my delay was due to writing checks and getting my cover letters and vouchers in order to mail to the IRS

as Latins have always described the values to me, it involves revolutionary rhetoric. if that's a revolution from those who originally led the revolution against Spain, then fine, that comment was wrong. the main point was that the motherland and Latin countries reached their socialist statuses completely separately

How much of that do you figure is due to their Catholic background?

Can see latinos being more family/downtrodden focused when everyone is raised Catholic.

Yeah, their original revolutions, like ours, were liberal; Marx was decidedly not a big fan of Simon Bolivar. Socialists co-opting him is a very recent development.

And broadly labeling them and Spain "socialist" still seems kind of useless. They're more left-wing than us, but that's not exactly hard. Do you think every country outside of America and some Asian micronations is "socialist"?
