My brother retired from the foreign service a few years ago. He was assigned to the US embassy in Bolivia. He told me what the condition were like for the common people there. The politically connected elites lived well. The rest, not so much.

Speaking of dumb...
"not so much" ?.......considering the coup is a standard US regime change operation , and that your brother was assigned to the US embassy , this is no substitute for a genuine link that shows Morales was in any way bad for Bolivian people . Nice try , but no cigar. Considering how "well" the US politically connected elites do out of fleecing the US public and economy , it's quite hypocritical . US elites have an intense paranoia about any country that they perceive as being "socialist" , making any progress at all, and consider it their duty to force change for the worse.
That's one way of looking at it. Here's another way: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...olivia/601741/
I don’t get why liberals always see these socialist paradises. There’s not one example of a successful socialist nation, yet they keep holding onto the fantasy.
