Why do South Americans hate capitalism and live socialism so much?
South Americans are not one monolithic tribe, but are a mix of American Indians, European settlers and Africans. On top of it the continent is huge and had a far longer history of a feudalist-like system. And yes - the history has been pretty bloody and backwards for a long time.
When you look at the 3 main groups of peoples making up the continent, then it should be clear that they are unlikely able to compete on an even level, so dogmas like communism can enter that void more readily. Venezuela was once Euro-dominated and prosperous and only voted in the commies after become majority Mestizo.
Argentina and Chile to a lesser extent can be explained partly by the size and low population density and history - left alone without social justice, then they could become better long-term. As for the other countries - they have frankly zero chance of ever becoming Western or Chinese/Japanese/North-Asian in prosperity due to the people making up those countries. You would require a decent dose of positive eugenics if not as much as in Africa.
