[Marxism] Huanuni, Siglo XX, Catavi

I don't know what is taking place in Huanuni today.

I remember that name, and those of Siglo XX and Catavi, as the basic 
foci of class struggle against the Rosca under the 1952 regime.

G. Sánchez de Losada privatized all these state-owned concerns, if I 
am not wrong.  But I am not looking for info.

What strikes me as very usual is the following cycle:  workers, 
isolated from the general movement of the class and the national 
front by an ultra-leftist leadership, decide on an ultimatist 
mobilisation requesting from another source of power (in fact, _a_ 
source of power, not of powerlessness) a drastic measure that they 
cannot impose themselves;  repression arises;  the ultra-left blames 
the "bourgeois, treacherous government" for the results.

The imperialists, of course, reap the benefits: demobilisation of the 
masses, loss of respect for "the Left", and so on.

Can't say that THIS is the case in Huanuni.  Wouldn't be surprised if 
it is, either.

Si uis monumentum, circumspice.
