Review of Pierre Broué, The German Revolution, 1917-1923 (2005). “Broué does full justice to the importance of his subject.

Insurrection to accommodation. By Shaun Harkin (International Socialist Review, Issue 81, January-February 2012). Review of Tommy McKearney, The Provisional IRA: From Insurrection to Parliament (Pluto Press, 2011). “McKearney’s book is a very readable and informative account of the rise and fall of the Provisional IRA. Though he is often very critical of the IRA’s strategies and tactics, McKearney’s refusal to root these holistically within the Republican tradition is the book’s principal political weakness.”

Bolivia: Morales og MAS-partiets kæmpe sejr er en lussing til den amerikanske elite, som hyldede militærkuppet for et år siden. Af Shawn Gude (Solidaritet.dk, 11. november 2020). “Umiddelbart efter sidste års højrefløjskup i Bolivia, fejrede og forsvarede den amerikanske elite afsætningen af Evo Morales. Den massive valgsejr i oktober var en afvisning af deres vås – og en kæmpe triumf for demokratiet i Bolivia.”
Hvorfor Lucho og David vandt valget i Bolivia. Af Pablo Solón (Socialistisk Information, 25. oktober 2020). “Bevægelsen mod Socialisme (MAS) vandt valget i Bolivia i første valgrunde. Præsident- og vicepræsidentkandidat Luis Arce ‘Lucho’ og David Choquehuanca fik 55,1 procent af stemmerne, Carlos Mesa fra koalitionen Comunidad Ciudadana (CC) fik 28,8 og Luis Fernando Camacho fra Creemos 14 procent.”

Bolivia: Et kup er et kup! Af Martin Mosquera (Socialistisk Information, 23. januar 2020). “I november tvang det bolivianske militær Evo Morales til at træde tilbage: den klassiske definition på et kup. På trods af kendsgerningerne er der kommentatorer – selv på venstrefløjen – der har været ude af stand til at forstå, hvad det var: Et komplot fra elitens side.”
Hvad skete der i Bolivia for nylig? Af Niels Frølich (Kritisk Debat, december 2019). “Hvordan kunne det gå til at landets til dato længst siddende, mest populære præsident nogensinde, der også er landets første indfødte præsident, og under hvis styre flere millioner af bolivianere er kommet ud af en uhyrlig fattigdom, måtte flygte uden det kom til omfattende modstand og borgerkrig?” P.t. ikke online.
Bolivias ”Bevægelse for Socialisme” og kuppet. Af Jorge Jorquera (Socialististisk Information, 1. december 2019). “Bolivias arbejdere vil ikke acceptere kuppet og vil ikke tillade, at disse eliter får lov til at befæste deres direkte, ubegrænsede dominans over den bolivianske stat.”
Herboende bolivianer: Vi vil ikke længere ses ned på (Arbejderen.dk, 20. november 2019). “Aymara-indianeren Aydee Carvajal Alcocer fra Bolivia bor i Danmark på syvende år. Hun stammer oprindeligt fra kuppets epicenter, byen Santa Cruz og kender udmærket kupmagerne og deres voldelige, højreorienterede bander, fortæller hun.”
Fordøm kuppet i Bolivia! Af Fjerde Internationale (Socialistisk Information, 16. november 2019). “Der er ikke tid til fejlfortolkninger. Bolivia er offer for et brutalt og voldeligt statskup, organiseret af det racistiske ekstreme højre, som i de seneste måneder er begyndt at generobre politisk terræn og social opbakning i Andeslandet.”
Evo Morales: “Min ’forbrydelse’ er, at jeg er venstreorienteret, indigena og antiimperialist” (Autonom Infoservice, 13. november 2019). “Bolivias præsident Evo Morales er trådt tilbage. Natten til den 12. november flygtede han til Mexico i politisk eksil.”

