    Workers seizing an airport to prevent the kidnapping. That’s how it’s done.

    Reminded me of the time, right after the October Revolution, when the Russian bolshevik workers foiled a coup by Kornilov by taking control of all the rail and telegraph stations in Petrograd.

    I wish people just had 1% of the radicalism that these guys have in the west, but as long as our treatlerite faces get stuffed with imperial bounty shit will never happen here :(

      It’s really frustrating to watch how people keep talking about how you just have to vote harder, when we can see a concrete example of how workers actually take power in Bolivia.

        The mass delusion makes me feel like I’m in a zombie movie. Like I’ve explained it, countless times through history we’ve fought this battle. It always goes the same way. Yet they still think they can vote their way out of this.

    For anyone who is in possession of a machine gun, that country feels they have the right to kidnap you.

    Amazing read, and I am indeed shocked that I have seen nothing about it in the news.

      I’ve only heard whispers on lemmy and Reddit. This is the first journalism I’ve seen. I love Bolivia and I’ve always wanted to go. The salt flats alone are something everyone should see. Now I can’t show my American face there :( those poor people.

      The west tries to hush up actual popular resistance while magnifying color revolutions. That’s a good litmus test to see that yes, this is genuine popular resistance.
