What Is Your Political Orientation?

At least none of us identify as Peronists. That's the silver lining.

For the friends that are Anarchists...

Uhh, do you really know what modern Anarchists are about? Do you realize that they do not, repeat not, advocate anarchy? I mean, the LOLcats poster is cute and all, but it has no connection to the reality of modern Anarcho-syndicalism.

Yes, I do, I found the pic funny though since it's an extreme over simplification, I think an anarcho-syndicalist was actually the guy that posted it to a facebook page I like to be honest,
I love making fun of other socialists, we're easy targets.

So why do you live in the US then?

I have lived in Chile for extensive periods, but we own a home in California and my wife has a job that requires her to be here (and pays far more than any comparable job in Argentina or Chile). We also own an apartment in Palermo, because we have family on the Argentine side and we enjoy the city.

Exactly - you and your wife prefer Cali and BsAs/Palermo.

I enjoy Chile as well, and often spend several months a year there, but I do not have permanent residence there (nor in Buenos Aires). Santiago is a very underrated city, and has many attractions that Buenos Aires cannot remotely approach.

The Chileans I know who live in Santiago are there because of business, work etc. and try to get away as much as they can and so would I if I had to live there. Plus the smog (with regulations only permitting you to drive certain days of the week). Come on ... get real. It is a nice place for a few days of shopping or a weekend trip but it is not underrated at all. The city has no flair.

A city with no flair, but offers those ridicule shaped sky scrapers and it has to have the shape somewhere at closer to the top that angles in 70 degrees !

Especially but not exclusively in outdoor activities, Santiago has far more to offer than Buenos Aires.

It's the Teabaggers who are the genuine anarchists, and they're not a pretty sight.
