So I’ll stick with the old definition of Thomas Paine: the Government is a necessary evil. But an evil in the end. Of course, that Government and power are not synonymous. The power that receives a Government is one that gives you the most powerful social group through a hegemonic culture. They are princes, Dukes, bishops, popes, megafinancieras managers, lobbies in addition, currently live in United States.

I would like to know your point of view about Latin American political news. What do you think of the advance of the left-wing governments? As you said, in the best cases, all Government is a necessary evil. The ideal is that the societies to achieve one day learn to live without the coercion of the State to protect themselves from the coercion of the wild hordes, the mafia or the civilized hordes, such as lobby groups who decide the fate of millions of people in the most absolute secrecy. Latin America has traditionally been the scene of a persistent colonialism and right governments. Not by chance the rebellions have been so frequent and the word liberation, not freedom, has been the more esteemed. The first refers to something specific; the second is to an abstract ideal. Almost all the dictatorships of its history have been military dictatorships of right, representatives of the interests of the upper classes from the exportadora oligarchy.

If what I say sounds anachronistic it is because reality was anachronistic. There were always two types of dictatorships in Latin America, in Africa and other continents. The best known, those that oppressed their people to serve the global centres of power; and the rarest, the dictatorships that oppressed at their peoples to resist that same power. United States never needed a formal dictatorship because it was the center of that power which is desparramaba by the world. We could say that a large number of Governments in Latin America now define themselves left.
