Juan Peron's political stance seems respectable for a Latin American, but the main thing I do not get is his disdain for capitalism, which has carried societies and differentiated them from other societies on a basis where goods were worked for and produced on such a basis where there was little intervention from the government in terms of how these goods were valued/priced, produced, and how they are moved into the market and made marketable by the public.
Capitalism gives a concrete and actual value to products and goods that is then brought back into the market and gives value to the consumer's work and capital, instead of making him dependent upon a system that does not value his work or does not incentivize work(as is the current case with our socio-economic system).
It not only gives value to the work done and the consumer's capital that he has accumulated but it gives the product, the medium between both, a fixed and actual value that gives it some worth not just in local markets but on the global market, producing competition between countries over prices/valuation of the good and corporate production of the good.
I like how Peron tried to align with as many different states in his region and how he tries to keep on good terms with neighboring states, but no one could be thrilled with Peron's anti-Americanism which was uncalled for to say the least as America represents the peak of civilizational development in every which way, and this manifests itself in its political traditions, its economy, and its society until after Nixon/Civil Rights era. Peron was nice to the Nazis though and for that I have a high amount of respect for him.
