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!!

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'.

Hi Boli-Nica! No accusation of a hidden agenda, I just didn't know much about the center. Great site!
