*** What are you doing here in New York City?

*** And what are you doing now in Bolivia?

*** What was the title?

*** What kind of artisans?

*** An anarcho-syndicalist federation?

*** This federation still exists?

*** And this relates to your current community work?

*** Is there necessarily a contradiction?

*** Is this related to the Quechua concepts of hanan and hurin?

*** How does this relate to the concept of synthesis in Marxist and Hegelian dialectics?

*** Some would argue that was a vulgarization of dialectics…

*** The current Bolivian situation seems to be one of many contradictions…

*** How?

*** This raises some interesting questions about identity…

*** From whom?

*** Your mother spoke Aymara?

*** So your antepasados [ancestors] were indigenous?

*** And yet you say that you’re a mestizo. Just because you grew up speaking Spanish as your first language?

*** Your indigenous side and your Jewish side. The Jews were Marranos [crypto-Jews]?

*** And Quechua as well, no?

*** In Bolivia, the indigenous are a majority and the mestizos a minority, no?

*** You’ve said that the current Bolivian government is not truly an indigenous government.

*** But is Evo doing that?

*** He kicked McDonald’s out of the country, no?

*** You have a Starbucks in La Paz?

*** But the COB has not always been a part of Evo’s machine…

*** What does that mean?

*** In favor of what?

*** But you still hold out hope that there can be some kind of transformative process?

*** Do you believe that an indigenous government is possible? Or do you think that it’s a contradiction in terms?

*** A daily process?

*** Where did you go?

*** How do you respond to the criticism that the indigenous opposition, like CONAMAQ, have allowed themselves to become tools of the right and of imperialism?

*** In the indigenous movements that have gained ground in Bolivia over the past 10 or 15 years, do you see a link back to the old anarchist movements?

*** Are they consciously anarchist?

*** Yes, but that’s urban youth. I mean in the indigenous movements…

*** Oh? You have a point of view, and you express it very strongly…

*** What do you mean by religiosity and spirituality?

*** Of what?

*** What does that have to do with the roaches in my apartment?

*** The entire world economy is predicated on waste.
