The love affair of Mexicans with the president continues 100 days after her arrival to power, with approval percentages reaching 80%, four points more than just a month ago. There are not many elements yet to qualify a good government, but nor to criticize it, so that citizens feel satisfied with the vote they cast in the elections, which raised Claudia Sheinbaum as the person with the most votes in the country’s recent history. . “A huge disaster would have to have occurred for a person who received so many votes to lose support in such a short time,” says Heidi Osuna, director of Enkoll, the house that carried out this survey for EL PAÍS and W Radio between the 3rd and the January 5 through 1,203 interviews in homes. The retrospective vote is always higher than the real vote, that is, when people are asked who they voted for in the previous elections, the majority side with the winner. That is also what happens now with Sheinbaum. And whoever lost the most, the most preferences are taken away. It’s the Matthew effect.
If trotski ended up being right I will need to do a lot of self crit.
On a long term social democracy has proven to have enough structural issues to eventually run into issues with counter-revolutionaries, and with the narco state that is present (they use american weapons) her position still isnt very secure from assassination.
I support her though of course, rather have a trot than some libshit in power.
The efficancy in putting through marxist tinged stuff that actually works will build a positive relationship with marxism and socialism amongst the people of mexico as well.
Latin American USSR would be unfathomably based and share a border with the empire.
Extremely dangerous location.
But unparalleled ability to poke the demon in the eye.
More like punching the demon in the dick.
Florida will be the site for the invasionary landing.
The Villages will be razed to the bedrock
Venezuela wants in
Edit: I think Columbia would be down too
Colombia is so full of anticommunist brainworms because of the 70 year civil war with farc and other leftist guerrillas, and having been the US’s lapdog for over a hundred years. Even if petro is a good step forward, most of the country hates anything resembling redistribution.
How come you say that?
There the USSR fell, and if I understand correctly trotski helped plant one of the seeds helping the underlying positive communal energies of the region to withstand the nearly unmatched American oppression. They might have done it without him. However he contributed to something there. If the results are stronger the implication is his theory was stronger and I have to reconsider prior assumptions about the whole situation. Having not really critically investigated this I cannot say to what extend this is a real factor or not. However given that this is a phenomenon I do not understand I am infact obligated to investigate and revaluate my understandings. Does that sound like a reasonable thought process? I haven’t exactly figured it out myself yet.
Sorry, I don’t mean this with any disrespect but I’m not following your point at all. USSR was unpopular in Mexico or didn’t have any influence but Trotsky’s visit was the thing that grew Mexican Left politics which maybe led to MORENA?
Either he was right Mexico was the good place for a revolutionary to go because the area had good energy to work with. Or his legacy and the general spread of trosktist cadres helped in some way. If either is true I systematically undervalued his contributions to orthodox theory and I need to read more. It could be neither but at this point I am not well ready enough to say with any level of certainty
That’s fair. Like everyone, it’s totally possible that Trotsky had some decent ideas and a lot of terrible ones though. Just like it’s possible that Stalin did a lot of good things and made some mistakes—like stopping at Berlin.
