Why has socialism proven so popular in developing countries in africa and latin america?

The already poor countries look brightly on the idea of social conformity and taking care of each person. However the failures a socialism are seen when poor countries simply become poorer because there is decreased competition such as Venezuela.

Developing countries tend to be corrupt business owners (corporatism) and wealth concentration that only helps those already with too much power over the government (the same corrupt business owners mentioned before). Many believe that the best way to solve the problems would be to take those people's money and distribute to the poor, instead of fixing the political system and punishing those who are influencing the government in their favor.

Since many blame the rich for their own disgrace, they truly believe that taking money from the rich is morally correct. This belief is still common in most left wing parties of Latin America. This way of thinking has been spreading in North America as well.

i believe the answer is:

-   william jennings bryan is a democrat while mckinley was a republican

at that time, the segment of population that choose for democratic party were the voters with low economic background and vice versa

- william jennings has support of populists and wants to have inflation to farmers while mckinley has support of bankers and businessmen , doesn't want inflation

the fixed value of gold make the large business able to stack up their gold without   being worried that it would devaluated.

- william jennings supported the silver standard while mckinley supported the gold standard

according to jenning, using other metal beside gold could the poor people to have more purchasing power and them advance in the society.
