    Pretty much. As much as they want to avoid admitting it, cultural elements of their environment have stuck with them. It's very hard to break out of a cultural bind and very few ever accomplish that.

      Is the problem just time? Does the western left need more time for anti-imperialists to chip away at liberalism?

        I wish I knew. I'm technically part of the West too. But Latin America is in a weird position where it is and isn't part of the West, depending on who you ask.

          Oh, when I say West I meant more the chauvinist type you see in the US, western Europe. I don't mean like Evo Morales.
