Latin American leftist movements

Latin American leftist movements advocate for social equality, economic justice, and reduced inequality, often emphasizing indigenous rights, social welfare, and national sovereignty. They emerged in response to historical issues like colonialism, inequality, and foreign influence, promoting policies such as land reform, expanded public services, and increased government involvement in the economy. Influenced by socialist, Marxist, and populist ideas, these movements seek to empower marginalized communities and challenge neoliberal policies. Their approaches vary across countries but generally focus on promoting social justice, reducing poverty, and asserting regional independence.
