I am Peronist, needless to say.

While I dislike labels and distrust attempts to enclose the complex and conflicting reality into abstract sets of beliefs, I can't help but to agree with train's rebuttal to cynicism and inaction.

Surely calling yourself a Peronist is entirely meaningless outside of Argentina? (Well, I'd also argue that the label is pretty meaningless even within Argentina but that's a whole other discussion)

You are right, even in Argentina the label is pretty meaningless nowadays. As certain old-fashioned diehard Peronist said, Peronism is no longer a 'movement' and even less a coherent 'ideology' (if once it was). Right now 'Peronism' is only a disparate collection of "political franchises", personal vehicles for careerists of any kind. On the other hand, I dislike Peronists as a general rule (although many of them are fascinating types) and I don't claim to understand Peronism, because it's nearly impossible unless you are Argentinian. Someone told me that irony doesn't work in the internet Wink
