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.

I agree, though I'm not sure I'd use the term 'bourgeois' to describe him or his revolution as I don't think either work as appropriate or accurate descriptions.
