Can’t say I disagree with any of that. Western regime changes obviously haven’t worked out for the average human around the world. And while every government is worth criticism given the nature that all governments are legalized monopolies of coercion, Bukele is one of the last I would care to criticize given that he’s made El Salvador a freer and more open market than before. On its face this story would seem like El Salvador is moving towards making Bukele a monarch, but reality tells us they’re actually doubling down on freedom and rejecting past failure. Just like if a CEO makes a company record profits, you would like to see that CEO remain in his position rather than fire him after 4 years and hire someone who might tank the company.
