People here in Venezuela used the same excuse, "Oh Chavez doesn't know about it", it being corruption etc, as if there weren't hundreds of reports/testimonies appearing in newspapers/etc every single day.

What's next, Xi doesn't know about the organ farms? Hah.

What the parent comment said was that not every little detail is decided at the top.

Chavez knew the country was corrupted but do you think he was behind every clerc or doctor that asked for a bribe?

Dictators are not superior beings able to manage a country : they are just good at keeping hold and at hiding their mistakes.

Yes he was, he purposely allowed corruption to flourish, communism 101.
