Ruling elites in Venezuela, the United States and Europe, and even Hugo Ch�vez himself though for different reasons, have been eager to have the world view him as the heir to Fidel Castro. But the truth about this increasingly influential world leader is more complex, and more interesting..

They have also provided a model for new governments and social movements in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina.
