As a citizen of South America, I am familiar with many problems that the region suffers now and has suffered for almost 70 years; poverty, poor educational quality, dependence on raw materials, economic mismanagement, corruption, dictatorial states, and for two decades, socialism.

However, despite the fact that the socialist scourge has left the countries of southern America very weak, I can still see a light at the end of the tunnel. My hope for the prosperity of the region is not only intact, but stronger than ever.

The vast majority of the population has understood that socialism is not the solution to problems, and that if you want to succeed, the State should not be in charge of lending you a bit of success, but rather you should create yours with hard work and effort.

The change in the mentality of the people has been radical and has appeared above all in the resplendent youth of the continent, in South America unlike Europe or North America, the youth is not socialist red but rather is a generation that has suffered all the unfortunate evils of this, and is a carrier of real change in the region.

Things that are seen in the developed countries of the West such as political correctness or the "invasion" of migration here are far from being seen. I have even heard mockery referring to how Europeans have weakly let their continent be snatched, and how they are prey to their own mistakes.

Something that is important to mention about the Latin American culture is humor, a country may be sinking but its citizens will not leave their humor aside, even to make fun of themselves.

Many of you, especially if you live in the United States, will realize that the "Latinos" I describe are not the same as the Latinos you know. Well, it is very common that this confusion occurs, but all the analysis I am doing is in the South American region, and the Latinos you are used to seeing are usually Central American or Caribbean, usually Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, or Dominicans. I do not have anything against these people, but it really is difficult for me to analyze their situation and their future since culturally the South American countries are not equal to the Central American and Caribbean ones. In spite of the kinship that is wanted to force between the countries of Spanish speech, the South of America has never been equal to the Center, neither in culture nor in history.

But without deviating from the subject and what I dedicate myself to writing this note, it is because the future of Europe and North America, which is so threatened by international components, is far from representing the old Western values ​​with which its greatness was built. A great impersonation has occurred in the old European culture, and a "multiculturalism" has been dictated with which it is intended not only to radically change European life, but also to trample all the pillars of Western society, from Greece to Rome, from Columbus to the Liberators and the Founding Fathers, and even to Liberty, which is an "invention" of the West, and in many Eastern countries that still have that word in their vocabulary, they do not really understand its meaning.

In Latin America, more precisely in South America, there is a clear contrast with Europe and the United States, both in the good and in the bad.

Socialism instead of growing is in a process of dissolution throughout the entire region, the pink tide expanded quickly and violently 20 years ago, in the same way that today is collapsing.

Islamic radicalism and the terrorist threat, which is a latent problem in Europe, is far from being the Latin American reality. All the American content, from north to south, with an area of ​​43 million km2, has approximately 4,320,000 Muslims, which is almost zero if we compare it with the small Europe, which with an area of ​​10.5 million km2 has a Muslim population of approximately 43,470,000 people.

In Latin America the numbers are much smaller, since the Muslim population does not even reach a million people (around 840,000), and the growth of Islam in the region is estimated at 13% by 2050, which is significantly less than growth of 63% that is foreseen for Europe, or the 179% that is foreseen for the United States and Canada.

In fact, in Latin America there are more people who are converting from Catholicism to Protestantism, than Islam, that is, the Protestant population is growing in the region more strongly than the Muslim.

I do not have a declared war against the Muslims, much less, nor the inhabitants of the East, but their culture is too different from the Western one to live under the same border and be all happy.

America, even if the progressives do not like it, is the daughter of Europe, and since its existence it has been culturally related to Western culture. Today more than ever, both Latin America and Eastern Europe, who had left the leading positions to the United States and Western Europe, see a change of positions.

These countries, which are usually poorer, now see the West fall to pieces without being able to intervene, and position themselves little by little and increasingly towards the right.

I think that irony has played an important role in the life of the West in the last century, to see how countries that were less developed or socialist are now on the side and try to rescue, even with imagination, what they recently struggled to destroy.
