The electoral circus in Honduras has ended as usual in a bourgeois state. Many millions of dollars were spent in this poor and underdeveloped country. The slogans were the same: promises to solve all of society's problems. But the only thing that moves the politicians is seeing how they can take advantage of this farce to help their personal interests, and those of the national and foreign oligarchy, which funds their electoral campaigns.
This process has concluded with sorrow, not glory, for the immense majority, especially the working class, which returns to the calamitous reality of more people unemployed, health centers and public hospitals without medicine, many schools without desks or enough teachers, and the highest rate of violent deaths in the world (86 for every 100,000 inhabitants annually). Corruption is growing while 40% of the population lives on less than a dollar a day.

Electoral farce: bosses' weapon to stop revolutionary struggle
The current crisis that plagues worldwide capitalism-imperialism has plunged Honduras into an unprecedented political, economic, social and security crisis. Neither elections nor "21st Century socialism" will improve the life of the working class. These are only a mockery and farce invented by capitalism to divert or stop the true revolutionary struggles that will prepare the working class to fight to free itself from the exploiters' yoke once and for all.
Xiomara Castro ran as the candidate of the recently founded Party of Liberty and Re-Foundation (LIBRE). She is the wife of the ex- President, who was overthrown in a military coup planned and supported by the national bourgeoisie and the US empire. Despite massive support from many organized groups of city workers, farmworkers, and pseudo-revolutionaries, she lost the election. As expected, the forces of the ultra-right were not going to allow their power to be taken away easily.
The LIBRE Party, in its eagerness to come to power and implement "21st century socialism" through a "re-founding" of the bourgeois state, promised reforms that clearly were in no way quantitative, much less qualitative, changes to transform society. Instead, their plan is an accommodation to a new class of exploiters. All government structures exist to serve the national and international bourgeoisie.
The reality of Venezuela shows that this socialism has already failed. Not even the most basic needs of the masses, like food and security, have been met. The ultraright in Honduras cynically used this fact to help defeat Xiomara Castro.

Proletarian revolution:the only way to end savage capitalism
There is no doubt that it is not through bourgeois democratic processes that the working class will liberate ourselves forever from the calamities created by capitalism. Only a proletarian revolution led by a communist party will guarantee the taking of real power and control for the benefit of the masses.
While bourgeois democracy is enthroned in power to safeguard the interests of the capitalist system, proletarian revolution advocates for the decisive struggle against capitalism, bringing the masses of the population into the direct struggle for communism, that is, without passing through socialism. We have learned from the errors committed in the processes of struggle, in the Soviet Union, China and other countries, that we must fight directly for communism.
