Socialism in South America

[marm]

hey everyone,
im doing some research for a speech on socialism in south america. im trying to convince my audience that this movement is a positive one but am having quite a bit of trouble getting started. does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to help me sway the minds of my audience towards the left and in my favour.
many thanks.

Well, if I were you I'd focus on waht these groups have actually done. Look at venezuela for instance.
Education systesms of a much higher standard
Illitreacuys wiped out
Working class people are now involved in poltiics
Industries are run democratically
Health is now available to even the poorest people
Poverties down
etc.
I wouldnt describe these coutnries as 'socialist' I would say that Venezueal for instance though was undergoing a revolutionary process and heading towards socialism.
