Chile's elites are not afraid of Boric... They brought him in to save their business and their infamous regime
Today, when he announced his ministers, the president-elect of Chile said: "I hope the elites will stop being afraid of us".
Why should the Pinochetista generals be afraid of you, Boric, when they will continue to manage the copper, enjoying excellent commissions together with the transnationals?
Why should the capitalists fear you? You will respect private education, the bankers' business and the Chilean workers will continue to work 2400 hours a year, more than anywhere else in the world...
Boric, you are not even an "infant terrible" of the liberal bourgeoisie... Why would the judges be afraid of you? Alas! The political prisoners continue in prison and the carabineros (militarized cops, NT), specialists in emptying eyes, will continue to perform their duties perhaps harder than with Piñera.
No one within the elites will be afraid of you... But the workers will have to be careful. Yes, because of your lies, cheating, deceit... and tomorrow due to your repression.
You are the "human" face of the dictatorship of capital and of the Pinochet regime. They, helped by the "cops in red" of the Chilean CP and the traitors of socialism brought you here to get the revolutionary masses out of the streets.
Though, Boric, you are afraid of the masses, of the Alameda with barricades, of the workers in mines and ports fighting for wages and pensions, of the students jumping the turnstiles in the Metro fighting for free public education, for expropriating copper for the workers' children… Even your relatives tell that when you see a little black dog with a red handkerchief round his collar you cross the street.
You are afraid. And the elites you come to save from the hatred of the masses also fear that you will burn yourself before your time as a fuse.... That worries them.
Don't worry Boric, you are their employee. If you deviate even a little from their interests they will know how to discipline you.
I hope that before them, the masses will do it in a new awakening so that no trace of the Chile of the capitalists and the genocidal generals that you have come to defend will remain.
You have put Allende's granddaughter as Minister of Defense to use that surname to hide the blood on the hands of the Pinochetista generals and the police, all murderers of the people, and so that none of them pay for their massacre of the '70s and those later on they continued to do for years.
You have put a leader of the Communist Party at the head of the Ministry of Labor.... Can anyone believe that the bourgeoisie could be afraid? As they (the CCP, NT) are the servants who sold out all the workers' struggles from the CUT (Chilean Workers Central, NT).
You said you would be "balanced"... wow, yes! There is Mario Marcel, advisor to (former presidents, NT) Lagos, Aylwin and the "Bushelet" , who appointed him president of the Central Bank in 2016. Then he was reaffirmed in this post by the murderous Piñera and the Pinochetista senate. Now you reward him as Minister of Finance.
Don't lie, Boric... Your Minister of Finance is the best representative of the elites in Chile.
Mario Marcel comes from the staff of the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington. He was in Paris as an official of the OCDE, when he moved to the… staff of the WORLD BANK!!!!
Yes, you are a lying rascal; how can the elites of Chile be afraid of you if you have their best representative in your government?
With you in the presidency, the elites are at ease. For now, they have managed to get the masses off the revolutionary path (thanks to leftist servants like you).
You are making up to those at the top the exploitation of the oppressed and imperialist plunder.
Well yes, actually you do have a problem: you are re-editing a new Concertacion government with the CP, the collaborationists with Pinochetism of the Socialist Party and the coup plotters of the Christian Democracy.
The masses must be told the truth, however cruel it may be. This is what your political swindle is about: your new Concertacion government, with a lot of empty-handed promises.
In La Moneda palace (seat of the Chilean executive, NT) there is no friend now... only an enemy, the worst of them, because he is camouflaged as "good" and only comes to save the powerful and to disorganize the struggle of the Chilean workers and youth, which is what neither Piñera nor the murderous generals of the regime could do.
The fog will dissipate and also the deceit. The turnstiles are still there... Before you know, the kids will jump over them again and Chile will reawaken in the only possible way: WITH REVOLUTION!
And you, why are you so worried about the fear of the elites?... but there is something you should be afraid of, of course there is. Do you remember when the First Line and the Plaza de la Dignidad expelled you from the latter? You have enough reasons to fear Boric, you and the elites that brought you.
Every day that you will be governing, hundreds of heroes of the First Line and the rebellious youth are in prison. And you, the minute you take office, will be their jailer and the commander in chief of the carabineros and the murderous generals.
You are the new manager of Chile's elites. Yes, actually, it is them and the government you prepare that should fear: as the masses, sooner rather than later, will also come for you.
Because Chile WILL BE SOCIALIST OR REMAIN AS A WALL STREET COLONY... and you are only its new manager.
