In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Diego Ruzzarin, a prominent (and controversial) political commentator in the Spanish-speaking world with nearly 1.4 million Subscribers, who primarily covers politics in Latin America as well as Marxist theory. In this episode, we talk about the various governments in Latin America, from Argentina under Javier Milei, Claudia Sheinbaum/AMLO in Mexico, Lula in Brazil, Gabriel Boric in Chile, and Gustavo Pedro Colombia, and Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. We also debate the concept of "BRICS" and the differences between China and Russia.
