you'd think they'd have learned their lesson. not that the US will coup them although yes the US will coup them, but that allende was noted for saying that while he was in power, he had no actual power. you can't social democracy your way out of a bourgeois state

Thats a very weird take, there are many clear pisco types in chile. I always thought the color came from the aging in wood barrels anyways.

Nah he's right. It's like Yanks calling themselves democratic socialists. They're all just social democrats with new and improved radical branding.

Chomsky's called himself a libertarian socialist for decades. It's neither new nor improved in terms of branding lol.

Not gonna lie that I'm kind of sceptical about Boric because Canada's chickenshit "Social Democratic" leader tweeted out in support of his victory, while in the past this guy has thrown Corbyn under the bus and didn't condemn the coup in Bolivia.

If people want to look for reasons to consider Boric a fake leftist they'll probably find them, since the makeup of congress requires him to make in-roads with the establishment center-left (probably adding a few of them to his cabinet) to get anything passed, and he's made statements against the human rights record in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, among others. Honestly, that kinda goes with the chilean political landscape - part of the reason that leftist movements have recently managed to break into the mainstream is that they've kept failed projects like Venezuela at arms' length, and Chile has a long history of the 'radical' left joining broad left-of-center coalitions.
He did call Israel a genocidal apartheid state, condemned the Bolivia coup and opposed chilean participation in the laughable 'aid convoy' fiasco, and he will, by all accounts, rule with a significant presence of the Communist Party of Chile, so I'd stop short of regarding him as a CIA shill.
Also I'm not one to blow the 'splitter' horn, but I can say that a lot of "Boric is a CIA shill" posts you'll come across come from trot and hoxhaist publications who were trying to drum up support for Eduardo Artés, so take them with a grain of non-revisionist salt.

PCO in Brazil is extremely deranged/hilarious as a result of being an incredibly fringe experiment on leftism. much beyond than any neotrotskyist platform and perfectly appropriate as a brazilian thing

Of course you can wish somebody further left had won, but when the chips are down I'd take a soft-left leader over a fascist any day.
