It sounds beautiful just… but… You know that the capitalism it’s a bad social enviroment but we did not invent anything better. This film looks like an old communist propaganda film… it’s scary for me, i have seen revolutinary victories and it was not all that good. Let’s hope this is different… or not.
21st century socialism under Chavez seems to work. Of course th capitalists will be against it, after all keeping the people enslaved to them is their ultimate goal.Mother Nature wants to share her goods with all of us, not just a select few.
the russian comunism didn’t work, the capitalism is better, but this one it’s much better, it take’s only god parts from each one; this situation it’s very fragile because they depand only on Chavez,buy i hope i’ll see the same result as in Cuba,and i hope that they (cuba-Ven.) will have long term cooperation, because it’s the only way to resist the big empireS.
And if the population will be well educated, it will be very hard that the americans will come, and have they’re clause back in. I hope that in the future i’ll make a trip into Venezuela and see with my own eyes the situation. GOOD LUCK brothers and keep learning because it’s the only way….
This is a joke! I lived in Venezuela many years and I have great friends over there. Chavez has destroyed what little democracy there was. His government does not work and the poor people are just as poor today as they have always been..He is a narcissist with absolutely no education other then the military..Venezuela remains horribly poor and the promises Chavez made have not in any way been fulfilled!

I’m into Economics. Your statement is false. Take a look at the Gini index for instance. Food production has increased by 25% since 1998. The private sector has grown more than the public sector in the past quarters.
There have been more voting going on than in other any social-liberal country in the world.
A dictator does not give away free education to people. Chavez has made people able to read and thus able to participate in democracy.
The truth is the opposition is f***** up. It was headed by a figure called Manuel Rosales:
He is suspected of corruption and unjustified enrichment during his mandate as governor of the state of Zulia between 2002 and 2004. Rosales, whose trial was transferred to Caracas (because he had met with four judges of the state of Zulia), is suspected, amongst others of:
donating to relatives and friends more than 300 vehicles that belonged to the State;
starting businesses in Miami whose assets surpass US$ 11 million; and
taking bribes from the German enterprise Siemens for the construction of the Maracaibo subway. The said multinational corporation acknowledged having paid certain amounts in order to obtain the contract, without mentioning any name, however.”
Mr Michael,, nice to hear that we in venezuela are producing more food,,,, Maybe you can tell me where i can buy some milk, sugar or beans over here in venezuela,,, or maybe where can i find some toilet paper,,, we cantv even travel to other countries wihtout asking for permision to the goverment, because they are the ones that tell us how much we can spend in a trip
If you are into economics,, you could probably look at the numbers on how much has mr Chaves’ spent in propaganda,, just like this one you have just watched….
Its a shame what we are living in this country, you are welcome to come and live in this false revolution anytime you want
Dear Hector
The improvement of living conditions in Venezuela are propably more apparent to those of you who don’t have computers, internet connections, or enough money to travel abroad, and they (apparently the vast majority) seems to be pretty satisfied…
The improvement of living conditions? what improvement of living conditions are you talking about? are you saying that the poor which is the vast majority are in better conditions,think again, after 10 or so years under the bolivarian (Chavez’s) power poverty has increased well over 10% not only that but Caracas (Venezuela’s capital) became tied this year as the most dangerous city along with somalia. There has been over 110,000 homicides since Chavez. Two people are shot to death every hour in Petare ( Caraca’s largest and poorest neighbourhood). So, If that’s an improvement of living conditions, my friend, I think we live in different worlds. I not only invite you to live in this false revolution but I recommend you pick up a newspaper once in awhile. Ignorance is not a bliss. Awareness is intelligence. Still not convinced? Try seeing how long you last alive in Caracas.
Dear Michael, do yourself a favor and take a trip around south America. I understand your point of view, trust me, I am born and raised Canadian, and would not think any differently if i had not lived in Venezuela for 10 years. It is sad, and astonishing how little people know on this country. And, how propaganda like this makes its way across the world and not really what is going on.
I work with humanitarian workers and you are a backpacker with subjective backpacker opinions. I couldnt care less about your subjectice experience.
I not a Chavista but I care about facts. I dont care whether Chavez gets reelecetd. I dont think its a revolution like you do. There was a Venezuela before mr. Chavez you dont know much about. Homicides is a part of the culture of that particular country. You talk about homicides but are totally ignorant of the mortality rates. I dont care about your cherry picking of data.
Somalia is not a city. You cant compare Somalia to Caracas. In fact most of Somalia is peacefull and have prospered more than other African countries since the break down of the state. There are only few but also very dangerous places in Somalia. So Somalia is not the most dangerous place.
It’s very interesting how people are losing jobs, losing homes, losing health/care in the USA and yet have time to demonize a man who is sharing his country’s wealth with the poor citizens of his country. He’s wiped illiteracy, empowered his people to take control of missions for education, health and learning a trade so that they can support themselves instead of living in abject poverty. Listening to middleclass Venezuelans say atrocities about Chavez is indicative of how selfish people are when they have to share the wealth with poor people they used to look down on. People like to feel superior to others and when these poor people start educating themselves and are now sharing universities and resources with the formerly entitled, it brings out a rage that is quite scary. Students who had a monolopy on Universities are now seeing the poor who never had an opportunity to higher learning before walk their campuses are now attacking these students. Because of this Chavez is planning on building 22 universities to educate his young people and hopefully stop the wars. As i see my country privatizing its educational system, abandoning affordable housing, fully privatizing health care while subsidizing rich health care companies, and basically letting the working poor, and middle classes slide into quicksand, it’s amazing that people let off steam by criticizing this man. Before you fix someone else’s house, FIX YOU OWN.
