VENEZUELA: Oppression and Resistance

Oppression and oppressor has been recently defined on Venezuela by the Chavez ideology during the 1990s. Chavez began promoting ideas about “poor against rich” that the country’s citizens began adopting. With statements such as being rich was “inhumane” and “condemned all who were rich” Chavez began promoting a socialist government in which the dream principles of freedom, equality and justice were achieved. Having an oppressor outlined the common people of Venezuela began striving for Chavez ideal government. However, as many other communist utopia the existent power on Venezuela wasn’t redistributed but replace. Which has affected the Latin country to today when 94% of the country live in poverty, 300,000 people are in danger of death, 1.2 million children do not attend school and 3.7 million people suffer from food scarcity.
