15. Alberto Fujimori: A Cold War Retrospective

In this episode, the Left Unread United People’s Revolutionary Socialist Labor Alliance take the fight to the remnants of the United States’ Cold War operations in Latin America in the first of an ongoing series on the Cold War - or, really, the United States’ anticommunist crusade and mass murder campaign that followed it throughout the global south. For this episode, we look at the current Presidential Election in Peru, pitting socialist Pedro Castillo against far-right neoliberal Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, whose career we then walk through as one of the last vestiges of Operation Condor after the fall of the Soviet Union.
