The only chance the poor and the dispossessed of that country have is for the revolution to survive. They will be struggling with all their might to preserve it...and the alternative to preserving it is to have the Bain model imposed on that country through international financial pressure(or through the imposition of Capriles, a man who is pretty much the Mitt Romney of Venezuela).

A man may be dead, but the people fight on.

Tell you what, pack your bags and go stand in line at the airport for 3 days (because of the sequester) then fly to Venezuela and go show your solidarity by living there.

He is a complicated man, but one who accomplished much good. There are those here though who still regard him as murderous dictator.

Yeah a bunch of freeper trolls no doubt.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

How much solidarity can basement dwellers and disability recipients give?
I'm betting not as much as a single bag of Cheetos wings it's way to the revolution.

Like almost all socialist experiments, Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution" was pointless and harmful. It has left Venezuela with a basket-case economy. Venezuela's currency, the bolivar, suffers from 20% inflation and has been devalued five times in a decade. Chavez increased economic equality by spreading the poverty around. His attempts to promote nutrition through price controls resulted in food shortages and malnutrition. He spent millions on unfinished or never started public works projects. Chavez kept Venezuela afloat by exploiting the guaranteed income from the nationalized oil industry, which accounted for over half of government revenue. Nevertheless, he ran up massive budget deficits and increased foreign debt holdings, principally by China.

Yeah that socialist shit worked really well uh DUmmies?

So now that the personality of their cult of personality is dead what happens next?

Is anyone really going to pretend Maduro is some indispensabe heir to the legacy with all the charisma and aptitude they pretend Chavez held?

Maduro was chosen to be a Yes-man who wouldn't eclipse his boss...his sort always are.

Meanwhile, Capriles -- who in the American spectrum would be a New England liberal -- was vilified mercilessly last time around and was fiercely opposed to Chavez's incompetence but he remains a figure quite capable of winning in the upcoming election...which he has been preparing for.

I think the next few months will be instructive because the cult of personality around Obama follows a similar historical framing narrative arc (  :-) ) and we need to capitalize on lessons within it especially as we do not currently have a popular figure of our own but we can at least watch the reactions of the little tyrants as they try to cope with their losses.

Dammit, that was my very first thought....I'd like to add, "Don't even think about coming back".

Chavez's grim legacy

Venezuela’s economy is one of his greatest casualties. The Fraser Institute’s latest Economic Freedom of the World report ranks Venezuela as the least free economy of 144 nations studied. The inflation rate is among the highest in the world.

The concrete facts are grimmer still: The country suffers from chronic shortages of electricity and basic goods. Its roads, bridges and other infrastructure are literally falling apart after years of neglect, while Venezula’s industrial and agricultural capacity has been decimated by repeated expropriations and nationalizations.

The country now imports 70 percent of its food, while oil accounts for 95 percent of its export revenues. The currency was devalued by 32 percent after a government spending spree leading up to last October’s presidential election left a staggering fiscal deficit of 8.5 percent of GDP.
