Bolivia’s election of the center-right Rodrigo Paz Pereira marks the end of the MAS’s nearly 20-year rule. As MAS self-destructed, Paz appealed to an urban middle class that expanded as the Left achieved historic reductions in poverty and social inequality.
I understand. Honestly, that piece for me was sort of a watershed moment. There are two main threads that run through every form of leftism all across the world: opposition to the far right and worker solidarity. If you can’t bring up the decency to do that, what am I even doing on your site?
I respect that you have a different relationship to the site and are willing to adopt a more nuanced stance. I am definitely not there. There might come a day where I’m able to see the words “Jacobin magazine” without adding “the totenkopf apologia site” in my head, but that is not today.
So, like any good online leftist, I’m posting though it and making it y’all’s problem ;)
