these articles are both about Ecuador and its voting on a new constitution.

this constitution is being used to break of business and land owning power, or at least, that's the intent.

i want to know what you guys think about it, because i think its always a good thing when a new group of people try to become independent of the u.s. business class, BUT i don't particularly like state socialism...
