Thank you for posting the translation.
At no point does he explain:
- how he will defend the “revolution”
- how further coups will be prevented
- how he is going to meaningfully improve democracy if he is concerned the poor only get a democratic voice every few years during election season
- how he will prevent the imperialist forces and the bourgoisie dictating economic policy
If he doesn’t think one needs to read Marx or learn from Castro, Mao or Lenin then he giving the awful impression that he does not have a viable alternative. If one does not have an understanding of the status quo then how will one fight it? How will they understand lessons of the past of those who did fight it and was successful if they do not learn from them? Where is this new theory of successful political economic development that apparently supercedes Marx scientifically?
Critical support indeed.
Without understanding dialectical and historical materialism, without developing a socialist vanguard and without democratic centralism it feels like the seeds for capitulating towards fascism.
A lot of IMF “warnings” can be summarised as:
you are not / may not be able to pay off the privatised national debt in the timely manner the private banks have requested
solution is to raid public wealth even more to pay off this debt
let’s give you some funds to help with you that in the form of more privatised debt; if you are from the global south then it is your wealth we have exploited from you which we are lending back to you as a loan with interest to be paid along with some structural adjusments to help plunder your country even more. We can help you by installing our own agents in your governing bodies and if you resist our help we can encourage you with some gunboat diplomacy, sanctioning and coups.
if you are from the imperialist core then we advise on austerity while we help you plunder the global south some more in the interim
