With a few exceptions Latins of Central and South America seem to have a weakness to move to the radical left. maybe it’s poverty, maybe it’s the Catholic Church???

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.

Colombia and Chile were the two exceptions in LATAM. No longer.

The Catholic Church does seem to favor socialism over responsible freedom.
I fear too many Catholic Church officials wish for the time when they had unchallenged authority.

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!
