And the same military that was used to kill protesters last year didn’t exactly go anywhere
That's why you arm the people and execute the generals.
hang the fuckers in the town square.

Yeah I would think <1 year is nowhere near enough time to get a full sale of a large government-owned entity done.
Could they not just... renege on the IMF deal? Just say fuck off we aren't paying? What would the consequences be? I'm assuming sanctions at the least and possibly direct military intervention at the worst.
And then just renationalize anything sold off without monetary compensation? It would have the double purpose of hamstringing future would-be privatizers (no one will want to buy if a year later they'll nationalize it back) as well as preserving nationalized industries.
They have a majority in their legislature, and I think Ecuador(?) was pushed by protesters to not pay of their IMF loan (or maybe just part of it), so maybe they could get away with it.
Could they just give back the money they were loaned?
The state department literally today posted about how they're trying to bring democracy to every country in the Bolivarian union of states that has been weakened recently by the Bolivian coup and the super weird situation in Ecuador where the past socialist guy's VP ended up governing as a centrist.
The first thing Bolivia needs to do is rejoin and push for the org to create a major expansion of funding for telesur English with the goal of that being the top primary leftist media source in the US. Where tbh, I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that PSL already has a meaningful established relationship with this party given well known connections between their leadership and cuban leadership.
Any word if they'll rescind Morales' exile? It would be nice if he could return to his home.
