After the general strike and the strike itself were the policies of the groups that make up the revolutionary left in the country. They were almost all groups (or small groups) these days but political differences and are evaluating what happened.
were those who said that "the strike lasted longer than expected" to those who, seeing a silver lining to the negotiations, agreed, saying that 1% was not enough, but "as he accepted the COB, respond so they decided to ". In the latter organization
we stop to make a purely political analysis of their union: it is the Revolutionary Workers Party (POR).
unrealistic approaches do not work to fight
Since long time ago, this organization suggests that you have to fight for the minimum wage or a salary commensurate to the basket that round today in the 8300 Bolivian.
No pregnant, fight for a qualitative increase workers' wages can not be to throw words to the wind pose unattainable goals under the present conditions, only after agreeing to end ridiculous figures to the unreality of the initial pose.
Because that's what happened: The tail-BY him the address of the COB that I start demanding an increase from the current $ 110 to $ 1100 minimum wage only to end up negotiating finalmentel by 1 percent: that is ten low dollars!
a pose so unreal can only serve to disarm the fight. For example, you can not deny that certain groups of workers listed with the requirement of such fear and unrealistic increase, thinking that employers prefer to throw them all and close the company ...
The fact is, as usual, the POR is not part of reality. Of course we all want to move from the worst wages in the region to be the first ... But this is not done with speeches and taking the thesis abstract Pulacayo as a talisman to resolve all conflicts, but based on actual power relations and projecting them from the struggle forward. Because if not, what happens is as stated: the pose unrealistic maximalist (which therefore can not convince) is passed without further to accept crumbs: this is because a claim can not be unrealistic parameter and then comes to accept any thing. Inter
: a progressive orientation but with bureaucratic features
We now turn to another aspect of the policy of BY: its policy of fostering inter-union, something not to be traditional organization. The fact is that it was raised last year to regroup the most militant, which as orientation, in principle, no longer correct.
The point is that the heat of the general discontent of the workers were building this project.
But the problem is that the bureaucratically BY finishes typing this positive experience from the teachers' unions city of La Paz and Casegural. That is, the inter-reduced, sectarian, unions that are driven only by the FOR ....
insist, no workers' democracy and no work in the perspective to include other sectors that are in the fight, all this culminates in a large dose of sectarianism.
Because the fact is that the FOR never went looking for other sectors. And it made no real revolutionary politics within these unions or outside them not to go beyond pure pose demands.
The balance which we have been expressed in the sad fact as the basis of teaching (a union that run from head to toe many years ago) comes to accept the paltry 1% increase.
This was one of the pillars of why the general strike could be successful, although of course we blame the usual suspects: the COB, which is but clear that the POR was not able to actually raise a political alternative: "From our point of view, the crisis of the COB is the crisis of leadership, leaders who have passed and now have abandoned the revolutionary politics "(Mass 2202).
course addresses the COB were always trailing the governments. But the problem is that the FOR never had a policy towards these directions. Just kept saying is "because of the way, we can not do anything ".... Avoiding in this way of formulating a policy alternative.
In another of its periodic read as follows "The union bureaucracy is full body naked and reveals that he has never wanted to take you seriously need to struggle to meet basic needs of those who claim to represent" (Mass 2208).
We wonder: it was 1% have negotiated with the government? Because, unfortunately, the POR, along with the COB had the same location in the conflict, only one has a labor union and other care for their own unions. The location of miserable
unionism (not designed as an alternative or lift a list of demands consistent and clear to the government directed MAS) is that you end up accepting this mockery of increase when, clearly, the situation was to go further, raising a different perspective on the direction of the COB and the government of Morales-Linera reform.
What we see is that the FOR has become entrenched in a purely political association despite his "radical" discourse is only in word and ends by confusing their own bases. This occurs when at the height of the class struggle out trading for 10 cents. This BY mates read: "It must become a political and organizational power inserted within social fighters, that lead to the seizure of power. Otherwise, the mobilization may use itself or elevate any vivillos in democratic outputs / bourgeois. "(Mass 2208)
But the reality is that the general strike at no time been "exhausted" and this is another very important discussion with the FOR, so if you shine in the absence of political organization is that they both preach.
Form a political instrument of the workers. We need a new revolutionary socialist organization
The point is that only a revolutionary party from the workers themselves, with workers' democracy, go out to fight politically against the union bureaucracy games we usually traditional parties, may provide an alternative whole.
Only then can form a new class of leaders who can bring together the healthiest of the working class.
For the perspective of revolutionary socialism, and not a mere trade unionism that stagnates over time and policy is that this raised the need to build a new revolutionary socialist organization in the country, part of this perspective, as tactical step to her, could also be the construction of an IPT.
