"A coup against Evo is a coup against indigenous people."

"My sin was being indigenous, leftist, and anti-imperialist," Evo said

Very important piece by @nick_w_estes on the Bolivia coup, telling a lot of truths not otherwise mentioned in corporate media

"Evo and his party the indigenous-led Movement for Socialism nationalized key industries and used bold social spending to shrink extreme poverty by over half, lowering the country’s Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality, by a remarkable 19%"

"The indigenous-socialist project accomplished what neoliberalism has repeatedly failed to do: redistribute wealth to society’s poorest sectors and uplift those most marginalized. Under Evo and MAS leadership, Bolivia liberated itself as a resource colony"

"Bolivia rebuked imperialist states like the U.S. and Canada by taking the path of resource nationalism to redistribute profits across society.

This was Evo’s crime."

This by @nick_w_estes is by far the best op-ed on the Bolivia coup in corporate media
