSHOLE's favourite word ?

@6, Seja honesto seu pateta, você não conhece a VZ, e muito menos os EUA...

Oh dear, never mind, eh?
I wonder where stevie is and not posting......whomever he might be posting as this week.
Aug 01st, 2015 - 07:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Stevie will tell u all was well while Chavez was following his own ideology and policies - suddenly it nosedived when Maduro took control- supposedly.
Aug 01st, 2015 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This the Chavez legacy - an unsustainable system
Chavez destroyed Venezuela's civic society. It is this and not just elections that helps a country develop and keeps governments honest (as much as is possible).
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 06:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Chavez is the root cause of all Venezuela's current problems. For though there was poverty and economic deficiencies when he came to power, he didn't fix them.
Chavez came to power almost 17 years ago. The only legacy left is now chavismo.
Chavez did not destroy anything. Who destroyed was the corruption sponsored by Chevron, Exxon and other Western oil companies.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 10:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hugo Chavez just put a stop to the theft of oil and his way tried to do the right things. The ruling class that benefited from corruption revolted against him. Only him left the alternative to toughen the game. So the US, oil companies and members of the ruling class attempted to overthrow democracy through a coup at the beginning of the century.
But as I said earlier Venezuela has always been a very strong country and the people took to the streets in search of the liberation of their leader. Democracy won the United States and the corrupt oligarchy.
@15 You are such a fool. That is what Chavez said to get elected. You swallowed it hook, line and sinker. It is not what he did. He just stole the money or gave it away to buddies like the Kirchners so they would get elected. His ONLY interest was money and power for Chavez, not the people.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0You could argue that the wealthy Venezuelans created an environment for someone like Chavez to get elected. He told the poor what they wanted to hear. The problem is, he delivered very little to the poor - just enough to keep them hooked - and stole the resources of Venezuela for his own personal gain.
As long as there are fools like you, Brasileiro, there will always be room for exploitation by greedy despots like Chavez.
Venezuela is stated to have 297,740 million barrels of oil in its proven reserves. That compares to 6,900 million barrels for the UK (Scotland). I wonder if Scotland has considered this?
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Looks like #15, Brasshole, has a new driver today; the usual one can't string more then a few sentences of bad english (+ youtube clip) together. Too funny.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 11:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brasileiro is not a person, it is a philosophy, a consensus among Brazilians to show their worldview.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is not only one but several.

@19 Haha. We picked that up a long time ago but thanks for confirming. Obviously you don't represent the majority of Brazilians, just a few malcontents with a love of kleptocracies.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 01:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We are absolutely sure that we represent not only the thinking of the Brazilian government, as well as the will of the majority of the Brazilian people.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And we know that you represent the Western with your crude and vile thinking.
@22 Do you all meet in a basement to bitch about developed countries and then vent your indignity on this website?
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You sound just like TTT who used to claim he was part of a gang. Can't you speak for yourselves?
What you call gang, we call home. Perhaps the West think that those who think different are criminals.
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is an empty concept of democracy. I surprrende when the West call themselves Democrats. You are not Democrats. You are poor capitalists who live in a comfort zone that every day gets closer and squeezed.
You are the Gaza Strip of the rich!

Aug 02nd, 2015 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Every so often Chileans are asked how was it possible for decent people to have allowed left wing radicals to be rounded up and unfortunately sent to brutal detention centers. Reading your comments reminds me why...
@23 Haha. Is that what you tell yourselves to feel better about the mess of a country you live in?
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0FYI A gang is a group of people not a building.
Falklands Islands is a town of Tierra Del Fuego or Patagonia?
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 03:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I never understand correctly Spanish and English.
Maybe that's because you do not want I here....I do not Know.

@26. Let me help you...
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia belong to the Falkland Islands.
@19 brASSHOLE
Aug 02nd, 2015 - 10:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So 'brasileiro' is not a person ?? well you got that right.....if you are a piece of shit, you cannot be a person.....just like your 9-fingered hero, “ o grande merda-mor”.
@21 brASSHOLE
“We are absolutely sure that we represent not only the thinking of the Brazilian government, as well as the will of the majority of the Brazilian people”.
You and only 7% of the Brazilians still believe the shit you gobble up. The majority, 93%, have either long known or more recently, come to realize what shit the PT is.....I sincerely hope you never change your mind, so that when Lullu's cancer metastasizes you can grieve and we can celebrate. Think I'll invite my friends around and open a bottle of Chateau Petrus ...
@26 brASSHOLE
Why do you joke about your ignorance ? oops, maybe you aren't joking, you really ARE stupid...
@27 Frank
Now you've really got him confused...

Aug 03rd, 2015 - 05:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please consider placing my name on the invitation list as traveling to Brazil for a glass of Petrus would well be worth it...
@16 Elaine Excellent comment. It seems Brasileiro doesn't have the mental capacity to understand what you were trying to explain to him.
Aug 03rd, 2015 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@29 Chicureo,
Aug 03rd, 2015 - 07:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0correction to my # 28......quite some some time that I had some Petrus, that confused the name with “Chateau” Latour.......but either will do to celebrate Lulla's send-off to hell. Small price to pay for such a gift !!
