    well, we have a new hegemonic party like in the old times and the drug war is still ongoing, but the right and neoliberalism are demonised and seeing as fringe plus left ideas are becoming more popular so i say 60% bloomer 40% doomer, definitely better than our northern neighbors.

    how are things in guatemala?

      Isn’t Morena significantly better than the PRI and PAN were?

      Guatemala has seen a strong return of leftism. The problem is that most “socialists” are social-Democrats inspired by Bernie Sanders of all people. I get he was popular here but it’s sad how we look to a foreign senator instead of reflecting off our own leftist politicians.

      Still, I’d much rather have them around than the far-right fascists that have been ruling for decades. It’ll just be a while before any form of radical leftism gains popularity at the national level.
