yes, the supreme court exists to examine the legality of legislation, and it decided that term limits are undemocratic (which they are, inherently). Evo won the election so right-wingers like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio orchestrated his downfall.

Y'all are really arguing over the role of trade unions like 1988/89 didn't already happen, smh. trade unions, even large ones, can absolutely hold counter-revolutionary positions; look up "Solidarity" in Poland.

Yeah I guess . Just not sufficient evidence to convince me at this point. Now we’ll see if the National Assmbly sets up a transition government and calls for new elections

There won't be any elections with Evo, they know they'll lose, that's why they had the military get involved in the first place.

Iirc it was the coup in 1954 against Arbenz that helped radicalize Che, these types of things really expose bourgeois democracy for the sham that it really is.

Playing by the rules of liberal democracy will get you killed by the same people who claim to uphold those rules if you're not also playing by the rules of capital.

Evo's part

Damn, Cuba needs a leader with Camilo type charisma and Fidel size balls with a good heart and brain to make it through this era

OP should have essential leftist texts as well as a way to find local orgs (DSA, unions, etc)

yeah op been needing an update... ill try to fix it as soon as im not exhausted

off topic but is there a thread designated for progressives/lefties or is this it? @Scratchin_Bandit @Synopsis

Idk what exactly you would mean with progressive, but yeah this is a thread for socialists

hmmm like supporting lgtbq+ rights, minority/indigenous rights, womens right, anti imperialism, anti fascist etc. etc.

Then I'd you're probably at the right place

I think CNT is a great example of this, it has been one the biggest labor unions of the world, and it has never sold out it gets 0 money by the government and it has been promoting social movement since the 1910s, Spain has a problem with labor unions being a puppet of government and CNT it's the only big one that has still been independent . I think that nowadays with the state of most communist parties, the only way to do activism is trough labor unions even if they aren't communists

Bernie is the only way to go.

Universal health care proposed in week one. And it would cost less than our current health care system.

Students loan debt erased

And a guy who actually sticks to his morals

yeah I mean, communists support all of these things

yeah i've just ran into some people in america who claim to be progressive and/or left wing and still believing in capitalism. That's all

Excuse me for the strange question, but do you have the painting of a world leader in your room?
