Venezuela had a democratic-ish government before they voted for Chavez.

On a side note, it was kind of strange watching the media dance around what Chavez was doing. When he first took power and started seizing money and power it was all framed as he is demolishing the corrupt institutions. Then as election irregularities started happening and the economy started failing, the blame was placed on the U.S for boycotting them.
