One of the problems, it seems to me, is that much of the British left still think in rather lazy clichés about Latin America, which tends to define where people stand on the political spectrum solely by how vocal they are in their anti-US rhetoric. This might have made sense a few decades ago, when many Latin American governments were little more than US-backed military puppets, but it is a patronising and one-sided view today.
That would extend to just about all the anti-globalization left. And come to think of it you might as well throw in the right too, there is some sloppy writing out there.
