no left or right

i truly hate when they use this expression...usually means that they're mostly going to work with rightoids

I think it would be useful to give a solution to the problem you're describing. Politics is serious you know, it's my life and yours.

So much of the things just get co-opted by the rightists immediately and because all leftists have is slogans then they throw them in the bucket, but because the rightists at least have power and the left doesn't, this is a game of chicken you can't win. Anything you invent will always be co-opted by the right, anything including communism.

well...just don't say that "this is not about left or right" because right-wing people will talk crap anyways and left-wing people will feel that you're gonna concede in many ways

It says he's interim until July 28, so probably doesn't matter much... unless...

...unless he dies earlier because he's 83. Would be great if there were some Marxist party figures like these that were from a more promising age bracket.

Sentenced to being sentenced. My condolences José.

Balcázar, a pesar de haber ocupado cargos en la Corte Suprema de Justicia del Perú, ha enfrentado una serie de polémicas al defender los matrimonios infantiles.

this... doesn't look so good if true

in most of latam, 14 years is considered the "age of consent" usually by right-wing people in power modifying criminal law, people in anglo world and europe try to spin that as some kind of outrageous claim because a leftist say it

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly it seems to be true.

[–] zenpunk@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 2 weeks ago

I've listened that the main goal of Peru is elect its every single citizen 😂

What a hell of site design is this? For almost every paragraph, there is at least one sentence in bold. Is this common in the latin american news websites?

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why would bad design be common in latin american news websites because you see it in one?

[–] zenpunk@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bruh. Here is one, here is two, here is three other examples.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now I understand. Your first comment made it sound like Telesur was the first latin American news site you saw

[–] zenpunk@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago

No, no. I found a bunch of them before. By the way, I'm brazillian.

[–] CaptainRipcord@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My theory is that they started doing that back when they went viral often and haven't stopped chasing that high since.

[–] zenpunk@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 week ago

Makes sense.

[–] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What are the chances his party or Castillo's win the next election in Peru if anyone familiar with the situation on the ground can comment?

As far as I'm aware, the Peruvian state is set up to be as impossible to govern after the departure of Fujimori.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Checking the polls for the next presidential elections, and the candidate for Perú Libre (which is also Castillo's party), Vladimir Cerrón, is polling at a low percentage, so it doesn't seem likely

There should be a Marxist-Leninist Peru!

This is the flag of a Marxist-leninist Peru!
