"Back then", you said. But the same way of going is happening today, too. Venezuela. Maduro in fact turns it into a dictatorship. Democracy is dead, the leading opposition poltician was sacked by the police this morning. Columbia said it will not respect the new constitution, but will it go to war with Venezuela?
Dictatorships are not difficult to decypher. In the end they simply extend pragmatic opportunism into the realm of "enforcment by brutality".
