It is noteworthy that neither Chilean president Sebastián Piñera nor Haitian president Jovenel Moïse, nor Iraqi prime minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi for that matter, have "stepped down" despite enormous protests for more than a month, but the one socialist president with a true mass base of support, Bolivian president Evo Morales, has "resigned." Might it be that the latter is an opponent of the Washington Consensus while the former are supporters? Might it be the latter is "coup appropriate" but the former have the backing of the United States?
Caitlin Johnstone has the must-read piece, "MSM Adamantly Avoids The Word 'Coup' In Bolivia Reporting," on the coup in Bolivia (which is shaping up to be reminiscent of Ukraine 2014).
