How has Chavez destroyed a country?

He got democratically elected three times and besides a dip in the early 2000's has been doing pretty well, for both the poor and capitalists.

He is getting a lot of revenue off of their oil (note, not Western oil companies' oil) and that money is being brought back into the country so everyone is benefiting from it, like I said before, even capitalists (that is actually the biggest sector in growth).

I don’t nessesarly agree with everything that Chavez has done but he hasn’t been as bad as the news reports him as. I didn’t agree with Venezuela’s decision to give him that much power because he is human (even though he has proven to be trusting in the past) but he hasn’t done anything that could be considered destroying a country.

Unless…you have a different opinion of what destroying a country is…
