Impressive. It only took a few pages for the thread to go off the rails and descend into yet another round of capitalism/fascism/fuedalism/socialism/communism mud throwing. Throw in anarchism, and we're all set.

Given the subject of this thread that would’ve been inevitable in any argument about this topic including people from varied ideologies. This isn’t surprising.

The Bolivian coup was literally christofascists backed by foreign capitalists deposing an elected self-proclaimed socialist. So this is very much on the rails.

So, apparently the OAS sorted the timestamps used in its analysis of the Bolivian election alphabetically rather than chronologically. Words fail.

And the OAS is still defending their results?

It doesn't matter whether you're right, it matters whether you can swing public opinion into believing you're right.

Defying reality will probably mean there's shit to pick up elsewhere or down the line, but that'll be someone else's problem.

I expect the regime will attempt to say something different, but Evo's party seems to have won rather resoundingly.

We can all deal with the devil I think.

Least in this case, the deal seems to have paid off.

No worse than signing trade deals with the United States, really.
???

Look what happened when China got our trade deals, or Mexico, or South Korea, or Taiwan, their GDPs increased, not decreased.

Edit: Chile as well.

Edit2: Japan too.
