I've spent a bit of time in the country, it's beautiful and if you like slow cooked BBQ the food is amazing.

But I've had this same conversation a million fucking times. People love their new libertarian incel president because of his "common sense" reforms. And the changing economy is "proof socialism doesn't work"

Like yeah, ok buddy. The "left" ideology is essentially 3rd way dem BS. The founder of Peronism was a simp for fucking Mussolini.

Lots of very strong opinions from people that have no fucking clue what left wing economics are or can be. It drives me insane. Like, outside of the MAGA freaks, back home people at least know the difference when I talk about this kinda shit.

Anyone else encounter this? Like there's more semi-mainstream socialist movements in LATAM, no? Why do people think these Peronist bitches are socialists?

    That's what happens when you dissapear a minumum 20k leftists from your society, those people and their children would have been some of the better organizers and agitators now if they weren't dead
