There is a reason left wing groups must be militant in their operation. The capitalist class will never willingly allow another option to their complete and unyielding control.
If you want to rule, you are gonna need to done violence.
Nothing to do with left or right, this is how power works. Ideology is there to get peasants to die for your “cause” aka desire to rule.
No? The coup was stopped through non-violent resistance and diplomatic pressure. That’s the opposite of what you’re saying.
There’s also a reason most of those militant groups end up with authoritarian leadership… because that capitalist class is usually bankrolling them.
While I agree, the issue is the very moment we become militant we get labeled as “terrorists”. The far-right just gets ignored.
We will always be labeled as terrorists, no matter what we do. The far right is kept as both agents of division to keep the populous separated and as a last ditch ally when society comes together to free itself from the yolk of capital exploitation
Yeah what the fuck is happening here? Anyone have any more context, whether or not you’re from the region?

Looks like the general got fired and he came back to shoot up the place.
Couldn’t find it in English since lets be honest western media lies about what happens in South America, but here’s El Pais in Spanish about it.
Basically he was dismissed since he threatened to arrest Evo Morales who is the former president and a possible future canidate for the president. Morales is a very popular left wing leader who was forced out in 2019, but all western media will tell you is that he is corrupt while denying the legitimacy of the elections he won. Morales is also the first indigenous leader of Bolivia the only majority indigenous South American country I believe which has a lot to do with the opposition to him.
Current government left-leaning and not close friends with US

“Invasion”? Probably too strong a word… but it’s a weird event…
