Big surprise the WSJ opinion writer on the Americas is unaware of the perfect dictatorship

Before her work for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), she was an options strategist for Advest, Thomson McKinnon Securities then Merrill Lynch, where she worked for 10 years.

Wonder if that could have any bearing on her thoughts.

She is also editor of “The Americas,” a weekly column that appears every Monday and deals with politics, economics and business in Latin America and Canada while also serving as a member of the board of directors at Liberty Fund.

She is well known for her positions regarding classical liberalism, her frontal rejection of leftist governments in the Americas and for being in favor of the legalization of drug trafficking

She has been characterized by her strong position against progressive governments

lmao

By “classical liberalism” I suppose she means victorian imperialism.

Mexico only had one party hold the office of president from 1928 until 2000.

I wonder if the WSJ wrote hand-wringing articles about one-party rule at any point during those 72 years.

PRI rulling for 70 years = Democracy

Morena rulling for 6 years = Dictatorship

democracy is when you swap between two parties that are essentially identical every 4 years because the candidates are increasingly incompetent and senile

Mexico elects the same party in two elections: One party state, dictatorship, evil empire. USA: Elects a father then his son. Nearly elects a former president’s wife. Regularly elects the same party back to back: Freest land on Earth.
