Two sides of the same propaganda coin

A brief look at the international press gives you an idea of how the PR wars are fought:

From Spain's El Pais, via Lady Godiva:

El proyecto socialista de Chávez divide a sus partidarios entre pragmáticos y radicales
El ex ministro de Defensa venezolano avisa: "Antes de redistribuir la riqueza, debemos crearla"

Señaló que el socialismo que se pretende instaurar en Venezuela no tiene por qué estar reñido con la democracia ni con la propiedad privada.

My translation:
Chavez's socialist project splits his followers as partisans or radicals.
Ex-Minister of Defense warns: "Before we redistribute wealth, we must creat it"
"He pointed out that the socialism they are attempting to establish in Venezuela doesn't have fight against democracy or private property."

Things were a tad more blunt over in Germany:

Via Baron Bodissey,

Bürger sollen "überflüssigen Reichtum" abgeben
"Citizens should hand over superfluous wealth"

which in plain English means: "Hand over your wallet!"
