Yeah, although going extreme left didn't work well for Venezuela. Everyone is a millionaire at least, unfortunately a million bolivars is worth $1 USD.

Here's the link to the AP article: https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-south-america-chile-constitutions-ffd6779b3f7f0c62579e6b0ec86affa6, it looks like it wasn't popular although I don't know what to believe. I assume the US dumped beaucoup monies to influence things.

I don't see a lot of good options for these countries. Do what we say, avoid any leftwing economics, get exploited, live in poverty, have shitty corrupt government - or, get sanctioned and embargo'd live in poverty, still probably have shitty corrupt government
