The Iberians done a fairly shit job of cultivating industrious colonies in Central & Southern America when compared to their British & French counterparts in Northern America. The Iberians largely focused on extraction of mineral/resource wealth that was to shipped back to the Mother country and they even prohibited Spanish colonies from trading with each other.Worst countries in Latin America.
The most capitalist one, Chile is the best one.
Capitalism, Liberalism or Social Democracy are the only legit political ideologies that actually work.

When the Spaniards were booted out of the Americas [& the Philippines], the Americans took their place as the new extractors of wealth from these Banana republics, such as Nicaragua etc. Hence why Left-Wing politics is very popular over there.
It could be due to media influence from Commie Cuba and Venezuela as you suggested, but don't underestimate the numbers that still hold traditionalist/conservative views.I have also noticed how Spaniards (from Spain) are extremely leftist.. at least the young ones. Many of them live in other European countries and I have met a fair number of them and always noticed they were leftist/extremely liberal in their attitudes. This could perhaps be due to Latin American socio-political/media influence in Spain? I don't know, but contrary to my ideas before meeting them they were racist/conservatives like how people typically stereotype Southern Europeans.

Prior to the Spanish Civil War, nobody would've predicted a massive rebellion by the Far-Right/Monarchists against the Republic that would spark the Civil War.

One thing I've noticed is that Catholic [& Orthodox] Europeans are usually far more Nationalistic and more proud of their European identity than Protestants. Adolf Hitler himself was born a Catholic and never officially left the Catholic Church even though he was practically a Germanic Pagan.People who emigrate, especially from 2nd world/lower-tier 1st world countries like Southern and Eastern Europe tend to be more liberal than average I think. Perhaps they are not representative.
Also I have noticed that the Polaks who work office jobs or are doing uni education (not the farm/construction plebs) are also much more liberal than you'd expect, although not as much as those Spaniards I met.
I have seen some Suugo theories that the exodus of people from Eastern Europe, especially Poland helped with the PiS/Law and Justice party to take control as the libtards all left and the based stayed.![]()
