Straight forward question. Been trying to gauge the man’s politics and I think he leans more toward being an anti-colonial nationalist rather than an outright socialist. Still based and deserving of critical support, but maybe not the next Thomas Sankara; not that he needs to be, but it’d be cooler if he was.

    Is he a representative of the bourgeoisie? Does he support (or is supported by) national bankers, landowners, industrialists? What is his political power base?

      Not a classic one but a petty bourgeoisie. No against capitalism and free market etc etc. He’s military petty bourgeoisie with nationalist rhetoric.

        Why are you telling he is petit bourgeois or has a petit bourgeois power base? Which information do you have to prove your claim?
