Typo posted:The same is true of Argentina and natural gas, it's just that the government seems to be distinctively less successful there. Literally every time I read more about Argentinean government my  gets longer and more intense.

Wait so I was under the impression that Petrobras is run essentially like a normal corporation just that Brazil has 51% of its shares, was it always a corrupt clientalism machine?

Did he also mention how Portugal was once pluricontinental and how Sebastian will one day return to restore Portugal's empire and glory?

So I have this crusty old geography professor who says that he fled Nazi Germany as a child and went to Argentina to go live on a farm until the 1950's when he emigrated here to go to college. Could someone give the low down on what Argentina was like during the war and what life was like in the immediate post-war years? I understand that there were some Nazi sympathies and dictatorships and that Peron was elected in the aftermath but I never really got a good lesson in what it was like...

NEED TOILET PAPER posted:A+ Puerto Rico posting. Do you guys think you could square the circle if congress offered special constitutional amendments for Puerto Rico on ascension to statehood? For the record I'm in favor of having Puerto Rico, Guam + the Northern Mariana islands become states and having either the virgin islands given to Canada or buying the British virgin islands from them to create a viable state.

Machado de Assis posted:Strangely enough, out of all this mess in Brazil, the one institution that's looking sane and non-terrible is the Brazilian Armed Forces, they've firmly distanced themselves from calls for a new military intervention as soon as nutcases started talking about it. How well has the military been doing since the 2000's?

I've done a lot of humanitarian work in Iquitos and my Peruvian friends who I worked with hate Keiko, but I'd like to get a general not 100 percent biased viewpoint if we have any Peru goons. Also how big of a deal is the shining path?

Rexicon1 posted:I am the rare leftist-leaning Cuban American and I don't think I'm an imbecile, but the way Castro implemented socialism gives me pause that it really could ever work via a centrally-planned economy. I don't think the ends justify the means if the means is absolute repression and control (which almost always leads to nepotism and cronyism). I'm sorry comrade the only failure was the failure to apply the immortal science correctly by the worker state which is of course the fault of capitalist infiltrators and their 'dissident' third-wayist allies.

Homework Explainer posted:are you asking in cuba's case specifically or more generally? because the way unions operate in cuba is the way they operate in other socialist countries: as mediators between the party, managers and the workers in each firm The reading you gave us makes them sound like neutered speedbumps for local party policy.

Homework Explainer posted:the reading also details how that might have been true in 1960, but in the decade after unions found far greater degrees of autonomy and a key role in the system dealing with the "non-antagonistic contradictions," as the cubans borrowed from mao. it's a mistake to assume unions would have the exact same role they do in a capitalist country and to present any deviation from that role as some kind of betrayal I read and I still don't see how the SPDE or how any of the labor organs made Cuba actually democratic at all. What I'm saying here is that is that independent verification is needed like with the healthcare system and I just don't see it in any of these sources.

Fuschia tude posted:Why is that, anyway? How did the tropics and South America end up so much more densely settled than the original populations in the north? They were full fledged high intensity agriculture civilizations with every incentive (no horses, no pastoral animals other than Llamas) to make the people number go up. Also corn and potatoes with additional supplement crops like quinoa and amaranth plus things like peppers are monstrously efficient source of calories. Though you could certainly still mess things up and fall apart like the Mayans did. Otoh it's my opinion that the Inca had probably one the best agricultural and food distribution systems devised by humanity up to that point.
