Led by Hugo Chávez, the country’s firebrand former president, the country embarked on a wave of expropriation and redistribution with the charismatic leader offering cut-price fridges, appliances and even new homes to poor Venezuelans. Hugo led the perfect Marxist's life.
He lived the fantasy of Marxism and died before the reality caught up with him.

Wrong. Reality caught up with him the moment he died. He came face to face with Stalin and the rest at that moment.

Hugo led the perfect Marxist's life. I love quoting myself:
The primary beneficiaries of a socialist program are the socialist politicians. The secondary are the bureaucracies, and tertiaries are the supposed recipients. Everything after is fluff.

And Hugo died in bed after submitting himself to Cuban socialist doctors to treat his cancer. Of course they completely screwed that up. Near the end he must have had some insight on where he was going, as he whimpered “please don’t let me die” as the demons came to drag him down to hell.
