From the military dictatorships of the 70s and 80s, to the transition to democracy, the flood of privatizations and economic liberalization of the 90s, to the all-powerful statism of the so-called socialism of the 21st century. Latin America seems to be a kind of ideological pendulum between very radical opposites, full of revolutions, populism and attempts to seize power. Chavez and Maduro's Venezuela, Ortega's Nicaragua, Castro's Cuba, Correa's Ecuador and Evo Morales' Bolivia were good examples of this.
Now, however, this never-ending story of great and failed political contrasts may be coming to an end. In recent years we have witnessed the emergence of a new red tide, very different, however, from that of the beginning of the century, so different and so diluted that we could almost, almost speak of a pink tide. Is social democracy coming to Latin America? What could this political change mean? In this video we tell you all the details.
#LatinAmerica #Politics
Here in Ecuador, everybody likes empty promises that shine. Our leaders can promise a soccer field with synthetic grass for every town in the country. They will be elected without question. Forget one town, and there will be blood...
Sounds so similar to Brazil it even feels like we share a border 🤣 Cheers, Rusty!
@@rakasin We’re all along for the ride down here. There’s hardly borders if you know the path.
@@TheWolvesinthewoods Don't the opposition call them out on their fail promises to the public?
Which part of Ecuador are you from?
@@tauceti8060 Yes. But then the opposition just offers something just as preposterous. That’s why we are so back and forth. Right/Left. Free gas or free medical care or free futbal fields. We get all those and more if we let them just be corrupt. It’s our culture. The last president and his family(?) are just finishing up a contracted agreement to pave the coast with new sewers. We all know what’s happening. So we play the game. Vote for whoever gives us what we want. Or we burn them out of office. Literally.
Latin American politics is pretty insane
Because of the CIA Banana Republic
Nope CIA is not responsible for drugs, corruption and their leaders right now. It also has to do with geography and mentality, if you look at Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal they have much more crazy political shifts than other countries in EU. They had always much bigger communist parties and fascist supporters than elsewhere
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j CIA did a lot of messed up stuff. But stop blaming the CIA for Latin American problems. The simple reality is that Latin America LOVES populism, empty rhetoric and authoritarian strong men. And they neglect the actual stuff you need to fix your economy
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j so CIA are the one choosing the leaders? Lol, those who are voting(for those with that right) are to blame,
From where are you? With that type of letters from your name,many don't even have the right to choose,

I think this polarisation is one of the main problems there. Every time there's a change in government you see a complete u turn on so many policies! This is problematic in the medium and long term.
It's not like you have centre right and centre left alternating one another but still sharing fundamental values, you often go from far right to far left or viceversa
You are right. And this is thanks to the left stubborn gangs who refuse to see their policies are terribly wrong.
There is no such thing as far left.
And far left and far right are not the same.
@@Based_Proletariat if you say there's no far left that means you're probably on the far left
Republiquetas Bananeras!
@@Based_Proletariat How do you know the far left and right aren't the same if there's no such thing as far left?
Each country is an individual case. Bolivia 🇧🇴 is a left wing country while Ecuador 🇪🇨 can swing both ways. Paraguay 🇵🇾 has been a one party state since 1947 with the brief break from 2008-2012 with Fernando Lugo. Guatemala 🇬🇹 has rigged elections and you can't trust the results. Complicated
I just wish that Latin America becomes more stable in the future. And that peace and prosperity will come. They’ve been through a lot.
Communism is like that dog that refuses to die until it bites everyone else and give them rabies
Cope
Capitalism is a like a vampire that refuses to die until it sucks everyone dry.
Fascism/Racism is like a zombie that refuses to expire.
That’s fascism communism is a dog that is trying to protect its owner but ends up hurting them socially there are some good parts to communism but non to fascism the far right is worse than the far left
@@Based_Proletariat fascism is the result of capitalism in decay. Buckle up!
As a brazilian I find it extremely funny how Venezuela always has this Speech for UNITY of the whole of South/Latin America based on their Bolivar view. But nobody in South America buys into that. I know we brazilians would never stand to anything Venezuela wishes to achieve. Like, they really think that they are a major player in South America geopolitics due to Simon Bolivar and all, but they have no morale whatsoever, at least to us brazilians. I think Venezuela should start to acknowledge themselves as just another country in the region instead of a major player because they clearly are not.
It’d be more seductive as a proposal if the were actually doing good themselves😂😂
They’ve become center stage by virtue of sending millions of refugees and immigrants to neighboring countries
Get rid of the socialist Lula or you all fade into poverty.
Well, I mean, they still used to be the richest latinamerican country percapita before Chavez took control of the country but their governments still act as if they still lived in those times.

