Last week the various factions of the Bolivian opposition all got together for a little strategy planning session in Santa Cruz. IPS reports that the meeting highlighted a few "discrepancies" between the various ideologies. You see on one side there is the weird business leader/neo-nazi skinhead faction, and on the other there is everybody else. Naturally, "everybody else" eventually got locked out of the meeting in the middle of the night "because of their opposition to violence," and the skinheads left to go burn down government buildings. Unity!
Still even this craziness is more coherent then their last strategy, which involved "creating food shortages through boycotts and roadblocks." That one failed when the organizers realized that as business owners, they were really the only ones affected. Or the strategy before that, which was "a hunger strike" that quickly "lost credibility" when teevee cameras filmed them all sitting around eating. Ha! Seriously, who is training these dumbasses? Oh right of course.
