Socialism and Castroism. Whatever suffering the Bolivian people are about to endure, they brought it on themselves. Perhaps one day they'll cease from drinking the collectivist kool aid.

Well put. I call it populism, its the default philosophy that permeates the society. It has various left and right manifestations, but it always comes back to the same. Dirigiste economies, economic stagnation, and endemic corruption. Each government overthrowing the previous one, and then resorting to the same solutions again and again ad infinitum.
