Blog 6 (7?): Why Chavez Was Re-elected


                Hugo Chavez was elected president of Venezuela by a significant number of votes, which may not be the best outcome in United States of America’s viewpoint. Chavez is a dictator who often makes allies with America’s enemies. However, Venezuela has succumbed to the situations that many South American countries are in: when their president improves their living standards, they re-elect him. It doesn’t matter that the president has a part in the corruption of his country’s economy or that the president controls his country’s media. Aside from the United States of America’s protests of his election, however, Chavez insures the democracy of Venezuela and the protection of Venezuela from the imperialism of the United States of America. South America created the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, a new hemisphere-wide organization, rather than join the United States-dominated Organization of American States.

                By Chavez being re-elected, the Venezuelan people don’t have to worry about their country falling victim to the imperialism of the United States under the bad judgment of a new, inexperienced president. Chavez had gone through the trials and tribulations it took to stand up against the United States of America. With first-hand experience as president, there are no questions of his leadership in defense of Venezuelan’s democracy. However, in regards to his corruption and dictatorship within his own country, there is concern for the need of democracy in those areas. Yet, with Chavez, the country of Venezuela will be able to deal with their problems within their borders without the worry of having to fend off persecutors from outside.
