I’ve spent a bit of time in the country, it’s beautiful and if you like slow cooked BBQ the food is amazing.

But I’ve had this same conversation a million fucking times. People love their new libertarian incel president because of his “common sense” reforms. And the changing economy is “proof socialism doesn’t work”

Like yeah, ok buddy. The “left” ideology is essentially 3rd way dem BS. The founder of Peronism was a simp for fucking Mussolini.

Lots of very strong opinions from people that have no fucking clue what left wing economics are or can be. It drives me insane. Like, outside of the MAGA freaks, back home people at least know the difference when I talk about this kinda shit.

Anyone else encounter this? Like there’s more semi-mainstream socialist movements in LATAM, no? Why do people think these Peronist bitches are socialists?

    I dated an Argentinian immigrant to the US whose father left the country during the 1980s. They were anticommunists because the communists took over Argentina and persecuted everyone. By “the communists” they mean the military junta that’s most infamous for persecuting communists.
