Socialism Defeated in Bolivia, the Reign of Evo Morales’ MAS Party Ended.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Bolivian voters have rejected socialism. The country’s socialist economic “miracle” rested on asset seizures, nationalization of private industries, charity from communist allies, and windfalls from a global commodities boom. But a decade of deepening economic crisis has made voters realize that true prosperity comes from productive investment, not state handouts.
On 17 August, Bolivia held presidential and general elections. Former socialist president Evo Morales, founder of the MAS party, was barred from running. Morales had risen to power during the early 2000s “pink tide” of leftist leaders that swept Latin America, and his party had dominated Bolivian politics since 2006.
This time, however, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) suffered a crushing defeat after nearly two decades in power, with its official candidate Eduardo del Castillo finishing sixth, winning only 3.2 percent of the vote. The other leftist candidate, Senate president Andrinico Rodriguez, captured just 8% of the vote. more

They saw the difference a capitalist made in Argentina and they want to be free of oppression as well.
Not stealing an election has consequences.
Socialists promise you the world; then deliver you a world of shit.
“Free” stuff doesn’t matter if it’s not available. “Free” treatment for your cancer in two years doesn’t matter if your cancer is killing you right now.
What role did CIA and USAID have in this Regime change?
Or do we want to know?
Inquiring minds want to know. Transparency or is it top secret?
Never accept embassies from any 1st world country, don’t get ‘help’ with your elections, don’t accept money aka USAID, and you won’t have such problems with your “leaders.”
