Chavez gets a lot of poo poo for not being "socialist enough" but politically educating the military and seeding it with Bolivarians was pretty forward thinking.

What a turnaround this year has had in Latin American politics. Bolsonaro took power at the start of the year, seemingly setting up the biggest country in South America, and probably the wider region, to return to the era of semi-fascist juntas. Later in January, the US did everything short of an overt military intervention to overthrow the Venezuelan government, as part of what seemed to be plan to finally crush them, Nicaragua, and Cuba.

Now Chile, ground zero for neoliberalism, has over a million people in the streets. Ecuador had a revolt against IMF demanded austerity so massive the government fled the capital. Now the anti-austerity ticket won in Argentina, after Macri signed up for the biggest IMF deal ever.

I'm not saying the situation is completely reverse, and these people's movements will certainly have some defeats and betrayals going forward, but goddamn has the momentum shifted quickly.

Well, there's hope in Brazil at least. Lula's free, and Moro's lost a lot of influence. God-willing, this will be the beginning of the end for Bolsonaro.

Still, this is a bad day for Latin America.

reading articles on it because I like being angry

"CNN posted:

Morales was one of the longest-serving heads of state in Latin America, is Bolivia's first indigenous president. He won his first election with a campaign that promised a government focused on the needs of the country's poor. But he was also accused of using the system to concentrate power.

how was he concentrating power CNN? was he using the police to harass opposition? no they starting openly opposing him a couple of days ago. How about the military? was he concentrating his power that way? no, he just got couped.

gosh darn they must be referring to how he halved the poverty rate of the country. After all, doing things that helps poor people is cheating politically. they might vote for you in the next election!

if they follow the honduras gameplan in which the military forcibly removed the president from office it will look something like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/31/hillary-clinton-honduras-violence-manuel-zelaya-berta-caceres

quote:

In the weeks following the coup, Zelaya made three attempts to re-enter the country, which Clinton described as reckless. She has said that her focus at the time was on electing a new leader in order to ensure an orderly transition.

In her memoir, she wrote: “In the subsequent days I spoke with my counterparts around the hemisphere … We strategized on a plan to restore order in Honduras and ensure that free and fair elections could be held quickly and legitimately, which would render the question of Zelaya moot.”

Leaked emails from Clinton’s private server which were published by WikiLeaks show that during this period, the US pushed the OAS to support new elections and sideline Zelaya.

But the ousted leader still had real support at home: tens of thousands of people took to the streets in daily demonstrations demanding his return and the cancellation of the November elections which Clinton advocated.

Meanwhile, the crackdown was brutal, said Karen Spring of the Honduras Solidarity Network. “People were beaten, tortured, disappeared, jailed illegally. There were no conditions for free and fair elections; there was no peaceful transition.”

New elections that November went ahead without any international observers – apart from a delegation from the US Republican party – and were boycotted by large sections of society. The independent candidates, and some from Zelaya’s Liberal party, pulled out.

Mass protests continued until the rightwing National party’s Pepe Lobo Sosa, was sworn in as president in January 2010.

The new government swiftly unveiled a collection of pro-business policies and aggressively pursued a sell-off of natural resources.

Yea but it’s different here because I have a Bolivian friend who’s totally not a Gusano and he says it’s okay. The fact that he’s named for Reinhard Heydrich has nothing to do with it.