sanctions
You're spot on when you mention that more than a traditional right-left divide there is a populist-non-populist divide. I for one argue that Correa is more of a fascist than a communist, his speech might sound leftist but actions speak louder than words. He is, at any rate, a full-blown populist. What makes matters even crazier is that right-leaning parties can also be populist! There is currently a pretty solid majority in the Ecuadorean Congress, made up of Correa's "leftists" and the right-leaning PSC, that gathers around former Guayaquil mayor Nebot. Sounds insane until you realize that both of their speeches are just for show, both are in fact populist.
Pretty good analysis. As a Brazilian i can talk about the reality of my country, and I assure you the red wave is as good as gone.
Back in 2009, before the economic crisis, Lula's government was so popular it used to be called "steamroller politics" - pretty much anything the government wanted to approve would get approved. People massively BELIEVED in the government and criticizing any of Lula's wrongdoings in public might get you in a heated discussion, or even a fight.
That changed radically after the 2015 economic disaster. People felt horribly deceived and simply don't believe anymore. Lula won the elections by roughly a ridiculous 1% margin, and most of his voters were NOT his followers, but people who simply wanted to get rid of Bolsonaro.
So, long story short, in 2009 when Lula said anything, the vast majority of people would applaud. Nowadays when he opens his mouth, the majority view it with distrust. Lula's mindless followers are having a tough time convincing anyone of his good intentions and any favorable publication is massively criticized in social media.
The political reality is vastly different now, it just doesn't work anymore.
I usually see Visual Politik to see the Right wing version of things. The absence of the mention of the US sanctions on Venezuela is obvious. I could agree that the left wing populist governments became too corrupt and even totalitarian, but the Oderbrecht corruption scandal showed us that both Right and Left wing politicians fell for corruption.
🤣🤣🤣
It wasn't the price controls, lack of investments, socialist corruption, deficit spending, nationalization of successful businesses, or scaring away foreign investments by stealing assets?
It was only the sanctions causing Venezuela's problems.
Yeah, they've been bashing leftist governments for years. It's pretty obvious
Odebrecht scandal happened b/c of collusion with Lula's left wing govt . And the Venezuelan sanctions were mentioned , what video did you watch ? Those sanctions being well justified btw due to Venezuela's leaders being the world's biggest narco traffickers . Not that those sanctions affected Venezuela much , given the fact that years before the sanctions (even during peak oil prices) it was already in a state of hyperinflation & famine
Ist a right wing version of this too.
Venezuela didn't need any help from the sanctions to ruin its own economy. Corruption, stupid radicalism and incompetence did the trick.
The original Pink Tide began in 1999 and went into decline in the 2010s.
Decline.. meanwhile Mexico has left politician won again.

Latim América does not understand why it remains poor: Corruption, Bad Education and Government overspending.
I will awareness of ideology. There i see people not being connected to world thus they don't know about other ideology so they either vote far left or far right. Socialist dominate there because of welfare and social justice. Socialist dominated like this in world too but free information has removed that
Actually is because USA planning coup after coup here.
yes I'm sure latin americans are unaware that their governments are corrupt and their education systems are poor. thank you random youtube commenter for letting them know!
You can't lump all of Latin America as poor. Because some of them are wealthy countries
Being from Ecuador myself, that really is a simplistic view you have there. I do not know of one person who has a mortgage. I know of no one who has had to pay for medical care besides a small monthly maintenance fee. The last mass shooting was in the 90’s I think. We do not have a homeless problem because every citizen is offered free land and a house just because it’s your birthright. The banks pay us to borrow our money @8-10%apy. And where is this rich country you’re from? I’d love to give it a try if it has all these attributes.
The people of Latin America are more sympathetic to the left or to the communists, while the elites of the countries and the USA prefer right-wing governments in the region, which is why the USA finance all the dictatorships in the subcontinent.
Not true in Brasil
Completely true. The US funds governments that are pro-USA and will do everything they can to eliminate those who don’t follow their rules. This is why all these countries have to show open support for US foreign policy and even the clown show that is the proxy war in Ukraine.
The wave of left-wing movements in the latter half of the 20th century was a reaction to centuries of caudillo-ism, decades of external economic corruption, and 20 years of Cold War proxy struggles. We've had left-wing insurgencies since the 50s and left-wing governments since the 80s. In other words, the current generations were raised on left-wing politics. If history shows us anything, it is that action is met with a reaction and the pendulum swings back and forth. There's nothing profound going on. By nature, humans are fickle. They are always looking for the "new and improved" brand. That is the wave that is upon us now.
There were not many left wing governments in South or Central America in the 1980s. Chile and Paraguay were still military dictatorships along with Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Haiti, etc.
I like your position
Its the contrary case with Mexico, decades of right wing semi-dictatorship brought the current presidency, wich is kind of worrysome since that would mean leftist dictatorship is next.

