Talk:Hugo Chavez

This page appears fine to me. Citations are needed throughout the article, but as far as everything else goes, I approve. ColinR 05:18, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Thanks

I'll get to work on some citations, but thankyou for accepting it, It's good to see some objectivity on this site. =)

This article is surprisingly neutral

I'm impressed that this article is surprisingly neutral towards Chavez, I figured it would call him a totalitarian communist.--DemocraticSocialist 11:50, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

He's more of a greedy communist robber baron. RobS 16:36, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

It must be liberal subversion hahahaha--DemocraticSocialist 11:51, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Sorry to burst the bubble. He has been referred to as a dictator here. Have patience this article will eventually follow suit. Auld Nick 11:59, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

I knew it was too good to be true. While Castro is a dictator, Chavez who was elected by almost two thirds of the population is clearly not --DemocraticSocialist 14:58, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

We're waiting for Castro to die before her passes the baton. RobS 16:27, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Dictator!!!!????

How can someone who is democratically elected be referred to as a dictator --ScandalousHegemony 23:57, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

How about that Hitler guy in 1933? Karajou 21:16, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

...Who was not democratically elected. --Ĥøĵĭmåçħôńğ^talk 21:17, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

Maybe the question should be, "how can someone who continues to hold democratic elections at the frequency prescribed in the nations constitution (Like Mr. Chavez for example) be called a dictator?" The answer to that question is, he cannot. Because he isn't. Like it or not, Hugo Chavez is the democraticly elected leader of a democratic country and any suggestion that he is a dictator is little more than an insult to democracy. How can this website call Chavez a Dictator, but not someone like General Pinochet of Chile??? This 'encyclopedia' gets progressively more ridiculous by the day. Unless someone either 'locks this page for editing' or gives me some very good evidence to suggest that I am wrong about Mr. Chavez and his democratic government I will delete the word 'Dictator' from this entry.

Oh look, how suprising. It's already been locked. That's it. I've had enough of Conservapedia. You have to look less hard to find the truth in [Uncylopedia|http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page] than Conservapedia. At least they admit they are a comedy parody of the truth. And at least they dont get all angry because I choose to spell suprising with an 's' instead of a 'z'.

It doesn't matter how he got into power, especially if he significantly increases his power while in office. DanH 21:19, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

Chavez does not have a record of increasing his power, merely changing the economy to having a socialist slant. --Ĥøĵĭmåçħôńğ^talk 21:21, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

• actually, he does [1]. Chavez is an autocrat.Богдан ^Talk 21:28, 30 May 2007 (EDT)

I used to have neighbors from Venezuela whose relatives were on Chavez's hit list. DanH 21:28, 30 May 2007 (EDT)
