What makes Erogodan as bad as Maduro?

Also, would Chavez really be that much different than Maduro?

Chavez had the Chavez cult of personality to cover up any radical shifts to cover his rear end.

Maduro's stuck trying to live up to Chavez' example if he wants to hold onto power, something Chavez never had to bother doing

Didn't Maduro just continue Chavez's policies?

yes. continuing Chavez' policies is a thing Chavez never had to worry about.

let me put it this way: Thomas Jefferson never had to give two shits about what the Founding Fathers would have done. the answer was "what I decided to do, bitch." doesn't matter if it was a total reversal of what he said yesterday.

cult of personality papers over a lot of requests for consistency
