Even if he was an colonialist piece of shit, he still was much better then Churchill and every other piece of shit european leader that bowed their heads to the nazis and americans, he was the last remain of self pride on the leadership of europe. He saw through the lies of the US, and he knew what would happen if Europe just let the yankees do what they wanted. And he was right, europeans have no leadership nor nations now, they are just an american puppet.
Its not just Latin america, hardcore westerners hate all latins, Portuguese, Spanish and italians included. i dont know where or when this despise against latins in general was born in the west, i think it is just anglo and franco supremacy bullshit (although france also gets ridicularized a lot, and so do british anglos and Australians. Its like an toxic rich kids club with the US at the top, where they bully the poor kids, but from time to time the boss rich kid also makes fun of his own “friends” because they speak funny, or because they are not as rich as him, its an toxic relationship), america broke Europe brain.
