Re: [Marxism] Fidel: Chilean oligarchs "tear their clothes" about Bachelet visit to Cuba

Bolivia and Peru were allies against Chile in the War of the Pacific.
Both counties lost territory to Chile (Bolivia it's sea access and
Peru a little nub of territory), not Bolivia to both countries. It
wouldn't be surprising that there is support in Peru, but given that
it annexed roughly a third of Ecuador, one feels little sympathy.
