I think people often forget that most countries in the Americas are settler-colonies because they don’t resemble the English/French settler-colonies. They approached race differently and have often been the victims of Western Imperialism so they occupy a strange middle ground between progress and reaction.
Part of it is that Chile was founded as a settler colony and some Chileans identify with that

Yup, that’s why those countries seem to go from fascism to socialism and back between elections
Mapuche people are very “present” in their resistance against the Chilean state. After all spanish is not an indigenous language of the americas.
