¶ … Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and his staunch anti-American stance. Ultimately, the article is a statement of why Chavez will eventually fail, and fail his country, too.
Critically, this is a very interesting and well-written piece that concisely delves into Venezuela's current difficulties and why Chavez has become so outspoken against Americans and President Bush. It is interesting, and keeps the reader involved throughout the short article, because the writer consistently adds new information while weaving his own opinion clearly through the piece. He covers a very short history of Marxism but sums it up nicely, showing how concise some pieces of history can really be. It would not be surprising to someday see this article in an archive of Venezuelan history, especially after Chavez' fall, and from this article's common sense approach, it is clear the dictator will fall. Most do eventually, even if Castro has proved to be the exception. The writer makes Chavez' policies clear and even make sense, even if they do not really make sense for Venezuela or its' people. This short article really makes sense of a complex matter, and allows the reader to understand the inherent problems that come with Marxism and a Marxist dictator, even if they had never read about the policy before. This is not a comprehensive look at Chavez and his administration, but as a short piece it is interesting, gives plenty of information, and if anything, may get the reader to look further into Chavez, his administration, and Venezuela's future.