Comunism made me leave Latin America
Weird username but okay
"Communism" 🤡
This is such an elementary analysis on Latin American politics my god. First of all, you don't mention the role the United States had, and continues to have, in meddling in democratic elections, supporting and conducting coups of democratically elected officials, propping up right-wing brutal dictators, and their overall role in making Latin America right-wing for several decades in the latter half of the twentieth century. Chile was hailed as the darling of Latin America because they adopted the neoliberal model that was the closest thing to United States capitalism at the time, but look at how that ended. It may have taken a few decades, but the Chilean people have seen that this doesn't work, leading to the protests that have been going on for years. A lot of the left-wing movements in Latin America, especially the recent ones, are a direct response to this meddling done by the bully up north. And after years of living a certain way, and realizing that it is doing absolutely nothing to benefit the people, then of course people will vote in the opposite direction. Mexico was a country that had the same party rule over it for nearly 70 years. Then came the right wing party. And finally, with the election of AMLO, came a leftist president and he's had the highest approval rating of any Mexican president since decades back.
"Visual politics" is a channel that endlessly drones on about how awesome and unstoppable market based economics is and how everything left of trumpism is bad. They love America, and in their eyes, the USA can do and does not do any wrong. For those not aware of Latin American politics, this channel serves to spread misinformation and bias.
And Mexico is in the worst state it’s been in for decades😂
In the end people simply want proper public services and prosperity
Yeah, but they believe the guy that blames everything on any chosen imaginary enemy. Most common is "it's the Americans fault" when economy collapses.
if they would want that they would vote for proper social democracy western style and not communist guerilla fighters or what is it
@@MrCharvik Under the Monroe Doctrine any politician from the Americas who was left, hard left or even Centre left was treated as a communist. Even those who advocated for fair distribution of land or mineral wealth including trade unionists were targeted by US supported governments. Look at Chile's Allende who was a democratically elected centre left socialist killed in a US supported coup.
It is not so much a polarization from within. It is the lack of protection against foreign interests in local affairs. Most right and far-right movements can be traced from outside, as well as from the financial sector. It is an índuced (well paid) polarization.
A lot of people in this comment section only believe that they know what socialism is. a lot of people aren’t that smart.
This is really bad analysis. Rather than looking at facts and dynamics and drawing conclusions from them, it really seems like you started with a conclusion (“the center left is rising in Latin America”) and grabbed details to support it. In so doing, as others have mentioned, you ignored U.S. interference in the region, barely mentioned recent events in Bolivia (where the Christian quasi-fascist right overthrew the left in a coup, and then the left was able to take power back) or Peru, and ignore the actual relationships (which are complex and nuanced) between Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela vs Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, etc. Finally, the trajectory of Honduras (center left government, US backed right wing coup, then restoration of democracy, then election of more radical left government) goes totally unmentioned bc it doesn’t fit the conclusion you’re trying to draw. Very misleading and sloppy
Blaming the USA for the bad things that happen here in Latin America it's what does not allow us to grow.
Its almost like no-one learned any lessons from the cold war?
To the editor: you might want to color-correct the host's video. Tone down the saturation and color contrast; not only is it visually jarring, but it's making the host's teeth look a sickly yellow.
I agree almost with all your very interesting video. However there is more to analyse. Like the previous left wave were bit less educated than the new one todays day. With exceptions like Rafael Correa in Ecuador. Also most have already learned from their mistakes from the past and one of them is not to be radical left. As an Ecuadorian I can say Rafael Correa still very strong figure politically talking and he could easily win another election in Ecuador if he would decide to run again, since he did elevate the living of Ecuadorians to a higher level and almost everyone still loves him and if they do not love him they at least respect him a lot. This new wave is more prudent and more prepare, plus there is no influence of Chavez as it was before, because his personality was very strong together with his $$. Todays day, the reborn of the "not radical" left in Latinamerica was reborn by itself from the actual people and not from ana influence from Venezuela as beofre. So, in other words and logically talking it would imply is stronger and more intelligent since it was born from each heart of each individual without any influences.
Geraldo Alckmin from the center-right? I don't think so. He's from the center-left, he spent most of his life in center-left party and joined the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) to be Lula's vice president.
se geraldo alckmin não é de direita para você, fico até com medo de saber o que é direita pra vc KKKKKKKKKKKKK
You're correct social democracy is gaining prominence in south america. With emergence of internet people will easily read about history of ussr and failure of socialism which will lead them to vote either centre right or centre left

