His argument rests on his view – in my opinion correct – that Bolivia remains capitalist, and that a socialist transformation is not under way.īut surely that is only part of the story. Jeffrey Webber has won international recognition for his writings on the social struggles in Bolivia, so his analysis deserves respectful consideration. Antonio Cueto inspect Bolivia’s army after it was declared “socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist.”įar from moving toward socialism, Webber says, the Morales government has served to close off a “possibility of a fundamental, transformative overhaul of social, economic, and political structures” and to consolidate a “reconstituted neoliberalism.” (Except as indicated, all quotations are from the March 15 interview in The Bullet.) President Evo Morales and army chief Gen. Despite Morales’s “nominal inclusion of revolutionary slogans,” his actions involve only “relatively superficial policy initiatives,” Webber says. 1 While Webber says that activists in the North should defend Bolivia against “imperialist meddling,” his primary concern is to disabuse First World socialists of illusions in the country’s government. The second view is argued by Canadian socialist Jeffrey Webber in a new book and a variety of recent articles, including an interview published March 15 in The Bullet. Or has the Morales presidency served to limit popular movements and block the possibility of significant change?.Have the Bolivian masses been able to score significant gains under the government of President Evo Morales, first elected in December 2005?.Six years after Bolivians elected their first Indigenous-led government, their ongoing struggle for national and social liberation remains a subject of debate and disagreement among socialists around the world.
