after this guy and Castillo, can we stop hyping up the next ‘left’ south American politicians as the next coming of Chavez? I think the period of progressive social politics is dead unless theres another big people’s movement
Most left-leaning Latin American presidents have been lib since the first pink wave. Chavez and Morales were the only standouts that I can think of. Most of the others quickly capitulated to the right or were moderate socdems at best.
Correa was pretty good even if he was a Socdem, he made a lot of progress helping the people of Ecuador
That is true. I think that a lot of people here (and in the left in general) have shifted towards South America for their fix of electoral politics since the one’s in America and in the west are too alienating for us. Everybody is stuck in :vote:
lol it’s precisely because of this guy and Castillo that I can’t get too excited about Gustavo Petro in Colombia
