I always explain Peronism as an identity-disguised-as-ideology, almost an ethnicity. The key idea is thet some perfect social harmony was reached in 1945-1955, where the True People™️ knew their place and had their leader, and every Peronist has something to fantasize about that period (a personal anecdote from a grampa who was gifted a toy by the regime, or a cherrypicked utopian policy that was unsustainable in the long term). Eversince Peronism has been sustained by nostalgia and the desire to restore that lost paradise by suppressing Those Who Took It From Us™️. Materially, this translates into a coalition of parasitical elites who feed off the status quo
