Glad someone else made this thread, i couldn't be bothered weeks ago.
Did someone clip the protestor on DW saying he was the proletarian vanguard? That was pretty based.

>>2839899
Evo Morales isn’t the popular leader he used to be, he’s not coming back

>>2839907
He literally wrecked the last MAS government for his own ego, not that Arce was great but what Evo did alienated everyone

Communism plsss

>>2839946
In a landlocked peasant economy with no way to defend itself from America? Are you fucking stupid?

>>2839908
it was 5D chess, MAS was limiting the real movement, it had to be wrecked to open the way to the DOTP that will come

Say what you want about Evo, but one of the greatest achievement of Bolivian workers and peasants was their ability to construct a movement that survived his political demise.

For me it’s all the ski lifts as public transportation in La Paz, pretty genius urban planning

>>2840268
Idk if you could call these guys communists but at the very least they're a great example of a militant, well organized proletariat and peasantry. More socialists should study the success of the Bolivian workers and peasants in organizing themselves.

>>2840299

That was in the 1950s revolution that led the MNR to power

Latin America has always been one of the most communist heavy regions on Earth. Even their Catholics get the commie bug down there.

State of Emergency declared.

Bolivia's Paz declares state of emergency to break protest gridlock
LA PAZ, June 20 (Reuters) - Bolivia’s political and social crisis intensified on Saturday as President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency, enabling ​wider military deployment to clear blockades and restore order amid protests that have brought the economy to a halt over the past 50 ‌days.

Addressing the nation early Saturday morning, Paz said anti-government blockades were no longer a social protest but an organized attempt to destabilize Bolivia's democracy.

"There comes a moment when failing to act ceases to be prudence and becomes irresponsibility. And that moment has arrived," Paz said, promising the measure would protect citizens and ensure the flow of essential goods, while warning that those ​continuing disruptions would face legal consequences.

Some opposition lawmakers have warned the emergency measure could further ratchet up tensions, while analysts and legal experts have also said the emergency ​powers could deepen unrest if they lack public support and fail to address underlying causes of protests.

Paz made the announcement just hours after he unveiled a deal struck on Friday with the main union, the Bolivian Workers’ Confederation (COB), that aimed to ease tension.
However, many roads connecting the South American nation's main production center are under the control of rural associations aligned with Morales, ​who were not a part of the negotiations and are continuing to protest mainly in the area of Cochabamba.

Congress cleared a path for the emergency declaration in ​May when it repealed a law that had set limits on the executive branch's use of emergency orders and was seen as favoring labor unions and social organizations.

While the order ‌goes into ⁠effect immediately, the president must notify Congress of the state of emergency within 24 hours of issuing the decree, which then has up to 72 hours to approve or reject the measure.
"This is not a state of emergency to restrict people’s lives … It is a state of emergency to give freedom back to the people, to free Bolivia from those who use political conflict to block roads and harm the population," Paz said.

<ROOTS OF THE UNREST
The conflict initially erupted after Paz abruptly cut ​long-standing fuel subsidies to shrink the deficit, ​amid a worsening dollar crunch and ⁠talks with the International Monetary Fund. Despite later steps to stabilize fuel prices and reverse unpopular land reforms, protests intensified into broader discontent, with unions demanding wage increases, an end to fuel and dollar shortages, and Paz’s resignation.
Paz has been ​in power for just seven months, after nearly two decades of governments under the leftist Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), headed ​by Morales, who governed ⁠Bolivia from 2006 to 2019.
Under Bolivian law, a president can be subject to a recall referendum after completing two and a half years in office.
Paz, who took office with the backing of President Donald Trump as part of a broader strategy to increase U.S. influence in the hemisphere, has blamed Morales - a towering figure of the left ⁠who governed ​for nearly 14 years - for stoking the unrest.
Morales has backed the protest movement, called for early ​elections and cast the unrest as resistance to Paz's economic policies. In an exclusive interview with Reuters this week, Morales denied any role instigating dissent, saying the “indigenous rebellion” was driven by economic hardship.

You got it backwards, it's one of the most catholic places on earth, and the teachings of jesus is what makes sudacas sympathetic to """communism""", or rather, the desire for a more humane and egalitarian (I know) society.

That the owners of most of latam are some of the biggest ghouls in human history kinda helps stir the pot too.

no frog suits = no revolutionary potential
