Reuters: 'Everything is a mess': Morales exit rocks Bolivia, splits region
LA PAZ (Reuters) - Looting, fighting and roadblocks convulsed Bolivia on Monday after President Evo Morales’ resignation ended his 14-year rule and created a power vacuum following weeks of violent protests.
The departure of Bolivia’s first indigenous president, who was the last survivor of a wave of leftist leaders in Latin America from two decades ago, came on Sunday when the military abandoned him amid unrest over his disputed Oct. 20 re-election.
The Organization of American States (OAS), which had denounced “manipulations” of that vote, exhorted Bolivian lawmakers to meet urgently to resolve the crisis.

These are serious charges.
"Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts," Brzezinski said. "And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much so that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job."

"I have a connection to Israel going back many years. In 1963, I lived on a kibbutz near Haifa. It was there that I saw and experienced for myself many of the progressive values upon which Israel was founded." - Bernie Sanders

Reminds me of another so called Jew.
learn something about the M.E. and Israel before you make dumb comments
fact: some IDF have done very bad things. Most do not.
Kibbutz system were all socialistic. Some remain so today but most are capitalistic. Bern was on one many years ago. Some of Israel great fighters and its leaders came from the kibbutz system. Morons like you come from a poor educational system and thus say stupid shit

"Environmentalists Ban Cooking w/Fire in California"
Personally, I chose electric for safety reasons and because they are a clean top. However a gas stove is more consistent. When people start moving around-in the morning and after work the electric stoves have reduced output.
I chose electric stove over a gas stove, but it was my choice.
Here we have busy bodies, "church ladies", mandating a choice for everyone and costing them more money.
CHURCH LADY SURE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS A BEAK OF A NOSE.

Russia gave much aid to the early beginnings of Israel...the US only helped when it tried to wean Israel away from Russian orbit. The generous help the US gave worked and Israel became increasingly more friendly with the US
Yossi Melman, a longtime Haaretz writer, remembers an interview he did with Mr. Sanders in 1990, the year he was elected to represent Vermont in the House. Haaretz dug up that clip, in which Mr. Sanders said he had spent several months in 1963 working on Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim, near Haifa in northern Israel, as a guest of the Hashomer Hatzair youth movement.
The movement, whose Hebrew name translates to “The Young Guard,” was a socialist, Zionist secular Jewish youth group founded in 1913 in Galicia, Austria-Hungary, and shared the name of a workers’ party in pre-1948 Palestine. The original 1990 article was titled “The First Socialist” and said that after spending time on the kibbutz with his wife at that time, Mr. Sanders seems to have lost his connection “to Israel, Zionism and Judaism,” Haaretz reported this week. Mr. Sanders has long described himself as a democratic socialist.
I know the the kibbutzes were all non-capitalist at one time.
I do not have a problem, if people want to voluntarily live in a socialist system.
I do not care, if some people want to live in a communist system.
Menesheviks do not bother me. Bolsheviks do. The only good Bolshevik is a dead one. My understanding of them is that the former would not force communism on you but the latter would.
We have communes even today in the US and I have not 'badmouthed' them as would would say.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Oaks_Community,_Virginia
I read up on one commune and they had to pay different wages for different work?
Wait! What?
I could tell you why and you could know the meaning of each individual world and yet you would not comprehend. Your lexile score is low or you are a permanent bell chamber resident. So it would not matter if I told you are not.
If every one voluntarily chose to join a commune, it could snowball overnight and we could have socialism or communism across the whole US.
Problem is that most liberals, the Church Ladies among us, want to enforce socialism over the barrel of a gun.
Not being under-educated, mis-educated, innumerate, and functional illiterate like your self I know the limits of communes. The Twin Oaks has not yet hit the limit yet. But, if you understand science, you know it will.
"I have a connection to Israel going back many years. In 1963, I lived on a kibbutz near Haifa. It was there that I saw and experienced for myself many of the progressive values upon which Israel was founded." - Bernie Sanders
Parrot keep missing what follows on purpose:
"Bernie neglects to mention that it was a Stalinist kibbutz that was anti-Israel."
"Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim had been co-founded by Aharon Cohen, the Arabist, who was a regular critic of Israel and opponent of its policy. He was arrested for spying for the USSR in the 50s.
Its founder, Ya’akov Hazan, described the USSR as a second homeland and eulogized Stalin,"
Bernie always cuddles with communists.
Sanders’ “sojourn in an Israeli communist kibbutz is fully consistent with Sanders’s honeymoon visit to the Soviet Union… his visit to Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolutionary leader Daniel Ortega as the first U.S. elected official … and his 1980s visit to Cuba where he met with the mayor of Havana….So far as I know, Bernie Sanders has never repudiated his Stalinist inclinations.”
"Russia gave much aid to the early beginnings of Israel...the US only helped when it tried to wean Israel away from Russian orbit. The generous help the US gave worked and Israel became increasingly more friendly with the US"
And that squares with the Doctors plot how?
Opportunism on Stalins part by supporting Israel. Not love of Israel.
