Yeah that's great for you man. Top kek and all that. Mad bants you're winning the Internet. Bolivia isn't a communist country and Morales isn't a communist though. And not in the way your meme implies as in he doesn't believe things that are fundamental to being a communist.

They definitely had absolutely no connection to him or his party, yeah? Absolutely no way that it would taint their rulings in the future. They just dropped out of space into their seats in the court.
Show me a country that lives up to these standards.

eh sometimes it's too easy. I don't want to turn this into a sport.

Why though. Why is it even relevant. Why would I need to dig this up, I could just remind myself of any US bashing thread and divert your attention to the many infographics there praising the ground some European countries walk on.

Then why do you hold courts not being demonstrably 100% unbiased as something against one particular country?

Well, no.

Imagine the USA lost a war, and its surrender demanded it sign a treaty where its people were forcibly disarmed and refused the right to own guns. The penalty for noncompliance would be for its enemy to smash it back to the stone age.

Would we really propose that the US government would say it could not sign such a treaty because it was unconstitutional? Or that it signed the treaty, and the Supreme Court promptly struck it down as unconstitutional? I would say surely not. The circumstances would clearly demand that the treaty supercede the second amendment, and I'll bet you the Constitution, somewhere, makes allowances for that to be done.
Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957)

"No agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution"

Granted, this is an extremely unlikely hypothetical.

Article 6 specifically.

"All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.


This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding."

Forgive me for not even clicking "jacobinmag". I'm well aware you subscibe to communist cesspools that will tell you exactly what you want to believe.
This is not an argument.

Well of course.

Can't have a socialist economy do well because socialist economies never do well. The CIA makes sure of that

Cochabamba train? I bet he means the trams they wanted to make. The cable-cars in La Paz are absolutely incredible. I loved the city's red-brick visage, even though you could see it in most of the industrial/poorer areas, it's much more prominent from a bird's eye. BTW those infrastructure projects all had "cooperation with EU" and "cooperation with UN" all over them, Morales essentially ran on connecting flung out villages to the rest of the country. You'd be riding a bus in the middle of nowhere and then notice the road gets significantly better and there's a freaking sign that says this was the result of cooperation with the EU, then right next to it the massive smiling face of Morales. Dude knew how to campaign.

The neighborhood is somewhere I visited via the cable-car, there was a huge flea-market there twice a week where you'd be luck to find the phone some bloke stole from you the other day.
