Venezuela is allied with and supports Cuba, Bolivia, Russia, Iran. In the case of Iran Venezuela is effectively allied with state sponsored terrorism.
Chavez has directly repressed civil dissent and the media in Venezuela. He has manipulated elections and the Venzuelan constitution to increse his power.
The US has been involved in some unsavory relationships but nothing like what Chavez has done.
