Please tell me in which Latin American countries democratic socialism is gaining in popularity without it being shoved down the throats of the middle class via fraudlent elections, political manuvering, blackmail, violence and blackmail. Chile and Costa Rica,as exceptions(maybe Brazil,Colombia and Peru),but what about Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Argentina. El Salvador will soon enter the group. Latin American democratic socialism smells very much like pre 1990 eastern european socialism with the attempts to legislate perpetual presidents and other politicos. It will be interesting to see what happens when the petro wellfare wells dry up and the masses have to return to work. Don’t take me wrong as I am not in favor of savage capitalism but some balance has to be reached
