Anarchy in Haiti!
Haiti is a brutal, feudal monarchy. And, as is the case with all such feudal fiefdoms, when disaster strikes, the people, steeped for generations in squalor and learned-helplessness, seem utterly incapable of doing anything for themselves.
The ongoing international relief-effort has reached only a miniscule fraction of those in need, and local "government" officials are nowhere to be seen!
Anarchy has broken out nationwide. On the news, we see only two kinds of people, beggars and thugs!
For generations, Haiti has been ruled by a succession of bestial dictators who, like all despots, have retained power through savage brutality, enforced impoverishment, and religious mumbo-jumbo.
This is ever the case with feudal monarchies. Dictators all claim to be " enlightened," but they mean to rule, and political opponents are predictably isolated, terrorized, imprisoned, and eventually herded into gas-chambers.
They enforce their reign of terror through an army of what used to be called "dukes," "barons," and other assorted stooges who barbarously put down all murmuring and other hints of political opposition. Today, these venomous tasks are accomplished by bureaucrats and "secret police."
In such an asphyxiating political system, there is no social mobility, no private enterprise, no private property, no Middle Class, and no technological advancement. All production is usurped to preserve luxurious lifestyles of the "Governing Class." People have no rights, nor individual liberty, nor value, except as stoop-labor, in-effect slave labor. There is no benefit in innovation, since bettering onself is impossible anyway, unless you' re "connected."
This is precisely the corrupt, looter's culture that our brave ancestors came to this Hemisphere to escape, in rotting Europe and other places.
"Third-World" status is ever the fate of feudal monarchies. Until individual liberty and economic freedom, enforced through "The Sovereign, Armed Citizen," illuminates the land, conceited, paranoid, vain, closed-minded dictators will emasculate all progress and suffocate all social enlightenment, and technological advancement, forever!
"Ancient, effortless, ordered cycle on cycle set- Life so long untroubled that ye who inherit forget It was not made with the mountains; it is not one with the deep. Men, not gods, devised it, and men, not gods, must keep."
Kipling
