What I am about to say is deeply controversial, but here goes: Latin nations, whether in Europe or the Americas, maybe more prone to authoritarianism (mostly of the tin-pot military variety), but no one quite does totalitarianism (at least of a right-wing variety) like Germanics. Not just Nazism, but also Apartheid and, yes, Jim Crow. Before I am pelted with stones: being told who you can marry, where you can live, what school you can attend and even which entrance of the bank or post office you can use all in the name of "preserving racial purity" strikes me as being pretty totalitarian. (Or else pretty fucked-up, at any rate).
