Why are latin americans so mad about the usa?

Why are latin americans so mad about the usa?

Is it because it protected them from being annexed by empires who would have civilised them and raised their standards of living like the British, French or Germans?

I have legit never seen someone mad about the USA.

The USA are the bad guys.

Shut up stupid Australian, you just published with more stupid arguments that I could see in my life

bait

they've been asshurt ever since the 1890s.
They seem to believe that Monroe Doctrine is not to their benefit.

But.. the only times Monroe doctrine ever went hot was French invasion of Mexico, and a dispute between the Dutch/Krauts and Venezuela.

Both ended in their benefit. But oh no. They just wanna be bitches

shut the fuck up liberia

what's wrong with removing commies?

the way you removed commies was through dictatorships which always ended with thousands of innocents dead, in massive debt to your country, for some (((reason))) and a non-existent economy

pay money :)

we keep trying, but when we go to do so we're always told to go home because the guy we're supposed to pay to was shot

:D

>protected them from being annexed by empires
But they helped the French the first time they invaded us? They were also on Spain's side on the whole "Cuba is a part of New Spain" affair.

>Monroe Doctrine is not to their benefit.
Fuck off cunt

I believe most of you wrongly overlook the issue of deglazing shallots when making sopa, given the well known qualities of monkey meat it is of extreme importance that the stock incorporates this taste as a subtle counterbalance.

>the only times Monroe doctrine ever went hot was French invasion of Mexico
You sent us a meme support. And confederates sent the same amount of support to the Frenchs, so really, so did nothing

The US became the Imperial power in the region. In the end they annexed it every sense but name.

South America is the US neighborhood, like eastern Europe is for Russia or China and SEA, or France and West Africa/Algeria.

>every sense but name
Hmmmm

>Why are latin americans so mad about the usa?

Hopefully you're not including us there.
Most Brazilians like the USA.

That may be, but when it came to its neighbour to the south the US was forced to accept compromise given its botched attempts at intervention during the Mexican revolution, which meant sucking it up when Mexico nationalized its oil industry or decided to support the Cuban revolutionary regime. Peaceful co-existence and cold war neutrality was pre-NAFTA the deal the US had come to accept with Mexico, hardly a position of dominance or imperial control, Mexico participated with nations like Egypt and Yugoslavia in the non aligned movement, often condemning American interventionism throughout the world and lending diplomatic support to causes often contrary to American interests.

To claim now that we were always under American control is highly delusional revisionism, even today what had for the most part been a pro-American regime during the Obama years has been forced to defy the will of the American president, it hardly is a relationship in which Mexico has accepted being dictated terms. And for this century at least much the same could be said of Latin America, with many countries opposing American projects for the region like the now defunct ALCA.

Don't even get me started on Central America

This guy gets it.

leftie brainwash, unironically

A better question is how have commie ideas taken root in Latin America? Is it the Spanish influence or have the Soviets sent their agents there or was the European diaspora to blame.

there aren't monkeys here it's 2 cold

lol

The only commie country in the region is Cuba and they were unironically forced into that position by American aggression, Venezuela is a totalitarian state but nominally socialist.

This.
Pick related is plebiscite, but still holds true to what is the overall opinion on America and Americans, at least in this country.

Plebit not blebicite.

Let's not split hairs with the socialism/communism difference (there is hardly any in practise). I mean how come South America is so prone to electing socialists?

I can't speak for them but I imagine that much the same as us their model is democratic socialism in Europe or do you actually think that memes aside our educated classes look at the USA as any sort of model? I mean obvious exceptions aisde There's also the factor that given the history of American intervention in the region many of them may have wanted to steer clear from regimes resembling the military dictatorships in their past.

Having said that you could hardly call left leaning governments the rule today, the pendulum is swinging back for most countries. We are an obvious exception given our particular relation to the US.

I don't mean today, I mean in the past (although Evo Morales is definitely present). It seems like the pendulum only swings between socialists and military dictators.

>democratic socialism
While a lot of Euro countries introduced socialist policies, the only truly socialist countries were not democratic.

There's no true socialist countries in Latin America either, even Bolivia and Ecuador are basically open for business would be welfare states.

Venezuela did arguably try. Anyway what are you getting at? You see alternance in between right and left leaning governments in Europe as well, it isn't the 20th century where aside from Cuba and Venezuela we have much in the way of military dictatorships, tho arguably Colombia is a police state and mine is being turned into one.

I'd simply like to know whether the leftie ideas were homegrown, imported from Western Europe or planted by Soviets, that's all.

We had our own socialist revolution before the Russians did (1910) so while there's some obvious Marxist influence our socialist ideals are for the most part homegrown, most other countries in the region imported their ideas from Western Europe, while yes there was some minor attempts at Soviet influence in the cold war period these were more than counteracted by the CIA and American influence.

The Cubans self radicalized for the most part and they apparently were later on very influential in Venezuela, but really most hardcore commies in the region are more likely to read French than Russian.

>It seems like the pendulum only swings between socialists and military dictators.
