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: first balance-sheet of the
insurrection - A revolutionary party was missing
After overthrowing the hated Goni, the workers of Bolivia have drawn one main
conclusion: the workers, peasants, oppressed nations and impoverished middle classes, did
not wrest power from the ruling class because they still do not have a revolutionary
party. By Jorge Martín (October 20, 2003)
Also in Spanish:
Bolivia: primer balance de la
insurrección - "Faltó un partido revolucionario"
Después de derrocar al odiado Goni los trabajadores del país, sacaron una conclusión
principal: los obreros, campesinos, naciones oprimidas y clases medias empobrecidas no le
arrebataron el poder a la clase dominante porque no cuentan aún con un partido
revolucionario. Por Jorge Martín, 20 de Octubre del 2003.

- 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.
See the original in Spanish: Bolivia: Entre
la revolución y la contrarrevolución
En Bolivia la situación es altamente explosiva. 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. Es el deber de los revolucionarios orientar su atención hacia lo que ocurre
en este país andino. Por Aníbal Montoya ( 27 de Septiembre del 2003).
