i like her regime pill pic more
Oh, that one is great! This one scratches an itch for me.
Athorituraniaism confirmed??
it was confirmed when she forced everyone taking the approval poll to say they approve at gunpoint
This is just a screenshot from Dune, you can't trick me.
i flat out thought it was an edit of a still from new star wars
That lens doing a fuckton of work
That building looks like it's a km away and 200 stories tall
:Sheinbaum-presentation: needs to be an emoji.
Da!
i know literally 0 about her, is she a socialist or anything?
she is a social democrat and succesor of AMLO from the same party, she is like a less lib lula
ayyy nice
Wild that someone's approval would go up after election
Crazy how sending direct material support to your citizenry makes them like you
akshually you are literally buying votes
Everyone screeches about corruption when corporations act to protect their shareholders but nobody cares when the people get bought out....
LMAO @ PANistas showing their asses as the whitexican and completely detached from material reality party.
Its funny that 40% of them support her when during campaign they were calling her the "end of democracy"
how do they call her that
isn't she elected and fairly
she was, but people from the leadership of the PAN party decided copy the strategy of the southamerican right of calling all left-social democrats would be dictators if elected, which at the end didnt matter since she wont with 61% of the vote
Democracy is when you have established parties in a coalition, didn't you know?
If trotski ended up being right I will need to do a lot of self crit.
USSR 2 except its made up by Mexico and Cuba
Latin American USSR would be unfathomably based and share a border with the empire.
Extremely dangerous location.
But unparalleled ability to poke the demon in the eye.
More like punching the demon in the dick.
Florida will be the site for the invasionary landing.
The Villages will be razed to the bedrock
Venezuela wants in
Edit: I think Columbia would be down too
Colombia is so full of anticommunist brainworms because of the 70 year civil war with farc and other leftist guerrillas, and having been the US's lapdog for over a hundred years. Even if petro is a good step forward, most of the country hates anything resembling redistribution.
How come you say that?
There the USSR fell, and if I understand correctly trotski helped plant one of the seeds helping the underlying positive communal energies of the region to withstand the nearly unmatched American oppression. They might have done it without him. However he contributed to something there. If the results are stronger the implication is his theory was stronger and I have to reconsider prior assumptions about the whole situation. Having not really critically investigated this I cannot say to what extend this is a real factor or not. However given that this is a phenomenon I do not understand I am infact obligated to investigate and revaluate my understandings. Does that sound like a reasonable thought process? I haven't exactly figured it out myself yet.
Sorry, I don't mean this with any disrespect but I'm not following your point at all. USSR was unpopular in Mexico or didn't have any influence but Trotsky's visit was the thing that grew Mexican Left politics which maybe led to MORENA?
Either he was right Mexico was the good place for a revolutionary to go because the area had good energy to work with. Or his legacy and the general spread of trosktist cadres helped in some way. If either is true I systematically undervalued his contributions to orthodox theory and I need to read more. It could be neither but at this point I am not well ready enough to say with any level of certainty
That's fair. Like everyone, it's totally possible that Trotsky had some decent ideas and a lot of terrible ones though. Just like it's possible that Stalin did a lot of good things and made some mistakes—like stopping at Berlin.
On a long term social democracy has proven to have enough structural issues to eventually run into issues with counter-revolutionaries, and with the narco state that is present (they use american weapons) her position still isnt very secure from assassination.
I support her though of course, rather have a trot than some libshit in power.
The efficancy in putting through marxist tinged stuff that actually works will build a positive relationship with marxism and socialism amongst the people of mexico as well.
Why is her approval rate less with more educated Mexicans? Just a class thing?
Yeah mainly a class thing, higher attained level of education for the most part leads to people more socially liberal like in the eeuu. However education is still being made more readily available to younger people so older people who got a full education usually grew up during the PRI and PAN years so they have especially very much more right wing. The PRI and PAN also spent their years telling educated city folk that the narco problem was a problem in the cities in order to justify the war on drugs and have only further increased state violence against all, but now that MORENA has come into power their general strategy on the cartel is sweeping education reform especially in the rural parts where traffickers mainly come from in the hopes of preventing new drug traffickers.
I love how american libs were showing their asses over Hillary and Kamala, claiming latinos can't comprehend a female president. Meanwhile that same year Mexicans in Mexico elected a jewish lady to power and even her opposition tend towards supporting her government because its just materially good for everyone involved.
MUST BE NICE
I have a Mexican friend who supports her ,from what she said most Mexicans support her and her predecessor and thing improved under them
also although she's a soc dem ,I got the impression that she disliked the United States ,she also supports Palestine
Disliking the USA is mostly for easy nationalism points the country is still a satellite, she did support palestine before the election tho
I am talking about my Mexican friend LMAO
