This is much worse than trump. Trump just tried to suggest to his supporters to do a coup — Castillo actually tried It himself.

@jeffs4483 the constitution doesn’t allow it which will why the congress was able to arrest Castillo. And that includes majorly of his own party or allied parties.

@nbarnechea just a guess but is the support for communism or leftist weaker in Lima than the poorer inland areas?

@jeffs4483 but why do you defend Castillo coup attempt? Authoritarian leftist are the w0rst. I see you in other comments calling it a coup against Castillo

@jeffs4483 why do you defend authoritarian leftist regimes? So what if 10 or so other leftist authoritarian leaders in Latin America defend Castillo, does that make it right? All that proves is how terrible LATAM leaders are.. and the voters in LATAM.
2
Several authoritarian leftist in LATAM are defending Castillo too. Horrible. Includes the new Colombian president Petro.
2
@P4DR And those conditions weren't met. Therefore, the congress was able to remove him from power. They followed the constitution. So what's your point? Is your point that you will defend terrible leaders so long as they are leftist?
2
Just a handful. But I imagine all the authoritarian leftist from AMLO to Maduro to the Cuban leader and maybe the new Colombian leftist president will defend Castillo. That’s why Latin America has problems — they defend these terrible authoritarian leaders.
2
@jeffs4483 you names like 1/5 of the LATAM countries not s majority. But it could become a majorly given the authoritarian leftist in LATAM.

Prehistoric Postmodernist the Bolivia coup? The temp president held new elections. Venezuela? So you do support dictatorships like Maduro? No wonder you defend Castillo
1
Prehistoric Postmodernist but US wasn’t behind Venezuela or Bolivia. And if you really think the US was the one doing the “coup” (can it be a coup to get someone removed from office that isn’t the rightful leader?), you are suggesting the CIA is horribly bad it’s job so you should never fear the cia and they will never be successful.

Can’t argue with that

@Freetheworkers I don't understand Latin America at all. They take the worse of communism and the worst of right wing to make ideological leftist economic policies with conservative social views. Asia showed that to grow from poor to middle income to wealthy involves pro business friendly policies. Even China and Vietnam dropped leftist economic policies with LATAM leftist leaders to the economic left of so called communist China and Vietnam. Then there are the success in India (last decade), Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc.

@Freetheworkers LATAM left wing is nothing like northern Europe left wing which is generally much more business friendly, less corrupt, not authoritarian, very socially progressive, and who manage their 'welfare' much better than Latin America. It seems northern Europe realized that you can't just give money away and leave it at that. They actually invest in the people with a target of of improving the economy. Whether one agrees with left wing economic policies in northern or not, it's clear they at least making reasonable policy decision and not just trying to buy votes like LATAM left wing. I'm not going to say Chile's new left wing president is good but he is at least more similar with Europe's left wing. He seems more practical and he calls out human rights on the left in Latin America, including Maduro.

@LordDefekator they end up in jail because the people vote for criminals. The office doesn’t turn them into criminals, they always were criminals

@Freetheworkers Jeff S is a communist defending authoritarian leftist
1
Prehistoric Postmodernist has Castillo considered not doing a coup?
1
Prehistoric Postmodernist what is a 10 percenter? And what’s anti dictator Vote? What is obvious is you defend leftist dictators and wannabe dictators in Castillo and Maduros. Probably also cuba.
1
@P4DR you subscribe to Grayzone which is a mis info organization where there is evidence it’s founder has ties to Russia which is why they ONLY write positive stories about Russia China Maduro and Assad in Syria. Says a lot about you

Prehistoric Postmodernist he attempted to bully a sec of state isn’t anywhere near on par with “he attempted to fire all of congress and enable dictatorial powers”. How bad must own be to try to equate the two.
1
Prehistoric Postmodernist and my whole point was that what Castillo did was much worse - not on par. But you disagreed with me that they aren’t in par with each other.
1
AMLO is horrible. No different than Castillo or Maduro. same for Colombias new President Petro. Leftist authoritarians are a plague in Latin America
1
@Freetheworkers trump was bad but these communist want to try to equate it to Trump. Trump didn’t try to get rid of congress himself. It was his supporters in an attempt that clearly had no power to it unlike Castillo who has so much power in his actions as he literally tried to remove congress with his presidential powers.
1
@tnickknight he pushed them in to the capitol. Castillo cut out all the worthless attempt of having a thousand people attempt the coup and tried to actually do a coup with his powers. Are you seriously arguing that it would have been less Evil if trump decided to remove all of congress and have unlimited power than to do what he did - anger a crowd and send them to the capitol?

@jeffs4483 The map says there are over 20 countries and over 30 countries + territories in Latin America. Or 32 countries and many other sovereign territories in the Americas south of the US.
