Re: [Marxism] Roger Burbach on Bolivia

[dave.walters@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I think it's important to add the URL for the Bolivia Rising Blog that Roger 
writes for:

http://boliviarising.blogspot.com/

The sitution there, with physical attacks on the now MAS-only Constituent 
Assembly is critical. 
The potential for the country to fly appart (the goal of the Oligarchy and US 
imperialism) is quite 
real, with only the workers and peasant organizations defending the unity of 
the Bolivian nation. This 
has won over large sections of the military who also have a keen interest in 
keeping the country in one piece.

The former "2/3 majority" vote is now going out the window, with a simple 
majority now needed 
to approve constitutional changes. There is a serious movement to move the CA 
back to La Paz 
where the most radicalized sections of the Bolivian people live, as Roger 
points out. This is a 
MAJOR BATTLE folks...perhaps bigger than what is going on in Venezuela 
tomorrow...at least it is 
as accute as the situation in Caracas.
