One. More. Time. Equality, equitable outcomes, fairness, equal distributions of wealth, these all bear NO PART WHATSOEVER in any system of economics, but most certainly not in any Marxist regime. It's the difference between what they say and what they do, always. Eventually, an adult figures out that the reality of what happens trumps words in a book, periodical, or web page.
I know what happened in South and Central America. I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis and Iran-Contra and the other conniptions. I also know that the Soviet Union intervened first in those countries, and that the USA subsequently cloaked it's response in "fighting Communism".
I personally wish that none of this had ever happened, and that the USA had continued to render economic aid and to develope trading partners in the Americas under the Monroe Doctrine. But even before THAT, the Europeans had victimized and exploited the Americas. It was never the case that as these native peoples acquired some aspects of Western culture, they were not exploited in the 17th and 18th and 19th centuries. There's no going back, most of them even speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English rather than their native languages.
The USA remains the most successful survivor of European colonialism, followed by Canada and Mexico. I'm in favor of ANYTHING that extends North American style success to Central and South America. But Marxism is the least likely candidate.
