I really do have rats in my walls though. Old building and all.
I’ve got one too and there’s a weird bad smell in the apartment now and I think it died in the wall 😶
Disclaimer: officially, Castillo has not yet won.
By my maths, he has won; Fujimori needs 75% of the remaining vote to win. That is c. 159,000 votes out of a remaining c. 210,000 votes.
Edit: 77%. c. 155k of c. 199k remaining
Edit: 81%. c. 150k of 185k remaining
Based on the information available from here.
Remember he’ll still have to deal with vote manipulation accusations, the inevitable CIA coup, a year of an intern government, another election, sanctions, an assassination attempt or two, etc.
i think that only happens if the government that's in place while the votes are being counted is left wing. so basically if he wins reelection. i assume the current government is neolib or is the current government left wing too?
Just heard on the news:
"We are getting word now that Hexbear is projecting Castillo as the winner, though we are still waiting to hear from TeleSur, CNN, and the Associated Press among others. Our internal analysts are closely monitoring the incoming results, but also have not projected a winner yet."
Also in that link, under Ámbito, remember to click on "TODOS" not "PERÚ".
Might be my fault, I was spreading the wrong link earlier. You want to look at all the data, not just domestic votes
Including the international votes
96.43% of the 2021 Peruvian Presidential Election vote is counted.
50.288% is for Castillo ✏️
49.712% is for Fujimori 🇰
Castillo has a lead of 98,170 votes.
Of the estimated 630,000 valid votes remaining, Castillo needs only 220,000 to win
Voids are only counted if they can swing it. The hanging chad votes were technically marked void even though the voter wasn't doing it intentionally.
If the margin is 1% and there are 5% voids, they could probably do something in the court to audit the voids and see if any of them were just poorly filled out but clearly voting for someone.
Then again, using the hanging chads as evidence kinda shows how arbitrary it is when it gets to that point.
The hanging chad Castillo vote vs the hanging virgin Fujimori vote
Doupt there is many people left atually organized under some Shinning Path party line to seethe anymore
The ones that are left are the most mad you can possibly be.
the fuck is up with them? why would this be a bad thing for the proletariat movment?
They seem like they're trying to apply Mao's class analysis of China in the 1930s towards Peru today
I mean they were actually pretty successfull and actualy not that far from taking power if they didnt go balls to the wall with some horrible massacres and just straight up stupid shit. Nothing in Mao says "just butcher a village cause you have suspicions people from it helped/backed the government and then lose your popular support" .
Applying Maoist People's War and the Mass line in different conditions has been more successfull and went further than 99% of leftist approaches post wwII. The fact that SP still had an open road to take power if they didnt completely shit the bed shows that the problem wasnt "Mao's class analysis". Put a more competent maoist revolutionary group like the Naxalites in their place and Peru probably has a successfull revolution
Which Maoist groups had a successful revolution post WWII though (besides Mao)?
Seriously curious, the only ones I can think of aligned more with standard Marxism-Leninism than Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_war
They even took the USSR's side in the sino soviet split
Does that make their methods any less Maoist? Nepal and China are big obvious ones tho
They definitely used revolutionary ideas developed from Mao, but that really falls under standard Marxism-Leninism with influence from Mao Zedong thought.
"Maoism" usually refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism which wasn't a thing before Mao died. I think the shining path were the first to call themselves Maoists
debating what maoism is should be left to actual maoists. I'm just pointing out that "maoist style revolutions since WWII" include Vietnam, China, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, etc. all successful.
Sure they borrowed from Mao's tactics definitely, but none of those states would identify as Maoist except maybe Nepal
No definitely not. They even took the USSR's side in the sino soviet split
Hmm, it certainly seems that Maoism has been an effective torch for colonized groups non the less though
i think its about him not planning to free Gonzalo or lessen his sentence? Also contrarianism.
Even the remaining Shining Path militias hate Gonzalo, it's only wierd westerners seething.
A red Latin America within our lifetimes.
Death to the U.S empire. :lenin-laugh: :che-cigar:
The US state department disagrees with the people of Peru. As they see it, there is only one legitimate ruler of Peru... :guaido-despair:
