Dreylad posted:Yeah and it's clear that electoralism isn't the winner in Bolivia, it's a vote after incredible pressure martialed by leftwing institutions and political groups backed by a good chunk of the working population to make sure that any attempt to steal the election would lead to a complete shutdown of Bolivian industry. So we need to either target the NLRB and corresponding agencies in other nations or just prepare to break labor law. I don't think big unions will go along with either of those and I don't know how you organize a large strike without them onboard. PhilippAchtel has issued a correction as of 00:06 on Oct 21, 2020 |

"hurr durr people who disagree with me get their news on Twitter pre-digested and shitted out in 280 character snippets from accounts like @pineapplecumsundae, unlike me, who is very wise" I say as I elevate rumors from interviews with conservative activists using language like "A fairly decent BBC breakdown confirms that my source's story is, at least, commonly believed among protesters in Bolivia" despite acknowledging the complete lack of evidence That's my Robert Evans impression https://twitter.com/caranatar/status/1194978527554277378 this guy said it better

So MAS is going to have to purge the military, right? Big gently caress up by Evo imo to allow disloyal officers to reach the positions they obviously have.

my guess is since they just utterly hosed themselves in the elections they try and get the more right wing and reactionary white lowlands around santa cruz to secede or something. also happens to be where most of the natural gas is... the election map is pretty much MAS dominant though so lol.

A MAS vs. Military shootout over secession is going to end up real ugly for everyone involved, and it will scare off the milquetoast middle-class that would rather live in a socialist government (and bitch about it incessantly) than Neo Libya I could totally see Trump/Biden paying off the military to do it anyways, set an example

Chile is going into an election on potential constitutional reform in a few days too, that happened because of mass protests there. It looks like it will pass. The communist candidate is in the lead for the November 2021 presidential election as well. https://twitter.com/AmericaElige/status/1318322641112018944?s=20 news media isn't liking a constitutional convention tho https://twitter.com/CNNChile/status/1318411695270825984?s=20 quote:WSJ columnist assures that a new Constitution "will probably make the country poorer, more corrupt and less free"

I understand that the amerikan news media is chock full of hosed up little ghouls and goblins, the wall street journal especially so, but "Will a divided opposition give the election to pro-Cuba, cocaine traffickers?" is an evil byline even by their standards
