Peronism is relevant, but its an unhelpful term, as its meaning has mutated over the year with different "Peronist" leaders.
But fundamentally (if you look at the twenty tenets of Peronism) it is a populist leftwing ideology that aligns strongly with trade unions, social justice and economic nationalism. We can argue the toss as to whether this implies it is "socialist" or not, but it's certainly far from free market capitalism.
- kragen 3y agoyes, it is certainly about as far as you can get from free-market capitalism, but not in the same direction as socialism what you said was, 'Actually the Government has been socialist in Argentina from WW2 to 1970, and then from 1989 onwards', when in fact the numerous socialist parties in argentina have held the presidency or a majority in congress for a sum total of exactly zero days during that time clearly what you're referring to there is peronism, not socialism, and you're also unaware of the administrations of frondizi and the various military dictatorships before 01970
