socialism did wonders for Cuba. It wiped out the small middle class that they had. Same thing will happen in SA no more middle class. 99% poor as dirt and 1% super rich and in control

S. Americans are moving towards socialism because democracy by and in itself has failed them.

That doesn't make any sense.

1 - South America has long had a lot of socialism, but they aren't currently taking a very decisive move towards socialism.

2 - Socialism isn't something to put in place of democracy. It can happen with or without democracy, as can a fairly free market.

3 - To a large degree what has failed them is socialism.
