See this part is certainly the public position he presented but the end result is massive povery and income inequality. His family members became billionaires while the lower class became even poorer. So I just don't buy the good intentions argument.

Forbes estimated his wealth at about 2 billion when he died and his daughter is worth twice that now, despite the country suffering even more from poverty. Maduro's family is also extremely wealthy. I don't see any reason to believe the claims he made when the evidence shows he just replaced the upper class with his family and friends.

Im not really defending chavismo. Venezuela is objectively way worse today after Hugo's coup. But I really hate these arm chair leftist radicals who see things black or white. Supporting Palestine DOES NOT MAKE YOU A SAINT or that everything you do is good. Just cause the big capitalist powers of the world oppose Venezuela, doesnt mean Maduro is right.
