      Still waiting to hear what Boric's policies actually entail. So much of modern Latin American Leftism is shit like "Don't export all our raw materials at bargain basement prices to foreigners", "maybe spend a bit more on public services that already eclipse those in the American imperial core", and "don't explicitly cooperate with CIA cut-outs to wage guerrilla wars on our neighbors".

      The bar for Leftism is so comically low. And it kinda always has been, even straight back to the 1970s. "Hey, maybe lets plan an economy such that a super-majority of residents see real material benefit over the next generation" is the thing Americans will conduct a genocide to prevent.
