pink wave

Americans were promised a “pink wave” of self-proclaimed “nasty women” who would reshape the Democratic Party and play a bigger role in government. Indeed, in 2018, a record number of women — notably including Black women and other women of color — were elected to local and federal offices.

And the movement he heads – chavismo – was once a beacon for the world’s left, a socialist revolution that won elections, empowered the poor and challenged US hegemony in Latin America. It was the red foam of the “pink wave” that took power in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua. Jeremy Corybn and Oliver Stone, among others, paid homage.
