Bolivarianism

Bolivarianism is a political ideology inspired by Simón Bolívar, a leader who fought for Latin America's independence from colonial rule in the early 19th century. It emphasizes Latin American unity, sovereignty, and social justice. Advocates typically promote policies aimed at reducing inequality, expanding social programs, and resisting foreign influence. While rooted in Bolívar’s ideas of independence and liberation, modern Bolivarianism often combines nationalism with social reforms, guiding political movements in countries like Venezuela and Bolivia. Overall, it seeks to empower Latin American nations to achieve self-determination and social equity.
