Do you think some latin american compradors are like that because of the immense violence and suffering they have experienced?
Psychologically, wouldn't being at the brunt of constant violence induce sort of a nihilistic view in your mind towards politics, progress and a fear that "stepping out of line" would lead to getting whacked? I'm curious on what some comrades think.
I think that plays a part, but I also think it's because a lot of Latin American countries were founded as settler colonies and that mindset is still prevalent in some latinos
They were indeed settler colonies. I guess the better question is how much the "trauma" plays a part of it?
Well, if we see it from a materialist perspective, the compradors loyalty lies with the group that offers them the most profit and that group will always be the imperialists.
That's why “stepping out of line” with the imperialist will always be detrimental for them. This explains why they always devolve into the most reactionary elements of the capitalist class and have no problems aiding the US funded death squads in Latin America.