@@ShubhamMishrabro
It's quite literally socialism, hence "social".
Hard to believe you could do 15 minutes about South American politics and not mention US influence, which is huge. The US routinely hugely sways the outcomes of all political actions. It supports right wing governments and incursions heavily and subverts left wing governments even more heavily. For example, mentioning how the Venezuelan left wing government's policies performed without mentioning the severe crippling sanctions that the US placed on Venezuela is an extraordinary omission. The hand of the US is heavy and it is everywhere in South America supporting what is in US multinational corporation interests and subverting what isn't. Although it would be a ten hour documentary just to delve in these iinterferences, which may be why it wasn't delved into, ignoring them just doesn't work.
Good comment, part of the Venezuela economic collapse and massive exile is due to the US sanctions on Venezuela’s oil
Visual Politik is avoiding talking about the US role, and it shows they are not telling the whole story
Bro you dont know anything about the collapse of the country stop thinking you do, just ask any Venezuelan that lived through it and you'll know the collapse happened before the sanctions because the price of crude dropped and Venezuela thwarted its own production.

Keep these videos coming! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻🥇🏆
Now I'm by no means an expert on Latin American politics, but it seems to me that it has been mostly far left and far right parties that have been in charge in most of the Latin American countries, and politics based on far left or far right ideologies simply don't work (or not in the long run anyway). And neither do economics; going from (semi-)communism to (near) full on free market capitalism with next to no governmental intervention rather causes than solves problems.
I'd say, and this also applies to politics in for example European countries, you need a lot more of a pragmatic approach on solving issues. Some problems require more of a central left approach, some require more of a central right approach. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but trying to find that middle ground and go for a solution that might not be perfect, but at least it more or less works decently for everybody, tends to lead to much more stability.
No system work if you send the CIA to overthrow the government.
Very good.
Or just dont change economic and political models so often.

We can talk about what is fair and what is right but at the end of the day nations will do what's in their best interest. YES they will try to explain it in a manner that makes it sound more reasonable but at the end of the day they engage in diplomatic or political policies based primarily on considerations of given circumstances and factors, rather than strictly binding itself to explicit ideological notions or moral and ethical premises.

I have rarely ever commented on a RUclips video, but my academic expertise is in Latin America so I thought I would. This is one of the sloppiest videos on the political history of the region during the 21st century that I have seen. There are not just nuances missing from this, but very obvious, gaping holes like the missing role the U.S. has played in all of this. I can go into those, but one is so obvious. Whoever wrote this episode describes the leftist wave of the early 2000s as a red wave and this newer more moderate left leaning wave as a "pink wave." The first wave in the early 2000s is called the "pink tide" not the red wave as you describe because it was already in some cases not as socialistic. Not everyone who came to power back then was a socialist and categorizing it as a "red wave" and the present wave as the "pink wave" (as if they just came up with the term) so clearly shows this channel has no real interest in Latin American politics or covering them, or just thinks its viewership is stupid enough that they can get away with this.
Yes, as a Brazilian I thought exactly the same
If Democracy in South America its just a different name for the same ongoing control of the Workers by the Dominant Class, Status Quo doesnt change. People/Workers just want to work and be able to live, not survive.
Pink tide that was.
At least for Brazil this video s completely wrong, Lula is much more radical now than any of his previous governments by a long shot.

