It is a slightly strange piece. Pitting the government against "the
country's social movements", well, actually in this case against
cooperative miners, who themselves have been in often violent conflict

with the miners in the state industry -- which is "social movement
against social movement", in which the government int he past had to
walk a minefield to try to resolve.
I posted this comment on Richard's FB timeline:
So, how would a "socialism from below" government deal with the
consequences of declining commodity prices? Essentially, the "pink tide"
governments have been confronted with the same harsh realities as Syriza
in Greece. A government might be led by conscious Marxists who have
fully absorbed the lessons of Tony Cliff but you can't build socialism
from below in a single country, right?
