Latin America is traditionally seen as a continent set apart from colonial projects elsewhere, the outcome of its long experience of settlement since the 16th century. Yet it truly belongs in the history of the global expansion of white-settler populations from Europe in the more recent period. Today's elites are largely the product of the immigrant European culture that has developed during the two centuries since independence.

Sounds like the same garbage our border jumpers want to impose on the USA.
I guess it's better to live under the dictatorship of one's own race or religion than under a democratic government of all the people.
At least to some, not me.
BTW, almost everybody in Chile is descended from European and Indian people ~ virtually the opposite of neighboring Argentina where almost nobody is descended from any Indian ~ that population having been essentially exterminated.
Uh - no. The "virulent dislike" of Chávez is motivated by the fact that he's a two bit thug dictator nutcase who fancies himself as sharing the stage with the world's big boys.
You're correct in stating that Hugo is a two-bit thug - but then, they all are... Mugabe, Mbeki?, Castro,
But it's always useful to use some good old race hatred against the productive class to seize power, and then consolidate power by redistributing the nation's wealth.
Back during the 2006 election campaign, I took part in a pro-Republican street rally during which I encountered a young man apparently of South American Indian extraction who wore a Ché Guevara t-shirt. Between shouts of "Bush is a Nazi," he was yelling at the mostly white Republican demonstrators to go back to Europe. I yelled back at him, "Viva, Barrientos!" [Bolivian president René Barrientos Ortuño had Guevara hunted down and killed] and "Viva, Pinochet!" [Former Chilean president Augusto Pinochet Ugarte remains the bête noir of the international left], but I don't think he even understood who these people were.
Hmmm....wonder if he ever heard of Alberto Fujimora.
Probably Fujimora is an honorary White person.
Why does so much of the rest of the world hate modern civilization? Oh well, travel brochures will soon read, TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE 15th CENTURY, VISIT SOUTH AMERICA!
This is a truly great plan.......having worked so fr*ckin well in Africa.
Well, the European elite is a BIG problem in Latin American countries. The problem is the alternative, Hugo Chavez bobbleshead clones. Both groups are blood-suckers. Neither have the intellectual tools nor the desire to create a wealth-producing economy.
Former Spanish colonies will continue to be basket-cases for decades, maybe centuries.
Socialism is getting more power in the world.
A very disturbing sign.
Socialism = communism.
Redistribution of wealth = seize property and give it to those who don't deserve it.
Wonder how he'd like bowing to Mecca 5 times a day ~ big surprise eh@?!!!
Why limit it to the South?
