i like that the op ignore the mass protests in bolivia, the class between the MAS supporters and the military, the arming of the protesters, that MAS is an actual labour party that actually cares about is people, and most importantly MAS organized the protests instead of denouncing them, link

    the main critism of this take, is that is saying both bolivia and the USA are the same ignoring the material reality of both, if you want to vote in the US election i wont criticize you , but to think voting out fascism in a country that has slowly become a social fascist state since 2000 and only throught just one presidential election is a lib take

      Oh I agree, my point is that circumstances are different enough in the US and Bolivia that they can't really be compared. And we will definitely never be allowed to vote out fascism or vote for socialism here in the US. I'm not voting for Biden or Trump but I do want to vote to give the middle finger to Uber/Lyft as well as support workers rights, as well as get rid of the loophole that lets a lot of commercial real estate owners (landlords basically) get away with basically paying very little tax.
