South America continues in its slide into socialism with the election of Evo Morales
to the leadership of Bolivia.
Bolivian socialist leader Evo Morales has won enough votes in the country’s presidential election to be installed as leader, electoral officials say. The country’s electoral court confirmed that with almost two-thirds of the votes counted, Mr Morales’ share was enough for him to win.
From Granma Newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party 20th December 2005
“IN one of his first statements to the press after his election as president, Evo Morales stated by telephone from La Paz for the popular Cuban informative space of the Roundtable: “I personally had and have much confidence in the Bolivian people.
“Those who killed us with bullets are now trying to kill us with lies, but the Bolivian population knows who I am and those dirty campaigns had no effect, given that the marginalized poor know who to defend and why they are doing so,” he emphasized in a statement for the Roundtable.
He added that he is already at the stage of organizing his cabinet and is planning to travel abroad in order to be in contact with other leaders.
He sent a message of thanks to the all the Cuban people and government for their constant solidarity with the Bolivians by demonstrating to the world that one can fight with dignity and sovereignty, and took advantage of the situation to reiterate his condemnation of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the island.”
Morales is the leader of the “Movement Towards Socialism which he founded in 1995. The MAS had been a long time participant in the the “Sao Paolo Forum” meetings which have united Latin American Communist and Socialist parties in recent years.
It is also on the Secretariat of the Sao Paolo Forum’s successor organisation, the “Bolivarian Congress of the Peoples” which has been meeting in Caracas, Venezuela. Other parties on the Congress Secretariat include the Cuban Communist Party, the El Salvadorean FMLN and Marxist Hugo Cavez’s Bolivarian Circles of Venezuela.
Morales is openly allied to Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. With Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil all run by pro Castro Marxists and several other Marxist movements close to power on the continent, it seems socialism ain’t quite so dead after all.
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................
有時,你覺得痛。胃痛的時候,接受它,承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份,與它和平共處。心痛的時候,接受它,承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份,與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在,只會讓它更要證明它的存在,於是你就更痛。所以,.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺,還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊,不逃避,不閃躲,不再與你的痛爭執,如此,你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧,才會乖乖平息下去。.................
A remnant of the Comintern! Anyone remember that??
