She is actually “right-of-Lula”
It’s very dispiriting. I think Joseph Conrad’s greatest novel—although I admire all of them—is Nostromo. Among other things, it vividly portrays how a typical Latin American country oscillate from right-wing dictators to left-wing dictators. The people get these terrible enthusiasms, lurch first one way and then the other, and go from one disaster to the next.
Even if it doesn’t threaten us directly, it’s still disturbing to watch this pattern working out once again.
Conrad wrote Nostromo more than a hundred years ago, but it’s still going on, the same as ever.
