Of all the South American left movements, they’ve probably had it the hardest.

Every nominally left candidate since turned out to be an IMF bootlicking ghoul.
There are things that the administrative state can do that are extremely valuable though, like stop bulldozing tent cities
That's good, any progress like that is worth it!
