        Peru also has a US puppet in government so dismissing it outright because “gen Z protests” is weird.

        The original “gen Z protest” was from Kenya last year and it had a heavy communist involvement.

          Don’t worry that won’t change. It will be an even more hardline puppet who has less of an issue enacting even more austerity measures. The empire’s strategy is to squeeze the people to compel them to rebel. Astroturf it, capture it, and pass it off as “organic” in their manufactured media machine.

          What youth revolution has ever been positive? Almost every single one that successfully grows to that scale is manipulated, not run by the youth but by experienced organisers from the empire who are conducting the organising behind the scenes.

          Small youth protests are often cool, actually led by youth in most cases. But the ones that successfully scale up manage to achieve that only with the help of experienced older organisers.

    Don’t y’all be so cynical. Obviously the CIA is working overtime to coopt this, as they do for every protest. But the fact that there are massive protests happening concurrently throughout the world is a positive indicator for revolutionary potential. Through these struggles, the people will learn through trial and error (and error, and error…) the necessity of proper organization. Eventually, a cool one will be successful, which will become the defining revolutionary model of the 21st century. Let’s be honest, we don’t even know exactly what that looks like yet

      I think that’s probably harsh. Yes, burgerlanders do the bare minimum, but statistically it’s mostly young men who are completely fried. There’s a lot of resistance otherwise, and it’s about as much as you would expect for people to put up inside the imperial core where an overfunded security state encroaches, and the people’s base needs are still mostly satisfied.

    Copycat Nepal for the NED/CIA. Is it also through Pisscord? Or maybe through shitter or whatsapp (Meta).

    Young ones learn dammit. Please learn who is playing you.

    Lemme google Peru IMF…

    IMF Executive Board Approves Two-Year US$11 Billion Flexible Credit Line Arrangement for Peru

    IMF Executive Board Approves New Two-Year US$5.4 Billion Flexible Credit Line Arrangement for Peru

    Peru: IMF Staff Concluding Statement of the 2025 Article IV Mission

    Policy efforts are needed to revive the domestic capital market. Since the pandemic, public offerings in the domestic capital market have remained low. A recovery has been curtailed by seven rounds of private pension withdrawals, most recently in 2024, which limit pension funds’ investments. It is critical to maintain the prohibition against new private pension withdrawals, as approved in the recent pension reform, as they undermine the functioning of the domestic capital market, increase financing costs, and elevate the risks of old-age poverty. Authorities’ plans to introduce new retail investment products, such as sovereign exchange-traded funds (ETFs), could help to attract funds back into the securities market …

    Further investments in developing and exporting critical minerals would increase potential growth. Peru holds the second-largest global reserves of copper, a critical mineral projected by the International Energy Agency to face a worsening global supply shortage. However, a US$62 billion pipeline of mining investment projects has been mostly stalled for many years due to bureaucratic complexity and social conflicts

    Basically - We want you to cut even more services and get that international investment mine up and running.

    who-did-this Wonder why there is “pension fund reform”?

    Will they pick an already known popular person, maybe a media figure zelensky-pain or a cut and paste guaido who has ties to USAID/NED? The answer might suprise you!
