Another Marxist/socialist leader goes down the Toilet if History. Has The New York Times mentioned this at all?

Chavez was an opportunistic but incompetent thug who wanted to become a multi-billionaire like his role model Fidel Castro (according to several financial publications), with vast numbers of mansions, mistresses, limos, and all the other trappings of vast wealth. Chavez failed miserably in his plans.

The strategy included a studious faux populism, propaganda through control of the mass media, brutal military oppression, and neighborhood "Committees for the Defense of the Revolution" to dispense ration coupons and population control on a micromanaging level. The only area wher he was successful in was the fawning buttocks love smooches by similarly minded American liberals and the vermin US media on Chavez' side.

Come to think about it, this is all reminiscent of how corrupt liberal scum like Terry McAuliffre and the two Clintons became multi-millionaires over the last 8 years.

This will go down in the "official" histories as a coup "engineered" by the "oil companies," but it sure sounds like a genuine worker's revolt--of the type that the Left is supposed to approve.
