    I could not even think of Evo Morales leading my country... blockades, strikes and Chavez visiting all the time.

    Stop Evo, vote for Tuto.

    SI Podemos!!

  4. A couple more notes on this story:

    Canadian Socialist Jeffery R. Weber traces the background of this story in the Monthly Review, albeit from a left-of-center perspective.

    From the right, The American Thinker laments the 'reappearance of communism in South America'.
