Chavez.....nationalized several private industries in the name of big controlling government because he could...Believed in redistribution of weath which almost destroyed the middle class...and had government run healthcare...which was so good he had to travel to Cuba for treatment...Yet watching some accounts one may have gotten the impression that someone of importance had died....No different than any other dictator...goon/death squads keeping his people down while he and a small few lived like royalty...

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's Hugo Chavez will be embalmed and put on display "for eternity" at a military museum after a state funeral and an extended period of lying in state, acting President Nicolas Maduro said on Thursday.

Huge crowds are still waiting to pay their respects to Chavez after his death this week, and Maduro said the move - reminiscent of the treatment of Communist leaders Lenin, Stalin and Mao after their deaths - would help keep the late president's self-declared socialist revolution alive.

"It has been decided that the body of the comandante will be embalmed so that it remains eternally on view for the people at the museum," Maduro told state TV.

SO odd, disgusting and morbid! Yuichk!
