    Both are abused by criminals and narcos and dictators

    Everything is subsumed and used by those hungry for power, and with the means to solidify it. That doesn’t mean that the content of their claimed political thought doesn’t have meaning, or that we can never conclude anything about humanity or its ideologies from looking at history, understanding theory, analyzing culture, power …

    Maybe understand why people here seem ‘extreme’ left, instead of just writing nonsensical, and obviously bad faith or confused arguments.

        Mate, a populist fascist is a populist fascist in sud America, Greenland or in the US. You don’t need to live in the country to see how trump, bolsonaro, duterte or milei are just shit human beings that prey on poor and ignorant people. That’s what populists do, we have seen it a million times in the past and since you mention education, that’s the only hope that people learn critical skills and stop voting for these assholes ( or better even, they hang them upside down)

            The last twentyONE years is what brought us to TODAY.

            Again, you are the one who mentioned education. That’s the only thing we can use to prevent making the same mistake over and over.

            Had someone handled Hitler and miles (Bolsonaro, Berlusconi… the list is long and incredibly reperitive) the way they need to be treated we wouldn’t repeat the same pricey mistake over and over. And south America should have learnt a thing or two about fascist dictators by now.
