Which is why the only two remaining ones are Peronism and MORENA: both of them have a lot of ideological diversity but their backbone keeping them afloat is "free handouts for urban slum dwellers and rural subsistence peasants in exchange for their votes" - and for Peronism that's weakened a lot

One of the things I got from my engagement w/ethnography for my undergrad thesis was that communities often define themselves by *what they're against*. That's why I have deep concerns with a reliance on "community" as the building block of activism and policy--it inherently risks being reactionary.
