Why did they fail to attain their potential?
they never had potential in the first place
>>17433253no access to both coasts of their respective continent
>>17433253USA sabotaged them.
>>17433280>>17433272latrino cope, america never interfered with the southern cone
>>17433253The problem is that we kept trying to emulate Europe, specially all their bad policies, so we could look more refined and civilized During the 20s and 30s we went hard on fascist policies and centralization of the state, literally copping Mussolini's Italy policies and work related legislationAfter that during the military regime we went hard on Keynesian policies and protectionism, what concentrate money on whoever the politician liked, made more expensive for the people to access technological innovations coming from the US, Japan and Europe, and shielded the national industry from competition, what lead to it's quality going downhillAfter that we decided to go hard on social-democracy and wellfare state lead by socialists, causing the economy to stagnate even further, the taxes to increase and more money going for useless state jobs, with the bureaucrats and judges turning into a pseudo-aristocratically obsessed with expanding their powers over the common folk and preserving they extremely high payments and benefits And their also the problem of over regulation making extremely difficult to do business and build wealth independently from the government

>>17433346Argentina and Brazil were stagnant for decades before any Angloid meddling lmao. And imagine having your markets opened to the largest one in the world as a seethe point for you tankies? lmao
>>17433356Yes. Free trade is unfair advanted to U.S. It is only to benefit of capitalist class.
>>17433345but you're considered brown savages by white people not refined or civilized.
>>17433359Are these capitalists in the room with us right now?
brazil : too many pardosargentina : too many italians
>>17433359>>17433375By capitalist i think he meant the Js
>>17433253I think both were (sometimes still are, even) making so much money from the trade of agricultural goods and raw resources that no government was willing or able to set up major domestic industry.So both remained largely dependent on the prize of various goods which are often volatile, which made them unstable.With the instability, and being a century behind on the whole economic development thing, these countries stay at a point of medium development, not too poor, but not rich either.Brazil is poorer on average because -- and I'm just guessing here -- unlike Argentina, most of their population is native. The descendants of the settlers, indigenous people, and slaves who had been brought over centuries ago.The migration to Brazil from Europe was smaller than the US or Argentina.Argentina is populated heavily from recent immigrants (last century or so) from Europe, who brought wealth with them. Wealth that the descendants of slaves in Brazil never had.

Brazil suffers a lot from a historically having slavery. Just like other countries that had history done in the past, it messes with your instuitions in the long term.
mestizos are too stupid and indios are retarded
>>17433404between 1870 and 1920 3.3 million Europeans immigrated to Brazil and settled in the southern region, my great-great-grandfather was one of them. This explains why the southern region is the most developed and with the best life, and less crime. The northeast of Brazil is the region where the descendants of slaves and indigenous people settled, and ironically it is the least developed, poorest region with the highest crime rate.
>>17433404Uruguay was once a Brazilian state and became independent in 1828, its population is more than 80% of European descent and it is the country with the best quality of life in South America. If the current south of Brazil had done the same thing, it would be one of the best or the best country in South America. Currently there are separatist movements that defend the separation of the south (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) to become an independent country.
>>17433658Slaves has no wealth, when they're freed from their masters, they create a massive class of poor people who impoverish the whole region.Perhaps this is also why the American South has some of the poorest parts of the whole country, too.
>>17433367And what does that have to do with what he posted?
>>17433253CIA's fault o algo
>/pol/tards explaining how it's impossible for a well-organized, well-funded cabal like the CIA to subvert Latin America while saying Jews are single-handedly responsible for the decline of the West
>>17433864Ah the CIA, an organization notorious for how well they can accomplish their goals and not the never ending clown show they really are. lol
>>17433864>paco, why is your culture based around murder and selling cocaine?>uh the cia did this
>>17433253>they never had potential in the first placeArgentine never had any potential? Are you on crack?
>>17433253Socialist populism
Chile has surpassed both of them, and has the highest HDI in South America. I wonder how they acheived that.
>>17433253They imported the wrong Europoors.
>>17434005Chile actually having competent center-left and center-right goverments that don't touch the economy and simply focus on governing. Even the mass chimpout of 2019 failed to change the status quo
>>17433253I would say genetics but Canada and Australia exist so there must’ve been an insane filtering going on by Americans. Andrew Carnegie talks about this.
>>17434005Pinochet being the only not mentally retarded military dictator in the continent helped them a lot.
>>17433984Curious how the cartels didn't exist prior to NAFTA nuking the Mexican economy in the 90s.Also, how did they get military grade equipment again?
>>17434437…They literally did?..
>>17434437Cartels existed since at least the 70s, where they served as enforcers of the PRI regime
>>17434437Corrupt elements in the Mexican Army probably supplies them.
