Please communist revolution for once this time
This seems more like a spontaneous uprising because everyone hates this dude, not much organised socialist involvement from what I’ve seen sadly. Ecuador is a little more interesting in that regard.
yeah this is a mass uprising of most of society. There’s no economy anymore, people are cooking with wood in the streets because there’s no gas, no electricity to run factories. Things look desperate. The unions seemed to be involved though, which might give the protests some working class direction, but unless some magic leftcom spontaneous class consciousness happens I don’t think this will be a communist revolution.
what?!? heard he got stopped at the airport, how’d he escape
Yeah the liberals have largely co-opted it from what I’ve heard and it seems like the Western media has been successful in pinning the blame on China. We’ll see if the new government immediately runs into the benevolent arms of the International Community or tries to be like India and play both sides.
Pretty sure this is going to be a western-aligned outcome. I recall when this first kicked off the BBC and other mainstream news outlets were on it very quickly and immediately began news implying that it was a good thing. That hasn’t changed which points towards western world still believing its in their interests in my opinion.
