Some weirdos think that Foro Sao Paulo is a secret society of evil commies, like the Injustice League or something comical like that. lol.

Henry Wallace

Can you imagine if he had become president after FDR died? There would be no Cold War, which would make all the liberals, Dixiecrats and conservative Republicans very angry, lol.

Also no Korean War or Vietnam War, etc... Germany would probably have reunified in 1950 just like Austria, a neutral country. The space race would have been an unified thing with the Soviets. And early desegregation, and free universal health care.

Foro de São Paulo salutes the 45th Anniversary of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in recognition of the heroic deed of the Nicaraguan people.

Foro de São Paulo repudiates attempts to ban the MAS-IPSP and disqualify Evo Morales from elections.

"To ban brother Evo Morales would be an injustice not only against the historic leader of the Democratic and Cultural Revolution of Bolivia but would also be an affront against the Indigenous Peoples and the Latin American popular movement."

"We reject and condemn the attempted coup that a military faction attempted to perpetrate against Bolivian democracy and President Luis Arce, but which was defeated in a few hours by the responsiveness of the people, the legal and legitimate government and international solidarity."

The democracts have always been like this. Iirc they choose VP Hubert Humphrey over Anti-War Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. Besides Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated. McCarthy had actually won the popular vote during the 1968 Democratic Party presidential primaries but they ignored the results.

The Dark Knight Returns is pretty much a libertarian power fantasy. Batman even allies himself with Green Arrow, even though he is a leftist, because they both hate the goverment lol

Yesterday, minutes after the results of the primaries in Uruguay were announced, Yamandu Orsi and Carolina Cosse, until then opponents, already announced that they ran as candidates on a unitary ticket.

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned Argentine President Javier Milei's meddling in Bolivian internal affairs and stated that Milei wanted to destroy the popular achievements of Latin Americans.

A power struggle in the Bolivian left?

Yes, Evo wants to be president again. Arce wants to continue being president. This has been going for like 2 years now. The MAS party is divided between the Arcistas and Evoistas.

Evo is more left wing within the party, democratic socialist and "radical". Luis Arce is more right-wing within the party, social democrat. They have the same ideals about minorities rights and foreign policy. I don't think Luis Arce is a Comprador, since he seems to really distrust the US, nationalized the lithium and joined the South American Economic Bloc known as Mercosur. Some people, even in the left, say that Evo has a huge ego and doesn't trust anyone to be the president, not even people inside his own party.

I do not believe the coup was fake, even some liberal newspapers said that Arce had nothing to gain from this Coup. Besides, the US and Argentina were weirdly quiet when the coup was happening. I think Evo is just repeating Anti-Arce propaganda because he is currently Arce's main left-wing rival. The General Zuniga had actual plans of establishing a goverment and arresting Arce, Evo and Carlos Mesa (A neoliberal former president and rival of Evo). It was reported that more troops were going to La Paz but stopped on the way because the people and the police arrived in time and General Zuniga fearing his own life, ran away.

I think Evo and Arce will eventually reconcile. They seem to want the same thing for Bolivia. Just like what happened to Lula da Silva and his left-wing rival Marina Silva.

I think he did have some problems because of the smoking, even though I believe cigars a less harmful than cigarettes. Iirc he had some serious problems on his digestive system and went a somewhat dangerous surgery for his age at the time.
