Our authoritarian personality.
I have argued elsewhere that Latin American politicians, and leftist intellectuals in particular, have become “wound collectors” that always manage to blame the United States, or multinational corporations for all the ills that afflict the region. The authoritarian predisposition is to always blame problems on outsiders. Sadly, Latin culture is not, preeminently, a culture of personal freedoms, openness, tolerance, intellectual experimentation, and democracy.
