Uphold Marxism-Leninism-Yuno Gasai Thought!
So you have a superpower doing everything to undermine workers’ power, and you have an emerging superpower trying to raise workers’ power, even if that process is going a bit slowly.
Oh, but what’s this? The emerging superpower isn’t doing *everything* perfectly??
Well! I say! That means we should just yell about how the superpower and emerging superpower are actually one and the same!! If it’s not perfect, it’s evil!
And not just that!! You don’t understand! Everything must be viewed through the prism of events that happened a century ago!! There’s absolutely no way that things may have changed since then!!
The Austro-Hungarian Empire is still around, right? That’s relevant to the current discussion, no??
From what I’ve seen, she’s your average liberal. She only successfully got into politics with her election as VP.
As for Castillo appointing more right-wing ministers; there’s a difference between him doing that, and far-right forces destabilising the country, so they’ll have an easier time taking control.
From my understanding:
Pedro Castillo was elected last year, representing the Marxist Peru Libre party, however he himself is a conservative politician.
Friction between him and the leadership of Peru Libre led him to leave the party earlier this year, and to appoint more right-wing ministers.
The far-right, led by Keiko Fujimori and her Fuerza Popular party, has made repeated attempts at removing Castillo from office.
Today, a third impeachment attempt was to begin in the Peruvian Congress, however Castillo announced that he would dissolve Congress, set new elections for September 2023, and rule by decree until then.
This move was rejected by all state institutions of Peru; Congress impeached him, and the police arrested him.
He was replaced by the First VP, Dina Boluarte.
