He's loved and admired worldwide. He's hated for his virtues. He made promises and kept them. 

He cared about ordinary people. He showed it. His legacy won't be forgotten. 

Chavismo lives! Bolivarianism is real. It's part of Venezuela's culture. It represents democratic equity and justice.

Venezuelans have the real thing. It reflects Simon Bolivar's vision. He defeated the Spanish. He liberated half of South America. He advocated using national wealth responsibly, fairly and equitably.

He strove to overcome the imperial curse. It "plague(d) Latin America with misery in the name of liberty," he said. 

Chavez was his modern-day incarnation. Chavismo reflects Bolivarian principles. He established them. They're hardwired. They won't change. Venezuelans deplore their ugly past. They won't go back.

Chavez was the rarest of political leaders. He was the exception proving the rule. He cared more about people than power. He had much more to do. 

New leadership will advance his progressive agenda. Maduro's up to the challenge. He'll surprise people. So did Chavez.
