The Rise and Fall of Evo Morales | by Jim Shultz
The Rise and Fall of Evo Morales | by Jim Shultz
The end of Morales’s historic presidency has the quality of one of those inkblot tests in which everyone sees what they want to see. The global left, from British Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn to an assortment of foreign intellectuals, immediately denounced what had happened as a military coup, linking it in the public mind to the old, familiar scenes of tanks rolling into South American capitals. Those who have long hated Evo declared it a blow against the evils of socialist dictatorship. But if I learned anything in my time in the country, it is this: nothing is simple in Bolivia, and such was t...

Origins of the Crisis: On the Coup in Bolivia
Was it a coup? Yes. Should people with a preference for emancipatory politics support the coup or oppose it? We can only be against it.

Statement on Human Rights Violations in Bolivia
Evo Morales – the democratically elected President of Bolivia from the MAS party (Movimiento al Socialismo, Movement Towards Socialism) – was forced to resign on November 10, in what many observers view as a coup.

We condemn the violence in the strongest terms, and call on the US and other f...
