Latin America continues to turn Left

While American rightwingers and their ideological clones in parts of Asia, Middle East and Europe are singing hallelujah to dog-eat-dog capitalism, Latin America, that part of the world which has traditionally and unilaterally been regarded in the United States as 'our backyard' under the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, is fast turning Left again.

China's People's Daily has published a rather perspective, naunced and insightful analysis of the Left Swing in the land of Augusto César Sandino, Che Guevara and Salvador Allende. History, it seems, is still progressively and dialectically vibrant.
