Why is there a tendency in Spanish-speaking countries towards

Poor people who are kept out of making money and kept out of politics, who are also unable to properly organise in protest and debate, are usually powerless against powerful men with armies at their disposal.

Lack of rule of law, poverty, power vacuums and generals with their own personal loyal army.

>implying spics need help ruining their countries

For centuries after independence, the military has been the only modern and cohese institution in Latin American countries.

Even after mass political parties developed based on a populist platform, like the Justicialist Party in Argentina and the Brazilian Labour Party, the elites, who lacked the capacity of mobilizing the people the same way, looked for the military as their own "party".

For most caudillos and dictators there's usually the long hand of anglo freedom and democracy behind.

Whek people rise up against them, they get slaughtered by the US Marines and CIA-financed Contras and Terrorist Death Squads.

Exactly, that's why caudillos and military dictators in Latin America are exclusively a Cold War phenomenom, they didn't exist at all during the XIXth century, before CIA was created.

Spics gonna spic.
I want to see Brazil fall into civil war soon.

Caudillos appeared naturally in the country when the state commited abuses against the population (taxes, forced levies and so on). People went to the wealthiest neighbours for protection. They soon became warlords but some of them became politicians.

Americans showing they're shit at history again.

The reason for Caudillos is simply Latin American politics. Which is dominated by great landowing colony-born Spanish or their Half-Spanish, Half-native colleagues & family members. Who are big into patronage politics. These were the liberators who fought for Latin American independence and took their patronage politics with them to state levels.

The Machoness is just Latin culture in addition to the military culture that the landowners adopted when they launched their revolutions.

There were more democracies in Cold War Latin America before 1960.

Not much different from China, Russia, Balkans, southern Europe, Turkey, arab countries, etc.
Even Germany, what do you think a "fuhrer" is?

>>1839536
This also.

Humans are inherently servile, and inherently support anyone they see as powerful in the hope of gaining social standing.

It's only a handful of Western European cultures that have evolved past this tendency in any meaningful way, and only those after centuries of social and political development.

Its the best way to maintain order amongst those populations.

Wrong. Actually, it's the opposite.
