He’s playing on words. The system in Venezuela is democratic socialism. The people elected Chavez who then pursued traditionally socialist policies including persecution of opposition. He points to Canada and Scandinavia as better examples of democratic socialism, but none of those countries have democratic socialist systems, rather they have social democracy systems. They sound alike but social democracy is still fundamentally a market based system while democratic socialism is not because it nationalises industries. He’s hoping Americans don’t understand this difference.
