Imagine you are the wealthy owner of a successful business in Venezuela. How might you have viewed Chávez’s actions?

I would have viewed Chavez's actions as invasive and as literary stealing my property, business, and profit.

Explanation:

Hugo Chavez was a leader of Venezuela for a very long time. He had communist ideals, practically meaning that the government had to control everything and own everything, or in other words to have everything nationalized. This was not seen fondly by people that had businesses and rightly so.

If I were a wealthy owner of a business in Venezuela, I would have been very angry and would have been trying to find ways how to get everything I own out of the country. I wouldn't have liked the fact that the government would have taken over my business or ordering me how to run it without me having any say in it. The manner in which nationalization has been done I would have considered it as stealing my property, business, and profit, especially because it has been created and run by me, without any government support while building and establishing it.
