president hugo chavez of venezuela is committed to socialism and the anti—imperialist struggle. castro was the keeper of latin america's revolutionary flames. well, now it is chavez. but are venezuela's people beginning to tire of their firebrand president? president hugo chavez, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much. i want to begin by asking you about the venezuelan economy. you have a serious problem with inflation. you have a currency that has been devalued and your country is still in recession. is it fair to say that socialism right now is not working? you had growth. but now you do not have growth. you're the only latin american country that this year, as well as last year, is not growing at all and is in recession. is it possible, you say it's possible, to have some form of capitalism with in a socialist system. is it possible to have genuine democracy and respect for the rule of law within your socialist system? you are absolutely right that you have won elections, and you have won them very easily. but democracy is more than aboutjust winning elections. can i put one

he won the presidential election after hugo chavez died at the end of 2013.o be, according to his mandate, president of venezuela until the very end of 2018. that is the mandate. yes — no, but listen. you have to rule the country by one constitution, and the constitution said that last year we had to have governors' elections, and maduro didn't want to make it. we should have a recall referendum, and maduro stopped it. this year, we should have had the regional elections and maduro stopped them. so, it cannot be one constitution for maduro and one constitution for the venezuelan people. that's it, the core of the problem. right now in venezuela, we have no constitution at all, and we only have the will of maduro, and he decides whether we have elections or not in venezuela. this is not fair, it is not democracy, and we are fighting precisely, steve, for having a democratic path, which is elections in venezuela. so we are fighting for trying to bring the constitution out for our political life. we are trying to fight within the constitution. this is a huge dif

from the late radical socialist hugo chavez to the far right-wing nationalist marine le pen, the uniting how they conduct politics. according to one author, there are three core requirements for politicians to be considered populist. one, they make an appeal to the people, chanting their cause -- championing their cause against the elite. >> she will keep the rig the system in place. i alone can fix it. crises orts use manufacture them to justify the call to war. and inflammatory language is used. >> he makes the streets unsafe. >> here's the argument. it has populists -- because populists make big promises to change society, they bump up against the limits of what government can do. the temptation becomes to declare these checks and balances as -- direction fore a democracies that seem to have lost the represent of power and they have lost their representative power. the draw of populism is not going away anytime soon. >> anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment. thank you. you can read more about populism in one of the quick takes

obama called the dictator of ethiopia the winner of the democratic election, he was friends with hugo chÁvezend but in the beginning -- paul: venezuela. >> reached out to him and cuba he made a great concession to the cuban dictatorship. you know, so it went on and on. iran when iran had stolen election in 2009, he praised it. you know, he did nothing to defend human rights over the course of eight years. paul: reagan engaged with dictators, he had to. but one thing i never heard him say was praise for those dictators before they actually made concessions or released political prisoners which is significant. >> yeah, he had a lot of nice words. paul: at the end. >> look, i think as dan said, it's not as simple meet or don't meet with dictators, all presidents have to be involved with them. the president of the united states, he has a lot of prestige and foreigners praise that, it's a big thing for them because they know they don't have that credibility. so it's leverage for a president to use rather than just give away. as to the point about human rights and american policies, sometimes you

to vote for the united socialist party, to vote for constitutional referendums, and to vote for hugo chavezbeen certified by international observers, like the carter center. >> tucker: so, you really think that the government of venezuela is on the level that it is the purely democratic government, that it's basically successful economically, how can you think that? have you spent a lot of time there? have you talked to a lot of people about it? what gives you that idea? >> while, tucker, if you look ae international observers that have certified these elections, i mean, what stake does jimmy carter and the carter center have in defining fraudulent elections that are democratic? i think most people, if you look at the violence that has happened after these elections, every time the government has won an election, there has been mass violence. yet, the one time the opposition won in december, there was no violence. plus, at the end of the day, what stake to american working families have in the united states meddling in internal affairs in venezuela? >> tucker: i don't think it is a question

the next president of mexico will be an anti-american socialist populist similar to venezuela's hugo chavez. andre yas manuel lopez obrador was polling around 10% at the start of 2015. he is now over 30%. the front-runner among the presidential candidates for next year's election. a victory for him would be a disaster for mexico but also for the united states. it would likely take mexico back to its days of corrupt socialism, and dysfunctional economics, all sustained by populism and nationalism. now consider south korea. trump's demand to pay for the missile defense system threatening to overturn the existing agreement with washington hat fueled the forces in south korea that opposed that system in the first place, along with any aggressive military measures taken against north korea. trump has casually delivered a number of slights to one of america's closest allies. accepting wholesale china's claim that korea once belonged to it, and threatening to tear up the u.s./south korea free trade agreement. south korea's facing a snap election for its presidency. and the candidate who is benefit

you have hugo chavez of the most as the most prominent example of someone who swept in on this populiste. latin america was populist long before we were populist. they were traditionally left somewhat alone. venezuela had the advantage of having such a huge oil economy that was such a large exporter and when we had oil prices where they were at the time above $100, it was an incredible boon to their economy. there was a tremendous amount of investment down there. it was looked at as a darling. there are always infrastructure issues there, getting distribution of wealth, but when we look at what has happened since over the past decade in terms of the level of corruption in venezuela, the stifling wealth inequality that now exists in that country, every government confronted with massive scandal across core industries, and actually to appoint goons squads in some respects with maduro taking out opponents, it is a throwback. frankly, i'm not sure the world is watching as much as it should be right now. oliver: you guys look at something that everyone is is taxes andwhich what the trump adm
