"They’re clearly past the point of being able to vote their way out of whatever they’re in..."

This is a classic example of why failed coup leaders should be executed. Chavez led a coup and was only jailed for a few years and then freed. He came back and took over the country. Now, Chavez will never leave the Maximum Leader position alive.

Good advice, even better is that these 3rd world countries are run for the benefit of an oligarchy. They don’t have a history of liberty or even a clear conception of it. Property rights don’t exist in the English tradition. The Spanish/Catholic legacy isn’t a good one for forming republics.
