RECENT ELECTIONS ACROSS across Latin America appear to have placed the hard right firmly back in power. While the landscape may appear to be dim for the left, other factors signal glimmers of hope.

How to Defeat Milei: The Left's Strategy in a Reactionary Period

Martín Mosquera — 2026-08-21T05:54:32Z

Globally, the left faces a strategic debate on how to respond to the current reactionary surge. The answer depends on how we characterise the period, what we understand by the extreme right, and what kind of political unity we deem necessary to confront it. In Argentina, the discussion is gaining prominence given the gradual decline of Milei's government. Before examining the Argentine case, however, it is worthwhile considering the global scale of the phenomenon.

The spectre of the far right is haunting Latin America

Eduardo Lucita — 2026-08-15T06:33:15Z

Far-right movements have come to power in numerous countries across the region. They are linked to Trumpism; resisting them requires the broadest possible coordination of these resistance movements at both local and regional levels.

The Malvinas and the National Question

Martín Mosquera — 2026-07-27T08:02:02Z

A banner at the World Cup reopened a debate that goes beyond the Malvinas/Falklands issue. Faced with an internationalism that underestimates imperial hierarchies and an anti-imperialism that erases the class struggle, the left needs to recover a democratic conception of nation, sovereignty, and internationalism.

The anti-capitalist left surge in Argentina and the letter that sparked a crucial debate

Eduardo Lucita, Israel Dutra — 2026-06-09T12:52:44Z

“Even defeating Milei in the 2027 presidential elections would be significant. It would concretely demonstrate that, whether through insurrection or the ballot box, the far right can be defeated. And if the anti-capitalist left plays a decisive role in these movements, it would serve as an example for the left internationally.”

Notes on the Political Situation in South America

Ana C. Carvalhaes, Israel Dutra — 2026-05-28T06:34:16Z

“In these notes, we address South America, where the complexity of societies, scandalous socioeconomic inequality, the presence of a so-called “middle” economy with its own influence in the region (Brazil), a tradition of struggle and organization on the left, and governments less subservient than the liberal right (such as those of Colombia, Brazil, and Uruguay), imperialist interventionism faces more obstacles and has to moderate its attacks. In light of important electoral processes and tests in the class struggle posed by far-right and right-wing governments, such as those in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador, it is worth considering the commonalities across national contexts in the region in the coming months.”
