Michael Bustamante: 我认为查韦斯将卡斯特罗视为一位可以学习的政治家和战略家，并且有迹象表明他确实这样做了。卡斯特罗也从查韦斯身上学习，并没有建议查韦斯完全复制古巴的经验。他们至少维持了一种多党制的表象。 Anthony DePalma: 查韦斯非常尊重菲德尔，视他为导师，甚至是父亲。对菲德尔来说，委内瑞拉这样一个国家和查韦斯这样的人追随他，是他个人魅力和吸引力的体现。更重要的是，查韦斯拥有石油和资金。当苏联不再提供额外资金时，委内瑞拉提供了。委内瑞拉提供了如此多的石油，以至于古巴可以出售一部分，并将所得外汇用于购买食物。委内瑞拉的石油帮助古巴摆脱了最严重的经济灾难。当他站在克里姆林宫，与赫鲁晓夫或勃列日涅夫站在一起时，他不仅仅是一个加勒比岛屿的领导人，而是一个国际性的反帝国主义和革命的象征。卡斯特罗的自负需要不断被满足，他需要成为关注的中心，并获得人民和世界的赞扬，而且永远不够。

The end arrives. Embarrassed at a baseball game, the Maximum Leader responds with arrests and intimidation. We hear first-hand testimony from a Cuban on the receiving end of the violence.
