Gusano, escuálido, pitiyanqui, bobaliberal, bolsominion, kulak, pitita, and other local words like it, come from a revolutionary context. They’re not racialized terms. They’re specifically used to denote counterrevolutionary or reactionary elements in our societies. But these terms can also denote traitors in general, as in class or race traitors, people who betray the interests of their own people in favor of the US, who prostrate themselves like Milei did with Trump recently. It is this servility, this submission, this spinelessness towards US interests and views, that we shit on when we say gusano.
