Of all the South American left movements, they’ve probably had it the hardest. The little bit of momentum they had in the 80s was fucked over by probable op (or at least tacit funding from the right around the world) Sendero luminoso. Every nominally left candidate since turned out to be an IMF bootlicking ghoul.

      They're going to kneecap the movement every half step of the way and it's just gonna be so depressing. At least they picked up like 23 seats I think it was, but it's not enough right now sadly
