re: #848 Gus 802

Chavez of course is a Bolivarian and not a mainstream socialist of the European mold. It’s a little discomforting to see when Americans see the word “socialist” and the first thing that comes to mind is Hugo Chavez.

Yeah, my poem is as much about my disenchantment with the likes of Chavez as it is about the hypocrisy of the US’s attitude towards him compared to other, more “aligned” despots.
