How was Benito Juarez a decent and fair man? He overthrew the euro-monarchist government. He deposed Santa Anna and didn’t like military dictatorship any better.
He tried hard to create a capitalist and constitutional republic with the USA as his beacon and goal. Not known to have committed evil acts against persons.
As for property, you mean church property, and property granted to it’s minions in monarchist land grants. Literally the church owned most of the nation either directly or through regal grants.
That isn’t ownership, it was pure power play seizure. And that is why it is fine for someone else to grab it back.
That’s decent stuff. The only argument against Juarez as a decent man is if one wants a monarchy or a Catholic state. Many people do, even here. But that is a different thing than pretending Juarez was a despot.
Yeah, and Lincoln didn't commit acts against persons either, he just provoked a bloody civil war. The Church by no means owned "most of Mexico." There had already been various reforms that weakened the Church in Mexico prior to Juarez's tenure. When Juarez came along, not only did he use the state to steal Church lands, he put in place despotic regulations against the Church in Mexican society, and against clergy.
You're right that he looked to the US though -- he thought that the Mexican government could generate enough cash from the sales of stolen Church property, and from taxes on people who were awarded Church land that they had previously been tenants on, to make the US comfortable enough to extend loans and other aid to Mexico. And never mind that the Catholic Church provided many, if not most, of the basic services in society.
If you're okay with all of the above, then you're basically saying that government redistribution of wealth, against the best interests of the people but "for the people's own good," is fine. I doubt you'd be in favor of our government arbitrarily forgiving student loans or taking over banks, which is exactly the type of actions that the Juarez administration took.
