Since capitalism is actually just "free markets" and that is really just "freedom to buy and sell OR actually just freedom", I don't think those who applauded Chavez comments denigrating capitalism are actually clear on what it is they hate (about capitalism).

I think what they actually hate is not freedom itself but America.

The reason they hate America is that America has demonstrated that the best system for human organization and achievement and economics is "meritocracy".

European babies who have been pampered and seduced by state socialism into believing that they don't have to try to by their BEST don't want compete.

They don't want a meritocracy! They want the easy way out and to be shown that such a way (socialism) is inefficient and less (far less) than optimal...is the ultimate insult to their softness and adolescent view of reality.

Socialists and Marxists promise the world a social plantation wherein the inhabitants never have to grow up. It is a kind of neverland (actually Netherworld) in which they, upon adulthood, simply swap the parents for permanent state guardians.

That kind of existence will never work in America...so the rest of the world will just have to go on hating us!

You have hit the target on this. America’s success points up the lack of success in other countries. This absolutely galls them, so they must come up with some excuse as to why they are not doing better. The easiest excuse, and lie, is that they are not doing better because America is keeping them down.
