Chavez will go down in history as one of the most important leaders' of 21st century. What makes him more popular than the usual leaders is that he becomes more and more popular as his term progresses and peoples' standard of living keep improving.
If he can only shut down all the US corporate/oil propaganda machines advocating lies about him he could be even more effective, but it is hard to fight against the interests of foreign oil companies and for the rights of native working people whose land and oil was ripped off of them for decades.
