Got in a somewhat argument with a friend about this. I was under the impression that it was essentially far right with a different name for the sake of being different. His take was “It’s like just the good parts of socialism”

    The Kirchners are literally attacked constantly by the US. They are leftists. Sure, they arent communists, they are social democrats, but they are much better than the latin american standard fascist. They investigated the crimes of the Videla dictatorship and are antiimperialists. Thats a fact. Perón was a left wing social democrat. As i already said in my original comment, he became a reactionary in the 1970s when he started massacring leftists including left wing peronists. I already said this, so why do you repeat it?

      I mean, they are centre left I guess, neoliberals who go for more progressive politics, but that’s it, of course they are better than average fascist or Bolsonaro and so on, but they aren’t great either. What bothers me more is the they are the reason why communist parties don’t have greater support, since they absorb all the leftist people. I think investigating the crimes of some military dictator is the least thing you could do.

      Because in my opinion he didn’t became a reactionary in the 70’s, his heart always stood with right wing peronism, he supported left wing peronism because it gave him greater popular support and everything was constantly begin stirred by military dictatorships so he didn’t have much of an option, what happened is just his ideas coming to a realization.

          I won’t deny though that in praxis his politics throughout the years resemble a lot to people like Gadaffi and are very akin to socialist countries (not marxists). I didn’t want to say he was a fascist, just that he had varied ideas which dance on one political spectre and the other.
