Anti-imperialism and plurinationalism are the way forward
This is great of course but people shouldnt attach much "anti imperialism" hope on this
Boric program/outlook seems pretty good domesticaly(well good socdem) but he was bashing the communist party and even the socialist party for having solidarity with “authoritarian countries”, saying he won’t recognize Ortega as legitimate president if he wins, saying he will cooperate with the EU to be tough on Maduro and pressure Venezuela and praising the color revolution in Cuba. All of which are more than alarming. Even Chomsky endorsed the communist party over “demsoc/libsoc” Boric in the primaries ,probably for that reason
So it would be cool if that front gets patched up due to the coalition cause its one of the most important regarding aspects for leftism in south america so hopefully the coalition with the socialists/communists will push the front towards good anti imperialist positions (tho as far as i know he said that his foreign policy line is to be adopted). People should be happy he won against a fascist but its not pessimism to say people shouldnt be very hopefull for anything noticably to the left of idk ALMO (looking at Americas) and prepared for a Syriza/Tsipras outcome
I mean yeah like i said people should be happy. A socdem, even with shitty foreign policy takes, winning against a quasi-fascist is a win to be celebrated and a good thing overall. Im just clearing some things up and to have in mind and to not get disappointed in the future by expectations of a actively Leftist anti-imperialist government
While I generally think you should believe people when they say who they are, I'm hoping some of that was just talk to attract the centrists. Either way Chile isn't the actual Evil Empire (:amerikkka:) so I think as long as they keep trade open and good relations with Maduro, Ortega, Diaz-Canel et al, the end result should be fine. Not ideal, but OK.

Leftists can't turn down potential allies. Trading with the USA will lead to coups, trading with Chile, succdems or no, might not.
lmao we posted the same take at the same time
the hexbear hivemind is developing nicely
