This week, something wonderful happened.

Javier Miele, a libertarian conservative with a colorful pass and a pension for video virality,

won a stunning election victory in Argentina, a country that has witnessed left-wing financial and economic mismanagement for decades.

We can all hope Miele's election serves as the beginning of a backlash to the so-called

pink wave. That pink wave isn't an iron wall as it was with Soviet-occupied Eastern Europe.

It is popularly elected leftist governments in South and Latin America that have increasingly

pursued not only economic redistributionism and nationalism of industry, but outright tyranny

and anti-Americanism.

For all the American press's talk of creeping authoritarianism across the globe,

when it comes to America's southern neighbors, the real threat is creeping socialism,

with its attendant record of poverty, human rights abuses, and threats to democracy.

One major player leading this charge is the Sal Apollo Forum, or Foto de Sao Paulo FSP. Imagine a group of right-wing parties who got together each year to plot international cooperation with each other.

That would be fodder for massive media coverage, accusations of

conspiracy. But that's precisely what the FSP is. The forum was created in response to the fall of the

Berlin Wall. It was an attempt to rebrand socialism and communism for the new age. Members of the

FSP include the current leaders of Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba,

Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and St. Lucia.

Participants must commit to willingness to renew leftist and socialist thought, to correct

mistaken conceptions, and to reaffirm its

emancipating character.

Countries with FSP leadership have been dominated by corruption, slowed economic growth,

and represent a pink tide that threatens America's interests in our own hemisphere.
