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.

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.

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!
