Michael meant a lot to me. I learned so much and he turned me into a proper leftist, which eventually lead me to read Lenin, and others. I never met him but I consider him a huge part of my life, even if for a few hours a week. Rest In Peace, brother.

Apparently the assassin was found dead… Not suspicious at all. https://twitter.com/nightline/status/1285249687654748166?s=21

I’m sure that MAS isn’t universally loved, but given what they had with Evo, they’re starting to think “maybe it wasn’t so bad.”

All good points. My only thing is, even if the American electoral system is bourgeoisie, which it is, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it. Fascists WILL use the electoral system, and if communists and socialists and anarchists don’t, they’ll be giving up power that they could have used.

In my opinion, elections are a small, small part of a larger mission of change. For liberals, electoralism is everything, and there is nothing else. For me, it’s like going to the store. One small part, and while that one part sucks, it’s still a road to power.

Well, they’ve been protesting a lot and as a result, the government has been using that military on them. If the OAS does something, I’d think it’ll escalate into some kind of conflict.

In my opinion, there’s no way, if MAS wins, that Anez will recognize the results. They’ve already tried to criminalize the movement for socialism in Bolivia and she’s ruling with military might. Hopefully the MAS candidate wins, but I’m pessimistic about the whole thing.
