The truth is Hugo Chavez was a man of destiny for Venezuela, using the country's oil wealth to bring education and healthcare to the majority population of the country. The traditional oligarch class has fought against this populist movement and enlisted the help of people like Elliott Abrams to ghoulishly bring suffering to the people to induce them to turn against the Bolivarian revolution. Similar changes are occurring all over Latin America, in Bolivia in particular. But, no, there seems to be some in the US foreign policy establishment who simply cannot accept the changes in Venezuela, preferring instead to create an official US narrative of "communist dictator", or whatever it is, when it is clear the people of Venezuela are not turning against their government.
