Why doesn't it make sense to you? For the reasons I gave in my post. 1 - South America has long had a lot of socialism, but they aren't currently taking a very decisive move towards socialism. They aren't? At least six new leaders are socialists. I would say that's pretty decisive. Even the socialist leaders (leaders of socialist, or social democratic parties) are in a number of cases allowing free market reforms to continue. There are exceptions, there are cases where nationalization is happening, and the countries are moving more toward socialism, but the continent as a whole isn't making a decisive more in that direction. 3 - To a large degree what has failed them is socialism. No. Who has failed them are their rich leaders. And the way many of their rich leaders failed them was to put in place socialist policies.
