Former Bolivian president Evo Morales on his rise to power, the coup which overthrew his government – and why today's election is a fight to restore popular sovereignty.
I hope MAS will learn from this experience (if they manage to recover full state powers) and strengthen the military. Purge reactionaries from positions of authority, teach soldiers political education, and basically do what Venezuela did. This is a historic moment in Bolivia, where the MAS has to decide whether to break away from imperialism by force. Whatever happens I’m here for it.
Absolutely. Educating and politicizing the military along socialist lines has more than anything proven to be the deciding factor in whether these revolutions have survived.
In ML States like China, Cuba, USSR, the military is / was either just a wing of, or entirely controlled by the communist party, and in VZ the military is educated along socialist lines.
