There is today, in Latin America, a democracy of tyrants, where people choose a man, and depending on their acceptance, this may or may not hold absolute power
This is SO true! here, people love to vote for tyrants, just to see if this tyrant is better than the last one. In Latin America people don't know what the word "freedom"means. No even at the start of the independence of the region. Freedom is seen as a thing that liberators give, rather than a right that you earn. In Latin America, the figure of the tyrant is seen as needed because, if we don't have one, who will give us our freedom?
In Latin America people don't want freedom, they just want kind tyrants.
You are right, rather than not wanting freedom, it is not even knowing what it means.
