Venezuela: US/Canadian Attempted Coup Not About Democracy – Paul Jay (Pt1/2)

Summary:
The problem with Venezuela was that Hugo Chavez wasn't socialist enough, says Paul Jay, and so he didn't come down hard enough on the elite, whose power structure he left largely in place.He says how Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro are described as in the West as brutal dictators, but MBS is just described as the Crown Prince, although he ordered the death of an American citizen, as well as arrest many members of his family, murdered others, and some were tortured to death.When Hugo Chavez was released after a coup attempt, he made no attempt to capture and put on trail his kidnappers. PCR says this was his biggest mistake, because now they have come back to destroy Maduro's government. He says they should have been put on trail for treason.
