Random South American news from the past few months:

- Argentina has enforced large-scale price controls, which means their inflation is already out of control and won't be fixed in the long run.
- One of the Brazilian Supreme Court judges said the country already has a de facto semipresidential system with the Supreme Court serving as a Moderating Power. For context, the Moderating Power was a fourth element to the Executive-Legislative-Judiciary trio held by the Emperor and said to have been de facto exerted by the military in republican times. This demonstrates Bolsonaro's weakness and makes me wonder if the Supreme Court judges think they're the Crown or a military junta.
- Leftist presidential victory in Chile.
- The Castillo government in Peru began a new land reform program but it doesn't seem to include land redistribution. President Gonzalo, head of the Shining Path under arrest since 1992, has died in prison. Irrelevant Brazilian Maoists (https://anovademocracia.com.br/) have called Castillo a fascist CIA puppet and noted how he's backed by Movadef, which they also hate for being revisionists and straying from the path of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Gonzalo Thought.
