Revolución en Bolivia

  • Bolivia: The key to the Andean revolution
    A revolution is a situation where the masses take their destiny into their own hands. That is precisely what we are witnessing before our very eyes in Bolivia. On Friday 17, Sánchez de Lozada was driven from power. The demonstrators blockaded La Paz and other cities. Soviets were formed in El Alto. Bolivia, South America's poorest and most unstable country, had been paralysed since mid-September by anti-government protests. By Alan Woods and Jorge Martín (October 22, 2003)
    Also in Spanish:
    La Clave de la Revolución Andina

    Toda la región andina es como una pampa después de una larga sequía, una simple chispa puede provocar una conflagración. Todo lo que se requiere es un ejemplo valiente. Si los trabajadores de Bolivia o Venezuela tomaran el poder, toda la situación se transformaría completamente.

  • Bolivia: a mass insurrection overthrows the president
    Finally the mass uprising which has shaken Bolivia for nearly a month has managed to overthrow the gringo Goni as he is known. Faced with a mass mobilisation, which was growing stronger despite the brutal repression which caused more than 80 deaths, finally the US embassy withdrew support from their puppet. The masses must not fall for these manoeuvres. No support for the Mesa government. For a workers and peasants government. By Jorge Martín (October 18, 2003)
    Also in Spanish:
    Bolivia: la insurrección de masas derroca al gringo Goni

    Finalmente la insurrección de masas que sacude Bolivia desde hace casi un mes lograba finalmente derrocar al gringo Goni. Ninguna confianza en el gobierno de Mesa. Por un gobierno de los trabajadores y campesinos. Viva la revolución boliviana. Por Jorge Martín , 18 de Octubre del 2003.

  • Bolivia: the revolution becomes more widespread
    After a day of mourning and of relative calm on Tuesday October 14, the revolutionary movement in Bolivia has continued to grow in strength, boldness, organisation and also to spread further. It is a classic revolutionary situation where elements of dual power now exist, with the masses controlling the streets and the President prisoner in his own residence. By Jorge Martín (October 17, 2003).
    This is the translation of the original Spanish version:
    Bolivia: Se profundiza la revolución  
    Después de un día de luto y calma tensa el martes 14 de octubre, el movimiento revolucionario que sacude Bolivia siguió ganando fuerza, decisión, organización y extensión. Es una situación revolucionaria clásica en la que empiezan a existir elementos claros de doble poder, con las masas controlando las calles y el presidente prisionero en su residencia.. Por Jorge Martín (17 de Octubre de 2003).

  • Bolivia: Between Revolution and Counter-Revolution
    After 12 days the General Strike in Bolivia is still going on. the country is close to a standstill thanks to the road blockades organised by the peasant organisations. All the roads to the capital, La Paz, are under the control of the strikers. One of the most militant sections of the working class, the miners, have taken a leading role, keeping the level of militancy very high. Aníbal Montoya (El Militante-Argentina) analyses the situation.

Hoy, lunes 29, se inicia la huelga por tiempo indeterminado decretada por la Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) y se anuncia el bloqueo total de los caminos y rutas por la COB y las diferentes organizaciones campesinas.
