I sincerely hope the George Washington of Venezuela arises soon.
These people deserve better.
“I sincerely hope the George Washington of Venezuela arises soon.”
Historian and historical novelist James Michener discussed the different outcomes seen in former Spanish colonies and former British colonies.
Michener was an aficionado of Spain and all things Spanish, but he clearly saw that the corruption in the Spanish monarchy and colonial governments had sown seeds of corruption that bloom perennially even today.
When somebody says “corrupt regime” does your mind go to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, or to places like Columbia, Nicaragua, and the Philippines?
I don’t know how these former Spanish colonies can excise corruption from the very hearts of their cultures, but we have just seen that putting a murdering commie scumbag in charge is not the answer.
I don’t think they’re ready for a George Washington.
