Why do idiots like Hugo Chavez accuse the US of imperialism and oppression?

Like the days of Soviet Russia he's trying to paint a good picture of a life opposite of the US, even though we have money and comford Chavez is trying to paint a good picture of Socialism, which we all know is a failure system and has been failing for over 50 years. In the end he'll just drive economy into the ground just like Cuba And Soviet Russia did.
