What an evil man. Nationalizing resources - presuming that the wealth of the minerals under the soil of Bolivia belonged to the Bolivins.
Distributing money to the poor - instead of letting them starve in the streets or locking them up in filthy prisons like they deserved.
Agrarian reform - letting families have plots of land, most or all of which was going unsued, to use for farming and raising small livestock.
Truly the child of the devil.
Reagan - he would have fixed things - he would have privatized the minerals, given the deeds to his rich friends, and give them tax breaks on top of that. Reagan would have sent in the marines and shot and jailed anybody trying to grow food on land that he was planning to privatize and give back to his corporate buddies so that they could let it sit and do nothing and earn honest patriotic tax breaks.
Reagan would have made those lazy Bolivians starve to death in the name of freedom.
"Like any good campaign film, On the Road With Evo combines public performance with private moments ... a video that helps to explain Evo's popular appeal while also managing to provide rare glimpses of the man off-stage. In those candid scenes, we meet a person who seems both confident and disarmingly relaxed."
Though he has very close relations with Hugo Chavez, he seems to me to be exactly the opposite kind of populist, i.e., one who is genuinely interested in the welfare of his people, as opposed to a megalomaniacal "revolutionary" interested in little more than concentrating more power in his own hands.
