12, Revolutionary nationalism makes the constituent parts of the community complementary; it means agreement between the classes; equality of opportunity for all; an economy of participation in which all may progress in accordance with their capacities without prejudice to the rights of others. To us Bolivians, nationalism does not mean xenophobia or class hatred; it is based on the juridical and social order in harmony with economic and political factors. The nationalist revolution has created in Bolivia a new status in economic and social relations whose expression is the national State, the organ of the people and not the sectional instrument of any group or social class. As the President of Bolivia, Dr. Victor Paz Estenssoro, has said, ”… the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement is a happy combination of workers, peasants and members of the middle class, closely allied by their common interest, in opposition to the political and economic despotism of the mine-owners and feudal land-owners, which has changed the physiognomy and character of Bolivia and brought justice for all, whereby privilege has vanished and only ability is recognized. From slaves, it has made freemen, and it has set free gigantic productive energies over the face of the land.”
