Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

Evo demands are for Arce to accept Evo back into MAS, somehow convince or force the Bolivian Supreme Court to let Evo ran for president a Fourth (Third if you don't count the 2019 election) time. Remove all "narcos" from the Bolivian goverment (probably replace this people with Evo loyalists).
all of this could have been prevented if Evo had picked a successor, i dont see the supreme court changing its mind anytime soon
I thought Arce was kicked out of MAS
Evo kicked him out, but the same day he kicked Evo out of MAS. Let me explain this better, Evo invited Arce, and his VP, to a party meeting. Arce and his VP didn't go, Evo used that to say that Arce and his VP are no longer members of MAS because they didn't go to the meeting, and on the same meeting they kicked out 28 MAS MPs and voted Evo as the 2025 presidential candidate.
Evo said that Arce and the Arcists weren't kicked out but rather resigned from their party membership because they didn't go to the party meeting. Arce said that was bullshit and kicked Evo out of the party, the party split into two, but the two parts claim to be the same party and vote together against the right-wing parties but they have different presidential candidates for the 2025 elections.
The funniest thing is had the USSR and communism won in the 20th century, stuff would have been better but there would have been of lot of this situation and Nepals, across the globe. Multiple socialist parties calling each other liberal opportunists.
Yep. As soon as the first pink tide started in Latin America, the socdem/demsoc parties that won the elections immediatly began having infighting and splited into more parties (mostly because all these parties had many factions inside it, be it pro-soviet, pro-china, trot, hoxhists, anarchists, liberals, pro-native, pro-military, etc...). I think what he would have seen a lot if the Soviets had won, is a bunch of moderate conservatives and liberals change to more leftist politics and ally with left-wing parties, like what happened in Honduras.
that sounds like an absolute nightmare for the electoral authorities
Iirc The Supreme Court of Bolivia recognizes Arce as the MAS presidential candidate and his MP as the leader of MAS, but they also recognizes Evo as a member of MAS just not the leader, and he can't be a presidential candidate because he has reached the term limit in Bolivia.
