What Chavez is doing is constitutional. He was given this power by the elected representatives of the people of Venezuela, under the provisions of their constitution.

If he nationalizes whatever parts of the oil business aren't already owned by the state, that will be perfectly legal, too.

Chavez is a Bolivarian, his long term goal is to unite all South America into a United States of South America, which would be a democracy modeled after the USA, and a world super power, by virtue of it's wealth, population and technology.

Is that something we should fear?

Goober, he may want to unite all of south america but hardly under democracy like the USA. As far as them being a world Superpower, even China hasn't reached that stage yet, although they are close, a united SA would have a long way to go to even approach super power status. But hey deluding oneself is perfectly fine as long as you do not expect the rest of us to join you.
