Legal as in official authority. Escobar was a drug lord, Chavez was President of Venezuela.

Pablo pushed drugs. Chavez berefted other people´s companies. What´s the diff ?

R.I.P.

I support everyone who stands up against USA and their corrupted Israel friends.

I say R.I.P. I think no one here knows if he was good or bad except for the people of Venezuela so maybe people shouldnt act like they know everything about how he ran things. Im interested in seeing what will come out of this in Venezuela.. Who will take charge.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Is it bad, i didn't really know who he was...

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Why do you think that he made it worse for his people? Why do so many adore him if that is the case?

On a side note, how long do you think it will be before Venezuelan oil is controlled by the US now that Chavez is dead?

same can be said about North Korea with the late kim jong ill. Called brainwashing, and dumbing the citizens down.

P.S: I should really proof read it and organise all the ideas, but I am just too lazy to do so. I didnt even say half of what I wanted, but just got too tired of writing and it would be longer than it already is. I basically focused on the economic aspect of it (because it is the biggest), but there is more. I also mentioned the lack of freedom, but didnt gave in depth info.

Sorry for interrupting but Hitler was a nice bloke , Russians bullied him and he had to commit suicide with his love .

May I ask why do you support anyone who is against the good old USA ?

Brainwashing? He never had the power, at least in his beginnings, to brainwash anyone unlike ill. He's a common man who made it to presidency through a morning TV show! Even after he became president he didn't need to brainwash anyone because the majority of the people (the poor) adored him. When you give thousands of homeless people houses and an education they would have never dreamed of, they're going to vote for you.

Besides, Venezuella has the most democratic elections in the world- Jim Carter's description, not mine. Candidates have the exact same tv and radio time to ensure equal exposure and two days before the elections, no one is allowed to speak the media or advertise himself to ensure that the people's choice is free. Heck even alcohol is not allowed to be sold a day before the elections!

You want to see brainwashing? Switch over to FOX!

Don't think you can objectively judge those two, especially Hitler, now. Had they won the war, they would have wrote history and the biggest evil in history would have been capitalism, Churchill and Truman.

PS: I'll reply to your long post tonight. I have some studying to do now.

No it wouldnt. Is capitalism loved because it won the Cold War? People still keep their opinion, even it not being the dominant force...

Also, I was giving more expample of politicians who were loved and had no reasons to be so, aka Chavez.

I might have masked my first comment a bit too much. Pablo Escobar was in an illegal business but used his fortune to help people in poverty. In return he gained loyal followers, extra ears and eyes so to say to keep him safe and aware of his surroundings. That's what Chavez did, supported the poorer people and gained their admiration. The difference between them two is that one of them was an official and legal authority in form of President and the other was a outlaw who fought against Colombian government and law enforcements.

I wasn't trying to say one is better than the other. Just that their motives and aims were comparable and many characteristic similarities could be drawn.

Both were crooks. Pablo was a drug dealer & Chavez appropriated companies. Nationalization is not something to be proud of.

History takes the side of the winner, it always does. It's easy to say how morally repugnant Hitler's philosophy is but at that time each side was convinced in his own philosophy that was naturally valid to him.
