      I can smell that dude from here,

      If you wanna know where does that nonsense come from, BadEmpanada has a fairly good video about it. Basically, we lost our US Civil War homolog.

      Back when Argentina had less than 1M people and literacy rate below 5%, the agro oligarchs were stupidly rich selling meat to Britain so the per capita GDP was immense, they kept on being stupidly rich, but turns out you gotta have industries to be decent country, but they never wanted to invest in industries because too lazy and stupid, so they kept the country a rural backwater buying everything from Europe , dictating what is teached in schools and couping anyone who slighted them.

      Eventually, argentine industrial capitalists wanted to take control of the country, aka Peronists, but they didn't like losing their absolute power so they threw a hissy fit, bombed a lot of civilians, and called them evil gomunists. Oh, and they periodically took massive IMF loans with the sole intention of funneling the money out.
