"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Lessons From Argentina's Oil Nationalism
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2012-04-28 02:00
"We have seen this movie a thousand times in Latin America and elsewhere. The Latin American version of populism is as old as the Mexican revolution and as recent as the Venezuelan tragedy. In fact, Argentina, once the most educated country in the region, built on the back of a middle class that was much stronger than that of the neighboring countries, became decadent precisely because of Peronista populism."
