21st Century Socialism Brings Great Changes to Ecuador

The Ecuadorian regime is part of the Bolivarian group associated with the Bolivarian Group in Venezuela and as such they are committed to 21st Century Socialism, whatever that means for each country. Rafael Correa is the popular Leftist leading Ecuador, and he has done many great things for the people of Ecuador. A comment from a recent visitor:

In my last visit to Ecuador I was really impressed by the remarkable changes and progress attained by this country. Superb highways, public hospitals with up to date technology, modern airports, new bridges, 911 Community Security Centers, eight hydroelectric dams under construction, free education from grammar school to university and last but not least half a million children who worked before in the mountains of city trash, today receive free education in modern public schools, including the famous Escuelas del Milenio. Ecuador has a program which offers scholarships to talented students. A humble worker in a textile factory, whose daughter passed with the highest score, the test required by the best universities of Europe and USA, in her case Oxford, said “I never thought that my daughter would have such a wonderful opportunity.” A young woman told me in a supermarket: “I am happy to live here because now we have dignity.”

The previous governments, all radical neoliberals dominated by the rich, did nothing to develop the productive forces of the nation. The Ecuadorian rich make lots of the money the way things are, so they don’t need the state for anything. So there has always been basically a Libertarian state in Ecuador. The previous governments never spent any money on education. Education was only for the rich. The class structure was rigid. If you were born poor, you stayed poor. If you were born rich, you stayed rich. This is the traditional way it has always been all over Latin America. The previous governments did not develop hydroelectric power either, nor did they develop any national infrastructure such as highways, hospitals, bridges, airports, etc. They didn’t even spend money on public security since the rich don’t want to be taxed to pay for that. By building national infrastructure, airports, dams, bridges, highways, etc, the regime shows the fallacy of neoliberalism which says the state must do nothing at all. They have retained the state’s role in providing security fo the people. They have built many new hospitals for the people with modern technology. Before, health care was only for the rich. Now it is for everyone. And they now offer free education for all through the university level. Wow! We don’t even have that in the USA! 500,000 children no longer live in trash dumps scavenging waste to survive as they did under the previous neoliberal regimes. Now they are all in school thanks to Bolivarian socialism. As you can see, Correa’s regime has brought dramatic improvements to Ecuador and to the lives of most Ecuadorians.

  1. Sounds nice.
    I have an acquaintance that is married to a Colombian woman. He was down there last year and swore to never go to that part of the world again. According to him there’s corruption everywhere in Colombia and by association led me to believe the same for rest of S. America. I’ve heard y’all need to be very cautious in Brazil as well.
    It’s inspirational to hear that Venezuela and Ecuador are rising above it all. I like the part about having dignity. I had envisioned retiring to Mexico or somewhere else south. Somewhere warm where a dollar goes far. Of course this was many years ago before the Cartels took over.
    Are Ecuadorian chicks hot ? Is there a proportionate number of supermodels that come out there ? I know Venezuela is regular factory for hotchicks.
    Ima keep an eye on this Ecuador thing. Looks promising.
