Bolivia has been a favorite host-target of Sandalista parasites for years and years. Because no news organization ever cared about this country, it was they who framed the news and the debate about what was really going on in Bolivia.

They tell us Bolivia’s just a simple story of the rich oppressing the poor, all elites and businesses being bad, (especially if they are from Santa Cruz), U.S.-style racism holding people back, all Indians monolithically seeking populism, all Indians dirt poor because whites took their money away, all syndicates – syndicates! – in places like El Alto these noble representatives of The People (which justifies anything they do), individuals of no importance, Giant Corporations and foreign investors the enemy, the need for Evo Morales as a solution, and how communism (under some new euphemism of course!) will solve everything. Once that happens, they can jet back to comfortable Berkeley to write more grants and then think up some other country to target for their ministrations.

This dazzling essay from a British blogger questions these Sandalista truisms and debunks them soundly. Read it here.
