Anti-imperialism and plurinationalism are the way forward
We’ve seen lots of Boric types regularly win executive office throughout LAmerica and proceed to acquiesce to American power. Leaders must be held to the standard of Maduro, Morales, and maybe Lula for anything significant to change.
lula doesnt quite belong in a list of stalwart leaders who’d never acquiesce to their right lol…. maduro and morales, god bless them, are not that caricature either. we’re still talking about people and parties elected to administer the bourgeois state. the expectations built around these movements can get out of hnd. chile is undergoing a profound reform process that boric will be responsible for ratifying. he’s entering government with a socialist-communist coalition that we can expect, or demand, a substantial dignification of people’s lives from
yeah the elected president has answered the wrong thing to questions about protests in cuba before. thats too bad! people need to chill with their preemptive catastrophizing, especially as we’re entering an era of interamerican socdem cooperation. boric is now an important piece of one of the most promising and farthest reaching latin american political movements in decades. his coalition offers possibilities that the victories in mexico, peru, nicaragua, etc havent arrived to yet (and without the burden of the crises in venezuela and argentina!), way beyond what zelaya was to honduras in 2009 but we were still pretty fucking happy when xiomara won (in an alliance with the right! just like amlo, just like lula, and unlike boric - who daringly spurned the right wing 3rd place candidate days before the election!), weren’t we?
i was skeptical of him as a candidate too, partially based on the peru experience where his “caviar” equivalent (vero mendoza) fell apart, and here there wasnt a castillo to pick up the pieces. but guess what? he won and with a pretty fucking strong mandate. we got the constituent assembly. its a great, exciting victory for chile
