[Marxism] Roger Burbach on Bolivia

I think it's important to add the URL for the Bolivia Rising Blog that Roger writes for:

The sitution there, with physical attacks on the now MAS-only Constituent Assembly is critical. 
The potential for the country to fly appart (the goal of the Oligarchy and US imperialism) is quite 
real, with only the workers and peasant organizations defending the unity of the Bolivian nation. This 
has won over large sections of the military who also have a keen interest in keeping the country in one piece.

The former "2/3 majority" vote is now going out the window, with a simple majority now needed 
to approve constitutional changes. There is a serious movement to move the CA back to La Paz 
where the most radicalized sections of the Bolivian people live, as Roger points out. This is a 
MAJOR BATTLE folks...perhaps bigger than what is going on in Venezuela tomorrow...at least it is 
as accute as the situation in Caracas.
