Sounds alright. What's missing from the proposal is a collective defense treaty to protect the constituents from imperialist aggression, which is clearly the most urgently necessary part.

I don't think this is a good idea and would backfire unless each state gets to keep their monetary sovereignty, otherwise you kill the ability of it's members to do the bare minimum in it's economy and lock them into a superávit neoliberal mindset. And even then it would still not be good because it would be another capitalist regional union. The only real solution for Latin America is URSAL (Union of Socialist Republics of Latin America) which was a joke made by a sociologist that was then taken as truth by right wing nutjobs here in Brasil, but actually fucks real hard.

Final sentence kinda says it all tbh. American realism has infected the people seen as the mortal enemies of the American empire, so far in fact that their dream superstate usher in a golden age for Latin America involves modelling its foundational pillars on American and European institutions.
The EU and US courts are openly vehicles for fascism at home, and help project the very forces that just knocked down the doors to his neighbours in a display of fire and lead. Perhaps it's cope and he's secretly playing it up for the yts on Twitter but if China had said something like this you'd know we'd be pissed at the witnessing of yet another American cultural victory.
Make it a union instead and include Cuba and I can fuck with it. A union including Cuba will redden over time.
Honestly? I think it's a weird hill to die on. I like the sentiment but this is wishful thinking especially when Colombia is not even a proletarian democracy, and when Venezuela is not a popular topic in the country.
Still, I guess it's not that a major thing to talk about.
"..like in the European Union or in the federal USA" because both of those systems are working so well.
