[lbo-talk] DC: Costs of big marches

[Steven L. Robinson]

So it was the capitalists that imposed a tax on their own petrochemical exports from Bolivia - just out of the goodness of their hearts and not in response to the demand of total expropriation by the popular movement? How do you explain the resignation of successive Presidents of Bolivia and Ecuador if not by pressure  from mass popular demonstrations?  Was it the capitalists, out of the goodness of their own hearts, that decided to let Hugo Chavez return to power after the coup in 2002 and not  the fact that his supporters took the streets?  I don't think that capitalists are prone to just hand out money because they feel like it or to remove heads of goernment on a whim, even less to restore to power Hugo Chavez, whom they loath and have sworn to destroy.  How else do you explain such things? What other factors do you have? Conspiracies perhaps?  SR
