Is he really that much of a political influence in the region? I know he is in his own mind. I really did not think he was that big a player in South American politics.

Jan 11th, 2013 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chavez was (?) is (?) the secular prophet of a manufactured belief-system ... like Muhammed or Jesus in the religious province, some would say.
What belief-system? He called it Bolivarism - not communism, not capitalism, not dictatorship, not democracy (perhaps best described by what it is not rather than what it is).
As elsewhere in the history of the Continent, a powerful leader-turned-demagogue distributed largesse to the poor and this translated into votes.
To the gullible Western eye, Votes = Democracy.
How gullible; how sad.
