Latin American socialism
Latin American socialism refers to political and economic movements in the region that aim to reduce inequality and increase government control over resources and industries, inspired by socialist ideals. These movements often focus on redistributing wealth, improving social services like healthcare and education, and challenging traditional capitalist structures. While some governments implement socialist policies to promote social justice, Latin American socialism varies widely—from moderate reforms to more radical approaches. It’s shaped by historical, cultural, and economic contexts unique to each country, impacting how socialism is adopted and practiced across the region.
