Keeping this point on gulag vs US prisons alive is very good.

Freedom, for whom?

There are a lot of anti-capitalist people who call themselves liberals because they have not realised that they should be calling themselves communists.

Like a shitload of them.

The barrier is permission and brainworms.

I think “kids” here could be being used to apply to anyone below the 27 year old conscription age.

There is sabotage occurring openly in Ukraine now. They’re playing it off as “kids are being paid” but I strongly question that explanation.

What are the takes on the Evo/Arce split in Bolivia at the moment?

I ask because I’ve not kept up with it and encountered a very different take that seems worth investigation?

spoiler

Evo Morales is just acting stupid. I used to have a lot of respect for the guy until he started calling Arce a neoliberal (lol) and actively committing blockades so he could fuck the economy.

He’s a detriment to the left at this point.

Arce was Evo’s minister, and he has been a Marxist since he was a child. Unlike Arce, Evo Morales has no knowledge of socialist economics. He has been acting very narcissistically.

What happened was that Evo’s faction disavowed him because he wanted to run for another term. According to Evo, if he can’t run, he will tear everything down.

Arce has been a student of scientific socialism and the great Bolivian socialist Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz. He has made his Marxist aspirations known and has always commemorated Marx yearly: https://x.com/luchoxbolivia/status/1787207660154028151?s=46 The Bolivian people already didn’t want Evo to run for another term, but the Supreme Court circumvented it so he could, which then gave an excuse to the fascist right to commit a coup: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Bolivian_constitutional_referendum

Arce has proposed a referendum to decide if former presidents can run for another term, which Evo has called a coup (lol).

He’s, unfortunately, only a tool for the right at this point.

Edit: Evo has even attacked his former VP, García Linera who is a communist and a former rebel for rightfully critiquing Evo Morales for being the one mostly pushing the split on the left: https://x.com/evoespueblo/status/1808519895224631360?s=46 García Linera was incredibly loyal too. It just shows how Evo is attacking anyone who isn’t a complete dog to him

If two sides are driven to physically fighting it is a good sign that they are at least not collaborating and laughing about that collaboration amongst themselves at their dinner parties.