@@ernestkhalimov1007
I don't think you understand me. You can't just say that the Congress goes against the will of the people. After all, it was elected by the people. You can't just go out on the streets and demand something different from what is in the Constitution. That is a grave violation of democracy. Because the president is under immunity, no court can take action against him, this is why in a democracy a parliament has the constitutional power to bring impeachment proceedings against a president. Parliament has made use of this democratic right. Castillo, on the other hand, has tried to prevent this and has, in principle, declared a coup d'état.
Above all, you have to also take into account how these uprisings actually take place. A very close relative of mine was in Peru when this happened, in a locality near Cusco, the name of which I will not mention so that no inferences can be made about individuals. In this place, people who did not agree with the roadblocks were subjected to threats. If one asked the demonstrators what their goals were, many could not even read what was written on their banners. If one wanted to buy food, it was only possible if one made a private arrangement with a shopkeeper and made sure that no one found out that one was going to meet him. Residents were asked to give money for the demonstrators and no one dared not to do so for fear of revenge. The tourists left the place and eventually left Cusco as well. Tourism came to a standstill and food spoiled on transports because the roads were blocked. The protesters took the population hostage and caused them great harm because they cannot accept democratic processes.
I wish so much that Peru, this fantastic country with creative and loving people, can finally come to rest from the troubles and recover and develop economically. This requires a strong centre, because otherwise the right and the left will tear the country apart into two opposing groups. I wish that Perunians would realise that extreme positions do not bring anyone forward and that blaming each other will not lead to a prosperous country. What is needed is consensus, federalism and an expansion of democracy, as well as a fight against poverty, a promotion of education, a development of industry and, above all, an increase in the efficiency and customer orientation of the authorities.
@@einarnielsenntbch Sir I live in Peru and it's not because I don't understand but it's because you refuse to understand that its perfectly legal within Peruvian law to dissolve a worthless congress as evidenced by President Vizcarra dissolving the worthless congress prior to Castillo doing so.
A bit Eurocentric a video if you ask me
Nahh SA is indeed a hellhole only losing to the african continent
Here in Brazil, Lula has not become more moderated. Quite the contrary, his speeches are full of rage and promises of vengeance. Fortunately, it appears that he does not hold the main political cards and is soon to be outsted.
Lula was never a true socialist, he is between a German styled social-democrat and a French socialist. Most of all he is pragmatic man, a negotiator who knows how to compromise.
And steal!
⚡️⚡️FEDERATION JUNTOS UN NUEVO GENERATION
JUNTOS UN POTENCIA GLOBAL⚡️⚡️
Comrade Lula will press the communism button by the end of the year 🇧🇷💪💪💪
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
M. Thatcher.
Um No nice try though who taught you that CIA propaganda
The problem with capitalism is that you eventually run out of people to exploit.
Yep both socialism and capitalism has pros and cons
@@tauceti8060 Yeah and by looking at the world today pretty much everyone is a capitalist except a few exceptions and some "socialist" countries that are capitalists in disguise.
Hi
You talk too fast
This is posed as some sort of contradiction when in fact, democracy is a form of socialism. Pinochet was right, the only mistake was giving it away.
Communism
Absolutely well put on , it's not the same left that people think have come back ...
🤔
Saying that Venezuela is socialist is definitely sealing a tremendous ignorance of politics.
Emulating European countries is probably not a good idea. Most have either stagnant or declining economies. Some have already failed and some are expected to collapse soon. The only ones that will survive in the near term are the oil and resource rich countries which could be run by pandas and still be OK.
It doesn't work that way, Europe's global GDP is huge, around 25% of the world economy. If we look at Africa which is the most resource rich continent in the world it's only 2.8% of global GDP and it's not really growing that well. Resources doesn't mean a thing if you cannot refine or have the capital or know-how to manufacture finished products.
@@zjeee Just means they have a long way to fall. But given the poor state of their economies failure is the direction they are heading. Your "too big to fail" comment is laughable given that some have already failed.
Ever thought of polishing or brushing your yellow teeth ? 🤭
Bro Its Ultra disrespectful. He have done it but Its Natural or too much coffee.
@@xbane5109 I've met Ethiopians who unlike most humans (who comprise of 70% water) consist of 80% Buna (Ethiopian Coffee, the origin of coffee) but none of them had any such yellow teeth ever.
@@abc_cba Due to poor British dentistry.
the teeth are not dirty but are stained most likely from tea and coffee he needs to bleach them.
I still see the South America left red. 😢
By assuming that the left in Latin America is not extremist anymore or that the left in Latin America is more democratic, you're showing with this video your huge lack of knowledge about the region.
They always had a huge lack of knowledge about the region, this channel is only promoting their own biases.
Some has never been extremist, such as Brazil. Lula is a socdem.
@@kowa8846, exactly! 👏👏👏👏
Mmm Vzla is still on the red unfortunatelly
And in recovery currently after Maduro cucked Biden to buy his oil.
Great video, its relieving that the left is not too radical now,.. that message however did not seep through to the bolsonaro voters for example who thought Lula would empty the coffers again.. well lets see but it seems promising.. mabye some freemarket oppertunity will emerge in a responsible left framework.. hope so
What does Capitalist, Socialist and Communist economic systems have in common? They rely on urusy (interest) based banking as a whole. Replace those 3 economic systems with alternate economic systems that are free of interest banking, taxes and are also based on fair trade principles.

Not really. Interest is not usury necessarily. It make no sense to be able to use other people's money at no cost. We were close to that recently with rates close to zero and that's caused massive problems.
CHILE IT GOING TO HELL IN HANDBASKET
