Victory in Bolivia!

Juan Evo Morales Ayma has declared victory in the Bolivian presidential election!
(It remains to be seen at this point if he has the actual majority needed, but it is likely.)

Morales is the indigenous leader of the Movement Toward Socialism Party (MAS).
He has promised to be The US's "worst nightmare."


His political career has already been attacked in the past by US agents.
The main target of Morales' has been the US Ambassador to Bolivia.

Morales supprts autonomy for campesinos, equal opportunity, and access to land.
He has plans to transform the country and possibly nationalize water, gas, and oil industries.

This victory could help build a South American anti-imperialist bloc (with Cuba & Venezuela) and break US hegemony in the region (as well as globally).
This is especially true at a time when the US must divert the muscle of its military elsewhere.

"The worst enemy of humanity is capitalism."
-Evo Morales
