The Argentines are the only ones who disinfected themselves from Communism, and that required not only killing the Tupamaro guerrillas but their families, their teachers and their teachers’ families, etc., anyone even remotely associated with the Communists was hunted down and killed.

Thanks for posting this. I need to get up to speed in regard to how the Argentinians dealt with the Communists. What was the time frame of that?

One error: the terrorist group in Argentina was the People's Revolutionary Army. The Tupamaros were in Uruguay.

Wiki article, so expect the usual left-wing bias:

Note in particular that the "suppression of dissidents" meant suppression of Communists often receiving support from Cuba and emulating Castro.

As the Polish anti-Communist merc RafaƂ Gan-Ganowicz said when asked what he thought about killing so many human beings, "I wouldn't know. I've only ever killed Communists."

I don’t seem to remember that happening. Alberto Fernandez was quite far left; that’s one reason Milei ousted him.

I’m debating moving there, buying a ranch and raising my kids there.