How the US war on drugs subverted Bolivian democracy (Jacobin, November 13, 2021). Anton Flaig interviews with Juan Ramón Quintana: “It’s been two years since the right-wing coup against Evo Morales’s socialist government. One of his former ministers tells Jacobin about how the US war on drugs helped create a Bolivian military free from popular control.”
Bolivias Elections. By Bret Gustafson (New Politics, No.70, Winter 2021). “Bolivia has given the world an impressive lesson in democracy, but reactionary sectors of the country are once again revealing their anti-democratic impulse.”
Bolivia’s indigenous masses have changed the course of history. By Cindy Forster (Jacobin, December 18, 2020). “Fifteen years after Evo Morales was first elected president of Bolivia, his socialist party has returned to power. The far right hasn’t given up — but the indigenous masses that reversed the right-wing coup and forced elections have proven themselves a formidable force for justice and democracy.”
A new MAS era in Bolivia. By Pablo Stefanoni (Nacla, October 21, 2020). “Under new leadership, the MAS won a decisive victory. Now, economic crisis and a complicated situation for the regional Left will pose major challenges for the new government.”
See also Federico Fuentes: Bolivia: The people defeat the coup (Green Left Weekly, Issue 1286, October 22, 2020) + Nicole Fabricant: Bolivia has provided us a radical vision of hope (Jacobin, October 24, 2020).
Bolivia after Evo (RS21, 18 October 2020). “Mike Gonzalez analyses the presidency of Evo Morales, who became President of Bolivia in 2005 at the head of a powerful mass movement, and was ultimately ousted in a right-wing coup last year.
On the coup in Bolivia. By Bret Gustafson (Against the Current, Issue 204, January-February 2020). “This is a revanchist putsch led by the most conservative sectors of society. On social media, many who opposed Evo’s re-election for the sake of democracy, are now decrying a dictatorship of the right.”
Evo Morales, the coup and popular resistance (Socialist Review, Issue 452, December 2019). “A combination of local capitalist forces and US imperialism lies behind the coup in Bolivia. But, as Andy Brown explains, the picture is more complicated, with Morales’s own political aims being partly to blame for his lack of support, giving the right the opportunity to overthrow him.”
Counterrevolution in Bolivia: its roots and result. By Peter Hudis (RS21, 24 November 2019). “The counterrevolutionary coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia places in jeopardy one of the most important efforts at social change in decades – at the same time as it raises difficult questions about how to forge a democratic path to socialism.”
What’s happening in Bolivia is a violent Right-wing coup. By Laura Carlsen (Foreign Politics in Focus, November 20, 2019). “Progressives need to speak up: Morales made mistakes, but nothing justifies the violent right-wing putsch that followed.”
Understanding Bolivia’s nightmare. By Gabriel Hetland (NACLA, November 20, 2019). “The most immediately relevant time period to understand events preceding Morales’s resignation is from 2016 to the present. Focusing on this period helps with understanding the virulent opposition Morales faced in the weeks before he was forced out.”
A letter to intellectuals who deride revolutions in the name of purity. By Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Ana Maldonado, Pilar Troya Fernández, and Vijay Prashad (MR Online, November 20, 2019; online at Internet Archive). “Revolutions do not happen suddenly, nor do they immediately transform a society. A revolution is a process, which moves at different speeds whose tempo can change rapidly if the motor of history is accelerated by intensified class conflict.”
The coup in Bolivia has everything to do with the screen you’re using to read this. By Vijay Prashad (Counterpunch, November 20, 2019). “When you look at your computer screen, or the screen on your smartphone or the screen of your television set, it is a liquid crystal display (LCD). An important component of the LCD screen is indium, a rare metallic element that is processed out of zinc concentrate.”
Protestors massacred in post-coup Bolivia. By Olivia Arigho-Stiles (Counterpunch, November 18, 2019). “The refrain of anti-Morales protests last month was that under Morales had exceeded his term limits and was a dictator. As the words dictadura (dictatorship) newly graffitied outside the Mercado Lanza building in La Paz attest, now it appears they actually have one.”
Bolivia: Evo’s fall, the Fascist Right, and the power of memory. By Raúl Zibechi (Toward Freedom, November 16, 2019). “Previously, Morales was a campesino leader, but this time he could not appeal, in the face of the rise of a racist and opportunist right wing, for support from Bolivian popular organizations, which have been weakened after years of cooptation and repression.”
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Macho Camacho (Verso, Blog, 15 November 2019). “In office since 2006, Evo Morales, Bolivia’s first indigenous president, has been overthrown in a coup d’état. Debate on how this happened and what it all means has been proliferating on the international left. Ashley Smith talked with Jeffery R. Webber and Forrest Hylton, two long-time observers of Bolivia, to get a better sense of the issues at stake.”
The far-right coup in Bolivia. By Matt Wilgress (Jacobin, 14 November 2019). “In Bolivia, the military, police, and right-wing extremists have carried out a coup against the elected government. They intend to remain in power by violently suppressing the country’s indigenous and poor.”
Bolivia coup led by Christian fascist paramilitary leader and millionaire – with foreign support. By Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton (The Grayzone, November 11, 2019). “Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.”
Kristallnacht in Bolivia. By Maria Galindo (Toward Freedom,November 11, 2019). “In the face of the delusional leadership of Evo, the Santa Cruz region produced another delusional, apparently antagonistic but at the same time complementary leader. A white man, entrepreneur, and president of a ‘civic’ organization who uses religious fanaticism and an openly misogynist discourse that promises the men of society the recovery of their ability to control women.”
Thoughts on Bolivia. By Bret Gustafson (Against the Current, Issue 203, November-December 2019). “From the outside, Evo’s MAS government appears to be a radical left alternative to the rightward shift in the region, recently hailed by a writer in The Nation as a ‘socialist success story’. Yet in this deep dependence on fossil fuels — and fossil capital — lies the dilemma of revolutionary Bolivia.”
Building a Bolivia for the next generation: An interview with Adriana Salvatierra (Jacobin, October 20, 2019). “In today’s election, Evo Morales is running for another term as Bolivian president, after almost fourteen years of sweeping economic and democratic reforms. But his Movement for Socialism is also handing power to young Bolivians to keep the revolution going.”
