***Wasn’t Chile just a few decades ago seen as a thriving economy and most free market? Now they as well are flirting with socialism.***

Again? I thought they learned their lesson with Salvador Allende back in 1973!
You can vote in Socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it!

From this article “ He had declared that his government would be feminist, and that his cabinet, in a first for Latin America, would be predominately female; fourteen out of twenty-four ministers would be women, including the secretaries of defense and the interior. Two ministers were openly gay. Many of Boric’s officials were young leftists, like himself.” So basically he doesn’t want meritocracy, he wants social justice.
