I don't have any insight into what to call it right now, but I thought for several decades after WWII it was still fascist? If anything being a banana republic might not be as as bad as what it used to be
Hell, how can you be a banana republic when you're not even a republic?
(Sorry for the pun, I'll see myself out.)
i knew it was a little while after WWII (college history was long, long ago!) but didn't realize it was ... 1975-1977!!
