Maduro is not a socialist, he's a left wing populist that leans on Christian rhetoric twice as much as on calls for socialism. His government is on a dead end and neither him nor Chavez accomplished a profound transformation of Venezuela.
But if you cheer for the "democratic opposition" without seeing they are literal fascists that actively took part in "Operación Condor" and that are payed and organized from Washington, then you are a tool.
A fucking tool.
