I’ve been staking my position on Bolivia’s people bringing down Paz in short order. Let’s see!

You’re way too XHS-pilled. All the major global trade changes this year have been to the US’s clear detriment. BRI is in no way defused. Mass exporting of cheap dollar is enabling development independent of the oil empire.

How does he compare to Petro politically?

They can probably easily win an election with this coalition. Only UML is outside of this, and they are the ousted ruling party. Hopefully this produces long term unity and they actually do some fucking socialism. If they get in office and fuck around buddying up with the US and doing market bullshit, they’re just gonna open the door back up to NGO society color revolution.

I think they’re in no rush. They know they have no popular support for war and no strategic plan, but they also know they need to take down Venezuela. Doing so is critical for the persistence of American capitalism.

Stephen Miller would’ve showed him and said they were real

Some of his most racist and delusional shit in a little while

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net and others discuss weakening Chinese domestic consumption and the importance of their trade surplus to the status quo

They’re giving every troop $1776. Gotta shore up support with the rank and file before big actions.

Not even a specifically Maoist thing, the entire Leninist tradition recognizes the revolutionary potential of segments of the national bourgeoisie.

For context, Grenada is 1/30th the population and 1/50th the land area of Caracas metro alone.

Intense pessimism about the masses, contrary to data, thinking oneself so politically superior that engagement is impossible and defeat is inevitable is another type of liberalism.

It’s also an intensification of the siege

if they are supporting it now.

But they aren’t. The boat strikes are unpopular.

Actual war is enormously unpopular.

Honestly, I suspect a lot of Westerner leftists support China because they secretly enjoy the cheap goods from China, and not really support the Chinese workers to get the fair share of their own labor.

I think almost every Western leftist is exhausted by the flow of cheap, socially useless commodities and would prefer much less of that shit be imported. Anti-consumerism is usually the very first seed of anti-capitalism in the States because it’s the most obvious. Our society is religiously obsessed with consumption that makes our lives hollow and provides nothing of value. We are surrounded by an incomprehensible, unending whirlwind of advertising that makes us fucking bonkers. This is shit teenagers understand.

she’s lucky the US didn’t missile strike her fishing boat

It’s a soft af force outside of the special ops death squads

With the political backslide countries like Bolivia have seen, I think something more Bolivarian in character may be neccesary

For sure. The mass revolutionary movement with military support using an electoral victory to entrench power is the best demonstrated strategy in LatAm so far. It’s close to what’s worked in Nicaragua, although their progress towards socialism is much less thorough than Venezuela’s. Bolivia was the next closest, and the mass organization and support outside of the electoral arena is why MAS’s power lasted so long and got so much done. But without the true seizure of state power that the Bolivarian Revolution achieved, it was always vulnerable to this shit.
