« This is entirely predictable, as an endless series of studies shows. A brutal tyrant crosses the line between the admirable friend and the "bandit" or the "scum" when he commits the crime of independence. A common mistake is not just robbing the poor - which is fine - but starting to take care of the affairs of the privileged: it always ends up eliciting hostility from business people. »

« Brazil is an instructive case. It has so many natural resources that it should be one of the richest countries on the planet, and it also enjoys significant industrial development. But thanks in large part to the coup d'état of 1964 and the much-praised "economic miracle" that followed (to say nothing of torture, assassinations and other means of "population control"), the current situation of many Brazilians is probably on an equal footing with ethiopia - and is much more serious, for example, than in Eastern Europe. »
