Hugo Chavez has managed to impose its project in Bolivia and Nicaragua, Ecuador and its sinister shadow hangs.
The Venezuelan leader has excellent opportunities for penetration and therefore destabilizing in several countries of the hemisphere, however, Fidel Castro, despite the violence sponsored, managed, and that only with the help of more than one democratic country in the continent, establishing a regime of their home in Managua.
is clear that Chavez, while sharing the same totalitarian and imperialist vocation of Fidel Castro, has used different methods to his mentor and achieved more success. He seems to know that domestic and foreign supporters have the cash money closely associated with ideology, which has ruled the discourse of moral incentives Guevara and facilitates its people and the fabulous bags they found in the Argentine airport Ezeiza.
Castro hosted the pump, and the guerrilla attack. The violence established in the export to Cuba and other countries throughout the Americas, including several African nations. In Cuba, set up schools for subversion and military training were established propaganda and espionage apparatus to the exclusive service of the Maximum Leader and diplomats conducted a level of a world power.
Chavez is not a rebel, is a coup, but according to a survey of the era had broad popular support and won an unexpected sponsor Senator and former President Rafael Caldera.
A few months later there was another coup attempt also failed and President Carlos Andres Perez, who was never indicted, was removed from office. Caldera was elected a second time as president and put Chavez free. Violent

Visit Cuba, Castro was received and continues a campaign in which states that we must rebuild the Republic, for which calls for a Constituent Assembly.
The party crisis, popular disenchantment with the many problems facing the Venezuelan democracy perfectible, plus the opportunism of certain political and business leaders who contributed to Hugo Chávez resources and political formulas, won the 1998 elections.

Chavez, regardless of their skills, driving skills and sense of timing has been very fortunate. There he met a Cold War and Soviet Union sought a list of base in South America but was met with a barrel of oil above $ 80 and Fidel Castro in the final phase as hemispheric leader.
The money has helped to gain supporters inside and outside the country. It's easy to succeed in elections when the undecided are enticed with loans or lofty sinecures and supporters to positions where satisfied vanity is adorned with jewelry, luxury cars and dollars in banks.
Moreover, the exploitation of nationalism always confuse the enemy within and galvanize allies. He has cheated. Venezuela has international projects in a dispute with the United States knows it will not rhetoric.
has squandered the wealth that has allowed luxury allies in major nations. The diplomacy of cheap oil in return for political loyalty partner the purchase of debts, loans written in the ice and banking were met from the property credit of Venezuelans make a modern type of corruption that facilitates its allies to power total.
Hugo Chavez, but so far subverted with dollars, is a real threat, just as it has ceased to be Fidel Castro, for the American democracies.
