The fault lies not with them or with the millions of others who share their circumstances, but squarely at the feet of our illustrious leaders who put their grand theories into practice once arriving in high office. The result is before our eyes. Of course, it is the habit of cowards and tyrants alike to lay blame for their failures on innocents. Thus our elites can scarcely conceal their contempt for the ‘unwashed masses’ on whose ignorant condition they place responsibility for all the nation’s ills.
If it tries to enact an identical policy in copycat fashion but without an efficient and reasonably accountable and honest beaurocracy, it will inevitably flounder. If we brought some common sense back into play, we would soon realise that aping more mature nations will not work, because we are not comparing like with like. Yet this is something our ‘highly educated’ leaders have been unable to fathom. But the rot goes far deeper. As if this reality were not bad enough, once again, beaurocratic corruption raises its sinister head.
It blunts their intelligence, narrows their perspectives and wreaks havoc with their future prospects.
