when i heard of this i was like fuck that another shitty wannabe socdem.
but this looks actually big, and right on the empire's porch. is there a catch? there has to be a catch.
the us will try another pinochet wont it? are they prepared to defend themselves?
Lede buried!!!!
The government also signed a decree for the Mexican State to regain full rights over passenger railroads.
By cutting through indigenous land and putting it in charge of the Mexican army who has been contributing to indigenous dispossession.
Tren Maya was amlo ignoring indigenous peoples to build a vanity project. Fuck tren maya.
Also it's more expensive to use than buses, and ignores most tows, so only tourists use it.
But other trains would be cool, there used to be a Guadalajara-Mordor city train, that one would get a lot of use.
what's the difference between "de-privatize" and "nationalize"? is this some weasel word bullshit or did something substantial actually happen here?
Death to America
They were never private. They are run by their respective trade unions, wich in practice work more like medieval guilds, were positions in the company can be inherited, sold, etc.
Sometimes the companies subcontract stuff, and those are awarded to the families of other guild members.
There are also a lot of benefits for high ranking members like I limited free electricity for life. On the other hand if I exceed my allowed use I get fined into space.
There were some reforms made by the libs to make the companies more competitive, by bringing some accountability, but they were mostly half assed. And never did anything. Except annoy the most reactionary sectors in Mexican society, who all support amlo.
This reform doesn't do anything except give them a guarantee that things will stay as they are. Rigthnow Mexico has oil for 15 years or so. And the government invests more money in pemex than it gets out, so it basically is subsidizing the high living standards of high ranking guildsmen.
Death to america, of course
Also remember that "privatization" was coined to describe what the Euro fascists did in their economy. Do deprivatize is essentially antifa
The more that I think about it, the more I like the term "de-privatize". It explicitly lays out that it's a return to what should have been the normal state of affairs.
I think it is because they were nationalized in the past, so it is undoing the later privatization.
We already have many articles saying AMLO was an evil communist dictator. I can't wait until they start calling Claudia an evil dictator too.
Yeah I think I saw a small amount of "oh she's aUtHoriTaRiaN" but it's not widespread. Libs are still focusing on "first woman president" at the moment.
Wow a person with a German last name in LATAM who's actually based? Strange times we live in.
She is Jewish. Her parents came from Bulgaria and Lithuania, to escape the nazis. Weird, but former Brazilian president, Dilma Rouseff, was also Bulgaria and her mom or dad were a member of the Bulgarian Communist Party.
Jews in german speaking nations were only allowed a few jobs so a lot of them have surnames relating to their location. Hence a lot of jewish surnames ending in -baum, -thal or -stein. The non-jews got surnames relating to their profession like Schmidt, Müller and Meier.
Well that’ll cost her 13 freedom points on the Burgerite-Eagleland Institute’s liberty scale.
I may not be Mexican or live in Mexico but she's my president
The US is go-fund-me-ing their assassination attempts nowadays, I think she's safe.
So, uh, besides learning Spanish, what are the immigration requirements for Mexico?
Getting permanent residency its not that hard just time consuming
Like a half dozen years to be a permanent resident, this isn’t the PRC we’re talking about
I see no downsides, and I already speak Spanish well enough to navigate the world. I read it better than I speak it too, which has got to count for some kind of bonus points.
I'm going to have to move back to California lol. There's not many in my pasty ass current state. Least racially diverse place I've lived by far, and it feels weird.
