    Yeah, watch as we(sterners) stay silent about the new bolivian dictatorship under Rodrigo Paz, as he governs through decrees and makes ineligible 80% of the candidates(, 26.000 out of 34.000, with almost no substitution), something unseen under the MAS, who didn’t even need a second turn to win the 2020 elections, and would have won in 2025 as well without a suspicious(, fearful of the US ?,) betrayal of Luis Arce. Their victory in these subnational elections was assured, especially following the recent mass protests against Rodrigo Paz.
    This article doesn’t mention the mass invalidation and its causes, nor that they put Luis Arce in jail and are trying to do the same for Evo Morales.

    That’s what happens once you allow the rent-seekers to take power(, Étienne Chouard has a better solution to be safeguarded from abuses of power), and what will happen to Venezuela as well(, at least Venezuela’s constitution has the art.72 along with its participatory democracy, even if it didn’t protect them from sanctions), with a complicit silence of the capitalist-owned press, who’d have immediately denounced it if Evo Morales ever did something similar, and there will obviously not be any sanction, bombing, or western-backed coup in order to restore democracy and liberty.
    And it’s not only in Bolivia.


    So, what’s their alternative then, armed struggle ? They should just give up on their lives and sacrifice it in order to attempt taking back control ?
    Rodrigo “Paz” banned their medias, and now they can’t even participate in a biased election, let us applaud.
