That article argues that Bregman “is not a leader of a revolutionary party whose aim is to seize power and expropriate the bourgeoisie; no, she is an honest, combative leader who defends just causes and who may be perceived as Trotskyist, but discursively and programmatically she is, at most, a left-wing Peronist.”
The Latin American Trotskyists (like most other leftists there) are ultra-nationalists, “sovreignists”, defined as ie “a political advocate who campaigns for a nation or region to maintain or regain full autonomy and self-determination. They generally seek to protect their country’s political, economic, and cultural independence from external governance, globalization, and supranational unions”. Which, in the context of Latin America, is ridiculous as the various states are obvious artificial entities descended from provinces of the old Spanish empire as adjusted by wars between them.
The Trotskyists there take up the same position on this point as the Maoists in this part of the world. Here Trotskyists are basically militant Guardian-readers defending “just causes” (rather than leftwing Faragists) but, even here, most Trotsky groups were ardent Brexiteers.
The Trotskyists in Latin America are just Guevara/Castroists /Maoists. Their nationalism is absurd. President Petro from Colombia said that Latin American nation-states are vanishing. The USA has created an economic and political structure that can not detached themselves from the USA capitalist class. Venezuela tried, and it failed, and the Bolivarian revolution has been completely wiped out in a few months. Most of the so-called “liberators” were criollos, except in Mexico and Haiti. Myriam is a Trotskyist Peronist. The Argentine Trotskyist supported the dictatorship of Fulgencio
Batista in Cuba

Workers do not know what they want. Millions of workers voted for a right-wing populist and against what they called communism, and now they are going to vote for a group of Trotskyists who call themselves communists. It’s like a clock pendulum, oscillating from one side to another side
Argentina is also known as Troskolandia.
The experiment known as Anarco Capitalism has completely failed
Let’s see the failure of Trotskyism, also known as Peronism/Trotskyism .
Medical doctors can cure diseases, but the reformists can not cure the diseases of capitalism
Here is an example of a war-mongering trot group in Argentina:
“From the beginning of the invasion, the Marxist International raised the slogan “arms for the Ukrainian people!”, because in war and revolution, it is more dangerous for the proletariat and revolutionaries to take a pacifist stance than a defensive military one…”

Of course they all supported the war of the Argentine state under General Galtieri against the British state over the falklands, even calling on the trade unions to turn their offices into recruitment centres.
Real enemies, then, in practice as well as theory, of the working class.
Montoneros was another violent leftist group that existed in Argentina. Radical left Peronists

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilo_Torres_Restrepo
They also allied with the Colombian guerrillas based on the so-called liberation theology, led by the ex catholic priest Camilo Torres Restrepo
All the way down from Mexico, Central America, to Argentina, Chile ( South America ), and the Caribbean islands, they are nationalists/patriotic movements and groups disguised as socialists, mixed with different tendencies, including catholicism (so-called Christian socialism )
Those groups and movements were based on the concept of the leaders, leadership, and peasants’ movement. petite bourgeoisie production, and never obtained massive support from the peasants, similar to the situation of the Russian Populists
When the leader died, the movement was dissolved, or an internal fight created splits, and new groups were formed ( typical Leninist tactics ). In the end, most of the leaders became part of the capitalist machinery of government
Since the very beginning, the Socialist Party said that the so-called liberal government of Argentina was going to be a failure.
We must also say that the experiment has shown the failure of the current system known as Anarco capitalism. The ‘Motosierra” did not work, and capitalism has done what it has always done, to produce more profits for the capitalist class, and produce more poverty for the working class; that logic never fails
The article clearly indicates that Milei must use the same economic measures used by the Peronists, which are total state intervention and regulation. The class state has always participated in the economy; there is no such thing as a stateless capitalist society.
