Heinz Dieterich - Chavez' German chief ideologist

The German sociologist Heinz Dieterich shows a red cap which he got from the President of Venezuela in 1999 in Mexico City, Mexico, 31 August 2017. Until the break of dawn the former Venezuelan President Chaves and Dieterich sat together in the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, made plans, argued about politics and social equality. Now, Dieterich sees the country in which he once wanted to realise his 'socialism of the 21st century' go down. Photo: Susana González/dpa (Photo by Susana González/picture alliance via Getty Images)
