English Preface by translators and producers of this translated version
When trying to understand current events in the ferment of South America today, the struggles and movements that have galvanised the peoples of Bolivia are important. The character of Evo Morales from outside of Bolivia, was difficult for us to understand without the guide of this document. It contains a class-based history of Bolivia up to the time of its publication in March 2020.
This Founding Document of the Partido Comunista Revolucionario De Bolivia (PCR Bolivia) was extremely useful to us. We felt it may also prove of use to others. The Spanish original is to be found at this page of their web-site: https://tinta-roja.com/1-documentos-fundamentales/
Evo Morales makes his first appearance in this Founding Document from the PCR Bolivia on p. 44.
The PCR Bolivia is a member of the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (CIPOML or ICMLOP). Their website is at: http://cipoml.net/en/?cat=3
This Founding Document was translated using Google Translate. We fully acknowledge that this is very far from a perfect and fluid translation. However, the most egregious potential errors we hope, have been removed. We remain responsible for any remaining errors.
A glossary and abbreviations page has been added for the non-Bolivian reader. We have tried to conform to the ‘feel’ of the original using copies of the photographs and the quotations.
