What a turnaround this year has had in Latin American politics. Bolsonaro took power at the start of the year, seemingly setting up the biggest country in South America, and probably the wider region, to return to the era of semi-fascist juntas. Later in January, the US did everything short of an overt military intervention to overthrow the Venezuelan government, as part of what seemed to be plan to finally crush them, Nicaragua, and Cuba.

Now Chile, ground zero for neoliberalism, has over a million people in the streets. Ecuador had a revolt against IMF demanded austerity so massive the government fled the capital. Now the anti-austerity ticket won in Argentina, after Macri signed up for the biggest IMF deal ever.

I'm not saying the situation is completely reverse, and these people's movements will certainly have some defeats and betrayals going forward, but goddamn has the momentum shifted quickly.

i admittedly have a lot of trouble figuring out how peronism works, but in my defense so does anybody outside of argentina and possibly anybody inside of argentina

as best i can tell it's a sticker you slap on your movement with the approval of the previous iteration of the peronist movement, which believed in ???

When Peron actually returned to the country the right-wing Peronists massacered the waiting left-wing Peronists at the airport. If that helps.

The way I understand it is: I don't.

Just don't think about Argentina or its politics and you'll live a long, happy life.

(and can't post for 21 days!)

The ultimate political project for Peron was to destroy the Left by providing just enough welfare to pre-empt a revolutionary program, which by necessity also makes it anti-austerity. So Peronism ended up in a superposition of patriotism where people project their own values onto the idea of Peronism despite the actually existing history.

Peron is a lot like Huey Long. A man who both wanted an empowered populace . But not an empowered radical workers movement. Who sought to accomplish the first with various programs that promoted the people’s welfare while engaging in policies to shutdown worker empowerment movements.
