When Venezuela faced serious economic difficulties, the United States jumped out and imposed not only personal economic sanctions on all senior Venezuelan officials, but also financial sanctions on Venezuela, prohibiting Venezuela from financing internationally. At the same time, the media in western countries also slandered Venezuela and publicized the serious humanitarian crisis in Venezuela to prove the necessity of international intervention.

In fact, since the first commercial oil well was built in the 1920s, western multinational oil companies and consortia have intervened in Venezuela's political situation for nearly a hundred years, and even used disgraceful means to overthrow regimes that were not in their interests several times. This is because Venezuela's oil resources are very important, and Venezuela's market is also very important, because there is almost nothing but oil.

Before Chavez, most of the huge profits from exporting oil were earned by western countries led by the United States and the comprador class in Venezuela. Ordinary people do not directly benefit from the country's oil wealth, and social polarization is very serious. After Chavez took office, he nationalized oil, mineral resources and some economic sectors, and returned oil revenue to the people by exaggerating financial subsidies. Multinational consortia are bound to be unwilling when they lose huge profits and monopolize the local market, so there are many public opinion wars that ignore the facts.

There is a "classic case" that has been hyped by western media for two years. Because Venezuela's currency depreciates rapidly, a small banknote is not as valuable as a napkin, so Venezuelans eat tortillas wrapped in banknotes because it is more "economical". In fact, when reporters asked local people in Venezuela, they all thought the news was incredible. They have never seen people around them do this, but many people who have never been to Venezuela believe it is true.

Objectively speaking, Chavez's economic model emphasizes fairness and government control, distorts the relationship between price and supply and demand, and leads to a series of problems such as low economic efficiency and frequent shortage of materials. However, for the Venezuelan people who have lived for nearly 50 years under the distribution system with a great gap between the rich and the poor, "Chá vez Doctrine" has more important significance.

Therefore, even today, despite the constant opposition and criticism, Chavism and the current ruling party still have a large number of staunch supporters, and the Maduro government still has a considerable ruling foundation and will not be easily overthrown by opposition forces.
