Venezuela has been melting down for years. Chavez beheaded the media and dismantled everything that worked from a global standpoint. His legacy is the decay of a once promising country.

Plenty of blame to go around here. Corrupt oligarchy, rampant inequality, coups against left wing governments, procuring foreign sponsors for said coup...

Maduro and Chavez before him have been very bad for Venezuela, but they're symptoms of a broken polis, not creatures born sui generis.
