    President Castro has also faced a divided congress and hostile mayors in many municipalities. The highly militarized police forces and the army have strong ties to the US. Further, a corrupt legal system and the abiding influence of Honduras’s oligarchic, very wealthy families who control much of the country’s industry, commerce and agriculture challenge popular rule. That Castro has secured her many achievements under all these constraints is remarkable.

    it’s remarkable that any leader in latin america is capable of doing this and these conditions make me skeptical that the us empire will ever lose ground to brics.

      That’s okay. You’re not really a materialist. You’re just a sad liberal. Your guys’ pessimism doesn’t phase me one bit. You stay tuned and keep liking those posts, buddy.
