Hugo ChavezVenezuela has the biggest oil reserves in the world. And the biggest gas reserves in this hemisphere, the eighth in the world. Venezuela was a U.S. oil colony.

Hugo ChavezI wish Obama would focus on governing the United States and would forget his country's imperialist pretensions.
Hugo ChavezI love books. If they are good books, I love them even more. But even if they are bad books, I still love them.
Hugo ChavezTo paraphrase Karl Marx, the great Karl Marx, a specter is haunting the streets of Copenhagen...Capitalism is the specter, almost nobody wants to mention it...Socialism, the other specter Karl Marx spoke about, which walks here too, rather it is like a counter-specter. Socialism, this is the direction, this is the path to save the planet, I don't have the least doubt. Capitalism is the road to hell, to the destruction of the world.
