This article attempts to explain the so-called turn to the left of several Latin American political systems. There are several "lefts" involved based upon their ideological definitions and their different sociopolitical origins: the break-up lefts, which aim at a complete substitution of the capitalist regime; and the pragmatic lefts, which search for a social improvement in the existing systems.
