Came across this a few weeks ago.

Really made me think.

The way I read it is:

"What matters are the fruits borne of the political model or system of governance, not its name"

In other words, measure by results not by ideology.

This is of course easier said than done, because most results take decades or even centuries to realise.

But still.. Something to be learned here by all of us. There are some things which work in some places, but not in others. People and cultures vary.

Liberatarian-like principles might work in New Hampshire for example, but they likely will not work in Senegal or Borneo.

Food for thought..

Also, some good rulers may need to use (at least for some time) a political system that is understandable to his people even though the system itself is shit. Meanwhile correcting the course over time.

Putin never canceled democracy, but has been in power for 25 years now.
