[Marxism] A promising interview with El Sal. pres-elect Funes

[S. Artesian]

What's the point?  Should we expect then, in a year, Funes and the FMLN to 
have authorized the expropriation of the bourgeoisie in El Salvador?  The 
seizure of the remaining textile, clothing factories, the cotton farms, 
created on an industrial scale in the 70s?

And if so, is that just going to happen, or does there need to a demand for 
just those things coming from somewhere outside the formal government?
