Chavismo

ai generated text

Chavismo is a left-wing populist ideology that emerged in Venezuela under President Hugo Chávez, combining elements of democratic socialism, Bolivarianism, and Latin American integration. The ideology emphasizes nationalization, social welfare programs, and opposition to neoliberalism, but critics argue it is actually state capitalist. Support for Chavismo peaked in the early 2010s, but declined after Chávez's death and the economic deterioration under Nicolás Maduro's tenure. Academic research on Chavismo is divided between liberal democratic and radical democratic perspectives, with the former viewing it as democratic backsliding and the latter as a fulfillment of democratic aspirations.learn more on wikipedia
