Caudillismo

Caudillismo is an economically ambivalent, authoritarian, and usually culturally right-wing ideology based around Latino (Spanish, Portuguese, or Latin American) nationalism, military power, and a reliance on a powerful military strongman known as a Caudillo. Caudillismo as an ideology started with the personality cults of leaders in the Latin American Wars of Independence, and became a defining feature of Latino authoritarianism. Some defining traits of Caudillos are Latino chauvinism, being the heads of powerful military dictatorships, and cults of personality. Caudillismo and Great Man Theory go hand-in-hand. In Latin America, the term "Caudillo" is used as both a detractor for authoritarian political opponents and a word of praise for great leaders; for example, Pinochet may be called a "Caudillo" for his inhumane practices while Castro may be called a "Caudillo" for his strength in building his nation's economy, and vice-versa.

Personality

Caudillismo is really self-righteous, and sees himself as a powerful historical figure. He sees himself as the successor to a long line of powerful dictators, and loves to crush those he disagrees with. He speaks Spanish and Portuguese. When nobody is looking, he worships at his shrine to personality cults like Augusto Pinochet, Francisco Franco, António de Oliveira Salazar, and Getúlio Vargas.
