In Venezuela, it is the people who are answerable to the oligarchy, and often through brutal means if one is to agree with Amnesty International (hardly a right-wing organization).
That Hugo Chavez is the de-facto dictator of Venezuela is reality. The illusion of fair elections is the propaganda.

LOL you sure have a screwed-up vision of what socialism is and Venezuela. They have it at gun point?
They have a democratically elected government. They are not under government control, their system consists of government service, "which is in every nation" except US which can't even provide healthcare. They also elected for Chavez to stay as the president as the people of Venezuela don't won't another Washington puppet banking off they'r countries. Also, as far as "economics", Venezuela has a huge growth in GDP, job creation and the inflation is lowering. If anything Venezuelans enjoy more freedom than in USA. Americans think they are free, but your really in the dictatorship of capital. I have a friend in Venezuela and supporter of the Bolivarian revolution, he lived in USA before, but moved back because he cares about his country, and doesn't want to be ruled by a bunch of thugs from Washington and the IMF. I suggest you do some research on Venezula before making these outlandish claims. Also, please do not use sources from US-funded opposition movements.
