Who else falls into the list of famous Latin American populists/ socialists/ communists?

Question

It doesn't matter if they were radical or moderate, historical or current, political, martial, or underground. So far, I have Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez, and Michelle Bachelet.

Answer 1

Argentina's Juan Peron. He wasn't a communist, but his nationalization of certain industries could be seen as socialist, and he certainly had a strong populist appeal.

Answer 2

See, the libs started by starting their own radio network called "Air America" but when that didn't work (no one was listening and zero sponsorship) they decided to get into real politics instead of just bogus opinions. Mix that with a one word slogan "Change", millions of voters who probably shouldn't be allowed to vote do to low intelligence, indoctrination of the youth in the public schools and universities, news media thats has turned into opinion media, and massive financial backing by the socialist elite, and you get OBAMACARE! JFK is probably turning in his grave. Was almost going to say FDR as well but he was a closet socialist as well. He just enough commons sense to not force his agenda down the throats of the unwilling. In the long run, this has been actually good for America as his election has exposed the agenda and hypocrisy of the extreme left. Obama is toast 2012! Edit- LMAO-some of the responses from the left here are so hypocritical and inaccurate, it's actually humorous. First, accusing the right of flinging labels. C'mon, labels have been thrown around by ALL sides since the birth of man. It's not solely a conservative monopoly. Second, little girl, stating that only intellectuals support communism because (you are implying) they are somehow smarter than the average American is just a lie. To you it is probably pretty real because the only intellectuals you know are your professors, professional academics who DO NOT live in the real world and still get paid no matter what they spout. Third, hang out with Marxists, talk like a Marxist, you might just be labeled a Marxist, a communist, the socialist ideal. Fourth, who is to say the person asking the question is not a MODERATE Democrat who is pissed off that their party has been hijacked by extremists? Hypocrites, the lot of you.
