A year ago in the midst of the U.S.-backed military coup in Bolivia, left-wing mayor Patricia Arce was captured, beaten, had paint thrown on her, her hair chopped off and was paraded through the streets by right-wing thugs who wanted to intimidate supporters of Evo Morales and the Movement Towards Socialism.
Yesterday, she was elected Senator.
Western leftist is part of their picture of the far left. The western leftist manages to be both a weak wristed soyboy who swoons at the thought of violence and an unhinged violent nutcase knocking the shit out of brave old boys with flags. An uneducated fuckwit nuckledragging mouthbreather prole and an overeducated college ponce.
It's basically a bullshit deflection of genuine criticism of American foreign policy. It's about as nuanced a take as Team America.
