here comes repubocrat up tell you how liberalism has and will ruin Latin America and how we're all so blinded by our ideology... And need to look tO the free mkt U.S. as a beacon of light and role model for success
Well, Uruguay elected a Marxist terrorist as their new president, so that's pretty darn liberal. Lots of free goodies for the population, taxes high enough to stagnate the country, virtually impossible to open anew business there due to regulations and "protections" for workers.
I think that Chavez is politically liberal, if you don't mind living under a wackadoodle dictator.
Cuba, though, has to be the most politically liberal country in Latin America. You can't get any further left than Cuba.
If you are talking about the American concept of "liberal" (which is very different of the Latin American concept), I would tell I live in one of the most "liberal" cities in the world, that is Fortaleza, in Brazil...
Our previous mayor was a bisexual feminist activist
I don't know if you would call it liberal, but Colombia is a very free country. You can basically do what you want.
I think there's a difference between liberal and anarchy. I don't know what you meant by "Do what you want" but if you're referring to an absence of law enforcement, I don't think that's what the OP referred to.
If that was so, most 'liberal' country in the world is Somalia.
Maybe the level of "Europeanness" has to do with a Latin American nation's liberality. A nation with a high number of people of European ancestry, like Argentina, may have a more liberal population than a nation where most of the people are of indigenous or Mestizo ancestry, like Bolivia. In my opinion, Argentina has more in common with southern Europe than it does with nations like Bolivia or Paraguay.

I would tend to say the opposite. Bolivia's and Ecuador's indigenous people are among the most radical elements in those societies. And Ecuador has had a left-leaning, somewhat Chavezian President for the last 6 years, just recently re-elected to another term.
