¿A question about Bolivia?
Submitted by Petrichencko on Sun, 2008-09-21 12:37
Hello comrades. A have read the text about Bolivia, but I am not clear what do you think exactly about. If there were an authentical Revolutionary Party in Bolivia, which must be their position?:
A) May be, crithical support to Evo in front of reactionary oligarcs and "autonomists", but maintinining of course class independence, and not feeding ilusions on the "socialist" character of Evo goverment.
B) Or may be, no taking part for Evo nor reactionaries. Only participating in reivindication of working class. This would be a "equal-distance" politics between Evo and open reactionaries.
I expect you would clear me your position: I'm not clear which of them is the correct, and your wiew must be an orientation of high degree of credibility for me.
Revolutionary Salutes.

The IBRP does not support any faction of capital.
the IBRP does not support Evo Morales.
Nor Chavez, or any number of charlatans who refer to socialism, anti-capitalism and the like but do not share the basic perspectives of revolutionary Marxism.
International revolution/ rejection of socialism in one country/ necessity of smashing the capitalist state/ the necessity of class-wide organs of rule (workers councils)/the necessity of an international revolutionary party...
If any IBRP member contradicts me on this issue, I would have to seriously consider leaving the IBRP.
But I am confident. The IBRP are great Marxists.
In Bolivia itself amongst the
In Bolivia itself amongst the working class (even amongst those who voted for the MAS) there are many who do not trust any of the capitalist factions and with good reason. Every populist politician has promised to change the situation of the exploited but then followed the usual clientilismo (i.e. distributing a few fruits from the system amongst immediate supporters). The story is always the same. Cien anos de mentiras. Many have talked of "socialism" even but have not even delivered a reformed capitalism. Our task is both to stand for internationalism against both imperialism and populism and give the potentially independent struggles in Bolivia both our solidarity and a real banner around which to fight. Obviously if we ere present onthe ground in Bolivia this would not preclude a more concrete political activity (around precisely the second option Petrichenko outlined) oriented at those elements who are already showing signs of class independence.
