The gov't of Mexico doesn't shoot its citizens as they leave. No, our ranchers shoot them as they arrive, or the INS tosses them back. Do you think people care who deprives them of the right to vote with their feet? The point is that they haven't got it. Perhaps. The Philippine gov't is fascist. That is, they allow ownership of property but the State can regulate it. Those people you see dying in the street are the result. Wrong. The people are dying in the street not because the State regulates property, but because the state sustains a pre-existing system of property distribution, wherein an appallingly inefficient 10% or less of the population controls 90% of the property. The 10% is immune from prosecution, making it possible for them to use extralegal means to protect themselves from economic, social, and political competition. That is not fascism, it is feudalism. Feudalism prevails throughout much of Latin America, often with American assistance, and is every bit as much an enemy of freedom and democracy as Communism.
