This thread is for discussion of the 2021 Peruvian Election. Looks like it's going to be a close one, and either one could win this. The Peruvian Left has gone far, however, and has united under a pretty based candidate. Let's watch

>>15813I left FB a long time ago so I don't have access to those.
The Padrinos Magicos episode about it gets mined a lot.
>>15811I think it is because the Incan roots have some sort of proud force among them, who knows.
They wrote the Planctus Indium Christianorum, which is basically a protoindependentist dissertation made by Incans asking to the catholic church from the Spaniards for their wrongdoing saying to the church it was anti-christian what spaniards were doing to them.
>>15816Yeah that's pretty weird now that I think about it, who

>>15816A department (province)
Most places that doesn't sound spanish enough have a translation in Quechua, plus there is "the freedom" and "Saint Martn" (in honor to a black monk who did miracles in the colony).
Some examples of the quechua ones:
>AyacuchoLand of the dead
>ApurimacLaughing lord (mister)
>ArequipaHere we stay/loud trumpet
I don't know quechua myself so I can't explain more.

>>15831Peruvanons can probably explain them better, but I read some interesting descriptions here:
>Incidentally, [Keiko] Fujimori openly defines herself as right-wing. Like her father, Alberto, Keiko represents a brand of right-wing populism — fujimorismo is probably the first major political force in Peru to use a populist discourse, confronting the people as an undifferentiated whole against the political establishment.
>Economically, Fujimori is mercantilist, in the sense that she promotes private enterprise but not necessarily competitive markets. Basically, it’s a capitalist model based on companies gaining market shares through political contacts. In that same sense, Fujimori represents the kinds of business interests that prefer to remain in the shadows, leading some to describe fujimorismo as a mafia-like phenomenon.https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/06/pedro-castillo-peru-libre-keiko-fujimori-runoff-election-june-6-neoliberalismAlso this article points out he wiped out the national bourgeoisie, who were a product of Juan Velasco Alvarado's national development strategy. Velasco was a pro-Soviet and pro-Cuban military dictator in the late 60s / 70s, another total fluke situation, like "revolution from above" which came to power in a coup, and was also overthrown in a coup. Some of Castillo's supporters will have portraits of Velasco at his rallies.
>Alberto Fujimori oversaw one of the most pervasive and predatory neoliberal regimes in Latin America. Facing a deep economic crisis, skyrocketing inflation, a mounting terrorist offensive from the bloody and sectarian PCP-Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) guerrilla insurgency, widespread social discontent, and popular mobilization, Fujimori adopted a two-pronged strategy: an IMF-inspired “economic stabilization program” and a counterinsurgency campaign informed by the Cold War “national security doctrine.”
>In a now-familiar pattern that Naomi Klein has described as “disaster capitalism,” Fujimori announced a severe austerity program — known as “Fujishock” — a few days after taking office in early August 1990. The package eliminated price subsidies and social spending while drastically raising interest rates and taxes.
>A majority of Peruvians were thrown into absolute poverty, and only 8 percent of the adult population remained fully employed. Farmers in the tropical valleys on the eastern slopes of the Andes turned to growing coca as a way to survive.
>Fujimori also introduced new legislation that allowed employers to fire striking workers, eliminated job security, and curtailed collective bargaining. Land reform was overturned, paving the way for the establishment of massive new estates. A banking law deregulated interest rates and opened the financial sector to foreign investment. State-owned mining and oil companies, ports, railroads, airports, power plants, and public airlines were slated for privatization.
>The legislative onslaught was coupled with an authoritarian turn. In rural areas, military “death caravans” raped, tortured, and executed citizens; college professors and students disappeared from dormitories; peasant villagers were corralled into strategic hamlets; thousands of citizens endured daily police harassment and arbitrary detentions; journalists, lawyers, and relatives of alleged subversives were executed, arrested, or disappeared.https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/07/keiko-fujimori-fujimorismo-peru-kucynski-mendoza >>15832RUH ROH!

Last time Porky got first and later fell when the non-Lima vote was counted. So one can expect the same
>>15845I wish it was a 60% but I'm not sure. That's too much man.
>>15844Castillo got 60% of rural votes in the last poll I checked. (Now he get's from 60-almost 90% in provinces) So I won't make predictions.
