but Hispanic culture is mostly Spanish, just like American culture is mostly British. It seems odd to have a definition of "Western" that reads out Spain.

well Latin populations have in large part adopted socialism as a response to the "Western" colonialism they fought

obviously modern Spain is pretty socialist, too, but it's all contextual. modern, Spanish socialism has little relation to the genesis or promulgation of socialist beliefs in the Latin world.

Western culture doesn't necessarily exclude socialism.

Scots are incredibly socialist

Define socialist.

EDIT: This probably sounds like a shitpost that will earn a dictionary link, but I'm genuinely confused at where you're getting literally anything you said here. Latin America didn't say "frick you dad" and turn socialist in the 19th century. If their more left-wing bent is a reaction to anything it's to the juntas we installed during the 20th century.
