[Marxism] Peronism, Argentina, etc.

[David Walters <dave.walters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with those that balk at the misuse of the term "Fascist" to 
describe every right-wing military régime in Latin America. I sometimes 
like the academic term "Corporatist" to describe these sorts of 
bonapartist regimes, like Perons' which sweep inside it the miltiary, 
the unions -- while keeping the unions independent, but hamstrung -- to 
develop beyond the narrow nationalist ideology of the leaders in power. 
the Mexican PRI is the best example of this since the unions were so 
institutionalized as part of the PRI organically (and this case, not so 
independent).

An interesting analysis by the Chilean MIR back in the mid 1970s took 
up the issue of Fascism, which opposed the application of this term to 
the Pinochet remime. If anyone can find it, it would be highly 
educational to post it here.
