> Well, far-right thinking is on the rise as of late, so perhaps you're right.

Far-right does not mean libertarianism. To use the word in that way while knowing its authoritarian connotations is insincere.

> People outside the US are being deluded into thinking libertarianism will solve economic woes, among other harebrained solutions.

What is "delusional" and "harebrained" about libertarian policies?

> People keep bending over to the US, the right-wing of South America has mostly always done that, and what it means is that they think the American Way of doing politics brings prosperity and a good economy.

What constitutes "the right-wing of South America"? What do you mean by "the American Way"?

> The society is sick and degrading.

Can you be more specific?

I think all your further inquiry is valid but comes down to a political opinion and it might be that ours are opposite on the spectrum, so it might as well be a rhetoric questioning, and in any case such an in-depth conversation would be better served face-to-face or even by an essay. I might be tempted to write it but I think the arguments for my side are tired by 2018 and I'd much rather write about many other topics of interest, but thanks for the discussion, I really appreciate it.
