This past week much chymping from Western Interlekctuals on Bukele decision regarding private business cartels in El Salvador. Silly ivory tower oxygen depravation is getting to their inflated brains -- if there is anything left.
Easy to find on Twatter or 'news' sites.
Makes one consider, how little will their is to allow Great men to operate (maybe Great women as well, consider Thatcher, etc. I am staunch feminist but esoteric misogynistic kind of course.) Important for leaders that want to get things done to have proper will from those around them.
Sad that these interlecktuals, I only misspell to make joke, I spell very well when I want to, are blind and cannot learn from mistakes. If it were up to Manhattan Institute fellows, El Salvador would still be crime-ridden but maybe a few extra bajillion dollars to NGOs that poast pretty picture on Instagram of donor cabal money.
Important to remember what Bukele says "we will not do what Western Nations say you must do, but rather what they did." When State Capacity is limited and low, it is important to move like caudillo or cowboy, rule of law is second to results, you must love the product (prosperity and good of the pueblo) and not the process (Western murkeet demokracy shibboleths).
All these interlecktuals would have railed against LKY in early Singapore.
I prescribe to theenk teenk interlecktuals a healthy dose of Strauss, Schmitt, and such. Not everything is legible and sometimes reality has unwritten parts, ugly parts, best shoved under carpet. Great men know the rules are suggestions and Schelling points for 'civil society'.
Discussion maybe, I would enjoy.
