Hey M$Greedia

1. Read Bolivia had a White Supremacy coup vs indigenous people. Chile too??

Read that about ouster of Morales as White Supremacist coup here in DU discussion

[malaise]

2. The people of Chile want the Pinochet constitution

removed and the Chicago School structural adjustment model banished.

It is that Reagan/Thatcher structural adjustment that has fucked up the entire planet - it's now markets over society so the social good is deemed as socialism and workers rights are gone as are decent wages, good schools and universities and healthcare.

3. Thanks. Any recommended readings on Thatcher/Reagan/Chicago School Program, effects?

4. Two recommendations

Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine and John Perkins Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

Naomi has a great website with resources and I always loved that resignation letter from an IMF staffer (from Grenada). I think it's called Enough is Enough.

Milton Friedman was the Chicago School guru and they moved into to Chile after Allende's assassination like white on rice.

6. +1

Here we go again.

I heard that Bolivia is 40% indigenous but the new RW regime does not have any indiginous members. And they want to push "development," presumably along the lines of Bolsonaro. Probably more rape of the Amazon ahead.

7. RW Fundies

The alliance between the military in many countries and these prosperity gospel evangelicals is frightening
