A Fool’s Revolution | Revolución de cojudos

A brief summary of Diego Ayo’s article; Brujula Digital:

The Yokels of the “Process of Change”

Bolivia is on the verge of collapse. The economy is disastrous. Arce is useless, but he’s not the only one to blame: Evo is too!

What we have is a corrupt State, a mafia State, a wallet State. Ideology was just a mask: to live better, even if it meant selling one’s soul to the devil.

The problem is not only corruption, but inept corruption. In Bolivia we were and are corrupt and foolsCorruption 10, stupidity 100.

They created unnecessary state companies for lovers and cronies: “the country can wait, Gaby cannot.” Scholarships for bureaucrats’ kids, not for the brightest. Resources concentrated in Plaza Murillo to feed resentment. It was a psychological revolution: sink the right and celebrate with a “we screwed them.”

The result: political success, economic failure. Today Bolivia is the most corrupt country in Latin America and second-to-last in the world. Not only because of corruption, but above all because of ineptitude.

Masismo blew through the money from the Central Bank, from taxes, from loans, from gold, and now from newly printed bills à la UDP. They created nothing, only spent while it lasted.

That’s why Arce’s election was no accident: a first-class fool, addicted to wasteful spending and sickly redistribution, while his kids go to Disney.

What was there could never last. And so we end up: the yokels left empty-handed.

Note: “Q’olo” is a colloquial and derogatory term used in La Paz to refer to Aymara peasants or indigenous people from rural backgrounds. It is not a simple demonym, but an insult connoting backwardness and rusticity.
