In other words, everyone being exploited by the oligarchy!

Yeah, Capitalism fundamentally isn’t “for all”, it’s for holders of Capital.

It’s not who it’s for, it’s who it’s done to.

Let’s see what new and original ways he’ll find to fuck up Bolivia.
Socialists had their run, and they did fuck it up majorly. But now it’s time for new kind of mistakes.

How’s that work, everyone gets some capital? If not then I’m pretty sure he’s just pitching more corporate welfare without calling it that.

On the campaign trail, the Christian Democrat Paz promised a “capitalism for all” approach to economic reform, with decentralisation, lower taxes and fiscal discipline mixed with continued social spending.

How are you going to do bo-

He also promised to maintain social programmes while stabilising the economy, but economists have said the two things are not possible at the same time

Oh

Vinny Pazienza? The Pazmanian Devil himself?

That’s no different than declaring “feudalism for all.”

No, that would be the workers owning the company.

Rodrigo Paz faces Bolivia’s worst economic crisis in 40 years, with high inflation and a shortage of fuel and dollars.

Well shit. Just when socialism had turned Bolivia into a regional and world leader, an economic powerhouse. 🙄

Not one comment here about what was happening before, what changes are to be expected. Anyone have something intelligent to say other than, “Capitalism bad”? Not sure what he hopes to accomplish, not sure what “capitalism for all” is supposed to mean. I was hoping to learn something here.
