Like all dictatorships, every socialist hellhole dictatorship eventually falls. It's a law of nature, and with socialism inherently unsustainable as both a political and an economic system, it's a law about as certain as 'what goes up, must come down.'
Which brings us to Bolivia, where embattled far left Hugo-Chavez-trained socialist dictator Evo Morales, now on his fourth term in a grossly rigged election, has for the first time wobbled in fear in response to protests.
Here's the New York Times' comically delicate reportage:
Faced with unrelenting protests over the results of disputed elections in which he claimed victory, President Evo Morales of Bolivia announced on Sunday that he would call new elections.

And those elections will be just as rigged. Commies never give up power willingly. They have a mandate from the masses, don’cha know?
Yet the Left keeps selling socialism and the ignorant and gullible keep buying it.
Has to make room for Venezuela.
And eventually the US.
To PDJT: “HOW DARE YOU call it a sh**hole!”
Left’s 2020 slogan:”Make America Like Venezuela (MALV, pronounced mal-v). What a slogan.
I once produced a geological compendium about Bolivia’s natural resources and interviewed their highest ranking government officials. Of course, they all live behind 20’ walls and own opulent homes with stunning, hand crafted furniture and are catered to by service people. Outside the walls exists stark poverty and military police with automatic rifles.
My husband flew corporate jets and one time he had to stop in Bolivia and get something repaired. What he described was such poverty and bleak conditions. However, he did manage to get what he needed and got out of there.
Shout it from the rooftops. The Delusional Lying Leftist Media never will.
Some heads of state just don’t get it: To be prosperous as a country, you have to get as many people working productively as possible. You do this by giving them an incentive to do so: money as the fruits of their labors.
Socialist regimes want everyone to earn around the same amount, so why work hard for a promotion when you won’t get any more money? Plus they take more of your money when you earn more, with the same result.
Socialist regimes seize major industries (”nationalizing”), making it a very stupid idea to even think of opening a business in a socialist country. Leading to a loss of potential jobs.
Socialism kills incentive, inventiveness, imagination, initiative.
Morales needs to hire Shifty Schiff to go out and convince Bolivia that everything is completely on the up and up.
and the most important thing. The ability for the average Joe to start his own business.
I spent some time down there working with DEA on Operation Snow Cap. Strange country I guess sometime back in the 1960s the military attempted to take over the country.
They were put down by the national police (Umapar) in under a week. Since then the military has been a complete joke a bunch of guys walking around with flip flops, shorts and rusty old WW-II rifles.
The national police were extensively funded by the US government to help with the war on drugs. They had new everything gear wise and received training from US law enforcement and US Special Forces. My experience with the Umapar was quite good, we could trust them.
Morales has backed Maduro, Castro...expect Putin and them to back up Morales.
