He was a true progressive, and while there were aspects of what he did I didn't always agree with, I respected him. He was one of those rare 'Western' leaders who really became more liberal as time went on, and was one of those even rarer leaders who actually (perhaps ironically) fought hard for his people to really benefit from their democracy.
Let's hope Venezuela can continue to move forward. I get the distinct impression the Global Establishment will fight hard to destroy all they've achieved.
