Mass strikes, road blockades and popular mobilisation have once again placed Bolivia at the centre of political struggle in Latin America. As workers, Indigenous communities and social movements confront deepening economic crisis and escalating political conflict, the country has entered a new period of instability that raises important questions for the international left.
What lies behind the recent wave of strikes? How are divisions within the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) shaping events? What role are trade unions, peasant organisations and Indigenous movements playing? And what do these developments tell us about the possibilities and limits of left governments operating within capitalism?
Join AntiCapitalist Resistance for a discussion exploring the roots of Bolivia’s current crisis, the balance of forces on the ground, and the strategic lessons for socialists today. We will examine the relationship between mass struggle, state power and democratic organisation, drawing connections between Bolivia’s experience and the wider challenges facing anti-capitalists internationally.
Whether you are new to Bolivian politics or have followed its revolutionary processes for years, this meeting offers an opportunity to deepen understanding, ask questions and debate the way forward.
All are welcome.
