It will definitely not be rigged against MAS or just be delayed forever
I don't think his supporters are armed well enough to fight the fascists
These aren't the trots that are supporting the coup government are they? I'm guessing they're not very relevant as literal Posadists.
Edit: I see now that they're defunct. Or are they? Maybe they're biding their time amongst the dolphins
The problem there is that they have no weapons to fight a civil war. There's no USSR in the world today to ship in a tonne of weaponry and it's unlikely others are going to be willing to do that.
The sooner the USA forces decoupling with China, the sooner it can get foreign policy that’s less dogshit.
If China starts arming groups engaged in anti-imperialist struggles we will have officially entered the cool-zone.
I suspect they do not want to do this until they've overthrown the hegemony. It will be far easier to do it and win from the position of global #1 power than from the #2 space.
They also need global force projection in order to do it. You can't exactly fly a load of weapons out there without a base to land them at. I did notice recently that they're deploying new bases in Africa, so perhaps that's for future plans? That or simply to deter the incoming proxy wars the US intends to start there.
If MAS wins, and Evo eventually becomes president again, I really fucking hope he learned his lesson. After Chávez went through his coup shit, he formed citizen councils which eventually became armed colectivos.
Pretty sure Castro told Allende, "you gotta get your people strapped up, America is a fuck and will either kill you and your people or find local people that will and the USSR ain't coming to rescue you." (probably in a much more eloquent way lol).
The citizens councils already existed, they were called Bolivarian Circles and it's one of the reasons why the coup failed. Evo won't become President again, he was seeking to run for a Senate position, but the coup regime have blocked this from happening.
They will figure out some way to make sure MAS stays out of power. The coup wasn't about Evo it was about MAS.
Bolivia's MAS will win the upcoming elections in the first round
Upcoming elections? I don’t see any upcoming elections.
If MAS falls short of 40% by a few points, anyone know how the other parties are likely to vote? Like are they all similar enough right wing parties that they would consolidate behind the other candidate?
poll doesn't show undecided voters so it's hard to know
that said, mesa, camacho and añez are all right-wingers (ok, mesa is more like a centrist, but we all know where that center is going) and together they hold over 50%
