Almost everywhere that Spain has been remains a f*****d up "shit-hole of a country".
Being "run on neo-liberal lines" (or not) has little to do with Brazil's worst problems. No government or economic system can easily alter or undo what the Spaniards initiated.

You also didn't mention that the reason a lot of these countries in Central and South America are shit-holes is because of our own country's military adventurism and covert (or otherwise) destabilization efforts (which is almost certainly a factor in Brazil's current "constitutional" crisis) - something that Spain bears little responsibility for.
Sure, smart aleck.There were Hispanics who spoke "Spanish" and there were Hispanics who spoke Portugese, but they were all "Hispanics".
The Portugal at the time of the early conquests Portugal had only recently divided itself from the "Spain" but more importantly the Portugese were basically "Spanish" in faith, outlook and style of leadership (except for some differences in the way their governments granted or divided land). Some at the time, including some Spaniards, did not consider the Portugese to be anything but Spaniards, really. They had the same modus operandi.
And I would opine that part of the reason these "Spanish" countries have been so susceptible to "covert destabilization" efforts, is because of the corrupt character instilled by "Spanish culture" from centuries prior.
The extreme "macho" culture instilled by *Iberian* culture combined with the Roman Catholic mandate to breed like rabbits (no matter how little money was available for family life) certainly did not help their chances any.

You take a thread about a beautiful woman and this is where you go? WTF is up with that? To say nothing about how the facts seem to be nowhere in sight. Comparing modern Spain to the Iberians of old....come on

Who was comparing "modern Spain" to the "Iberians of old"?"Hispania" = "Iberian peninsula". The words (and many of the people there) are related in history. The region has been variously divided over the centuries but the people who live there there can all be considered "Hispanics" or Iberians".
Anyways, my post was in reference to the past, specifically during time of the Latin American conquest and the initial dividing up of the Americas amongst like-minded "Hispanics" (or "Iberians") from Spain and Portugal.
Nothing was said about "modern Spain". "Old" *Hispanics* HAVE certainly left behind a legacy in the Americas, though.
More knee-jerk PC bullcrap from you, of course. Stay away, OK?

Fuck off loser. I'm not PC, far from it, just calling you out for your usual bullshit. Crawl back in your hole.

I'm not sure that you know what you are. Sometimes you act extremely PC and at other times you can seem to be the exact opposite of PC. PC at times and non-PC at other times, as if you're willing to become WHATEVER it is that might make you look "cool" before the crowd at any given moment in time...Grow up, your pathetic sputtering will get you no where here.
None of your spitting is going to change the fact that, even in the 16th century (and even later), people from all of "Hispania" (or "Iberia" - same thing) were thought of as "Hispanics" ("from Hispania") by English speaking peoples.
