The essay addresses what are perhaps the two most destructive problems of today’s Venezuela: the rampant wave of crime that cuts a swath through the country, and Hugo Chavez’s ever-growing megalomaniac tendencies.
Being a Venezuelan myself, having grown up playing video games in Caracas, and having had close friends assaulted and killed by common criminals in the city, I couldn’t help feeling deeply identified with Guido’s point of view.
I will be spending Christmas with my family in Caracas and will blog about my own personal observations, so for now, without further ado, I invite you to read Guido’s piece.
