    Independence from the US is precisely what’s facilitating the right of people to choose their own destiny.

      Oh, so this will be a temporary authocracy to shed the US bonds, and then a revert to democracy and rule of law?

      Or is it just a country denying the people their right to choose being applauded again since liberal democracy is somehow US imperialism?

        It’s not an autocracy. It’s a democratically elected government that represents the interests of the people.

          You link to an article describing Mexico taking the authoritarian path and describes it as freeing itself from US subordination.

          If this is not what is happening, why bother with this post at all, or did you just want to push authoritarians good, liberals bad?

            Yeah, I think a propaganda article from the burgerland is laughable, as would anybody with even a couple of functioning brain cells to bang together. The post illustrates how western media propagandizes against sovereign countries. Thank you for providing an example of a gullible westerner whom this propaganda is aimed to brainwash.

              I don’t know. It sure does seem authoritarian of Mexico to have an election and then for the person elected to act the way they campaigned they would. Wasn’t their someone they forgot to ask? Not very freedom of them, you know?

                And don’t forget how the government engages in autocratic practices like having judges being elected instead of appointed.

            Its an article by neocon liar, Iraq War architect, and Axis of Evil author David Frum and you believe what he says? Also its in the Atlantic so its almost guaranteed to be liberal garbage.

            authoritarians good, liberals bad?

            “Authoritarian” is meaningless used this way. Its just hurled at AES and other nations attempting independence from US exploitation. And liberals are always bad. They support the global imperialist power structure - the greatest engine of destruction in out world. Liberals are literally destroying the planet and performing genocide as we speak

            Why post it? To show a blatant example of how US government and US capitalist propaganda works. Though any socialist worth their salt should know that The Atlantic as is shit as any other corporate media outlet.
