Bolivian Politics Seeking to Build Socialism Detect and Neutralize a U.S. Sponsored Coup. America Has a Long Bloody History of Tampering With the Fate of Free Nations.

In 2005, Bolivian politics were transformed with the election of Evo Morales as President of the Andean nation. Throughout Latin America, indigenous people have historically been at the bottom of the social and political hierarchy, serving the elite.

Nowhere has this been truer than in Bolivia. Evo Morales was the first indigenous person or descendant to be elected to Bolivia’s top office in a country where the majority of the population has been steeped in the hemisphere’s worst poverty, despite a wealth of natural resources.

It is no understatement to say that Morales, a unionist and indigenous man of principles, identified with the people of Bolivia. He is considered a threat to U.S. corporate interests and the corresponding view of the world as a global factory floor/marketplace that exists only to increase the riches of the global ruling elite.

Despite earlier electoral contests, it was not until 1985 that bourgeois electoral democracy began to consolidate in replacing the military dictatorship and a broad range of political parties came to openly function in Bolivian society.

Morales, a peasant leader, entered Bolivian politics in 1995, forming a political party based in ending the U.S. “war on drugs,” a direct assault against the indigenous peasant economy based in the coca leaf.

After participating in the 1997 elections under the Communist led United Left flag (that won 4 legislative seats including one for Morales), Morales’s party become legally recognized as the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) in 1999.

Three years later he would be propelled onto the national stage, becoming a symbol of the confrontation between the fight for indigenous and worker rights going head to head with the exploitative neo-liberal capitalist doctrine and its manifestations in Bolivia.

MORALES BECOMES PRESIDENT

In March of 2002 Morales was expelled from Congress by his “colleagues.”

Morales had denounced the human rights abuses committed by the government of General Hugo Banzer in the Chapare Region from which Morales was elected. Hundreds of police and military officers swarmed the region, seeking to eliminate the crop that provided (and provides) the livelihood for thousands of Bolivian farming families.

That same year Morales ran for President and coming in second place, galvanized the imagination of the indigenous population (60% of Bolivians) across the nation.

MAS began to forge a coalition among indigenous coca leaf cultivators, labor unions and environmental activists

In October of 2003 President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (who had defeated Morales at the ballot box) resigned in the face of coca grower protests that had effectively shut down the country through armed roadblocks of major highways.

Sanchez Lozada had already decimated the national economy as he continued the Clinton Plan, eradicating coca, the nation’s largest cash crop while providing absolutely no alternatives or compensation to the impoverished indigenous peasants for their livelihood. Morales left the barricades to negotiate that constitutional order not be violated and that an orderly power succession would occur, bolstering his popularity.

Two years later, with 54% of the vote, only 10 years since MAS first formed and only 6 years after it was granted legal status, Morales won the presidency.

BOLIVIAN POLITICS THREATENING THE CAPITALIST CABAL

Morales, who within his first year in office began the process of nationalization of natural gas and oil resources, has earned the ire of the Bush Administration at the bidding of the masters of U.S. power.

Anytime an independent nation rises up to reclaim control of it's own sovereignty, the imperialist powers will soon be there to stage a coup and call the leadership dictatorial. The USA is a dictatorship disguised as a Democratic Republic; America is firmly under the control of global elitists who only seek enrichment of the ruling class and impoverishment of the masses.
