I would add that the Argentinean working class was also faced with destruction
in a scale that had not been witnessed before anywhere else. Not that we are
THAT important on the world scenario, but a strong working class in an
industrialized Argentina during the late 70s would have given a completely
different turn to Latin American politics, not to talk on the possibility that,
faced with the limitations of the national bourgeois project, the class would
have begun its way up to socialism 25 years ago.
