    The interviewer says that ‘Evo Morales is facing a revolt in Bolivia.’ In the very next article, Chomsky talks about Democracy in Bolivia and says ‘Morales has 90% of the vote.
    Are they voting for Morales and revolting at the same time? Well maybe. That’s Bolivia for you.
    We used to say ‘don’t believe all you read’. This might soon change to ‘don’t believe anything’.

    the revolt in Bolivia is in the wealthy parts of the country that control most of the natural resources, not among the majority of the population

    How often have we heard of ‘democracy’ being wrapped up with ‘nationalisation’ and how often has there been anything democratic about it?
    It would have been good to see the Financial Times article that Chomsky cites. Probably it would have brought some sense to what obviously is a very ugly business.
    A little less hyperbole and a little more reasoned thinking, please.

    so you’re saying Bolivia isn’t a democracy? we’re talking one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere that just elected their first populist president .. so you think that’s nationalism? not sure i follow the reasoning on that

    me thinks if you were born poor in South/Central America.. or maybe if you had a student relative who “disappeared” under one the various right wing paramilitary regimes in Latin America – you might have a different perspective
