Estado Sentido

Boa noite a todos.

O impante democrata, prócere do social-proteccionismo e pai fundador do marasmo, Mário, urge hoje a comunidade a que se ponha, quanto antes, sob a égide de um governo, e cito a notícia do JNeg, nomeado e sem recurso a eleições.

Aguardo, expectante, que os provedores do bem comum, vegetarianos para quem uma alface vale mais que um feto, e tudo é um direito adquirido à nascença, venham agora zurzir Mário, o Vetusto, com a mesma plétora de epítetos e sequiosa gana com que mungiram MFL até à secura.

Delenda Carthago Est e bem hajam.

Pelo menos que a mim me interessam de sobremaneira. Já iniciei a leitura do livro de Kagan, mas aqui deixo mais uma parte do seu artigo, de certa forma relacionado com o que já escrevi aqui sobre o que o imperialismo dos direitos humanos e/ou, como aponta Kagan, da democracia:

International NGOs interfere in domestic politics; international organizations like the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe monitor and pass judgment on elections; international legal experts talk about modifying international law to include such novel concepts as "the responsibility to protect" or a "voluntary sovereignty waiver."

In theory, these innovations apply to everyone. In practice, they chiefly provide democratic nations the right to intervene in the affairs of non-democratic nations. Unfortunately for China, Russia, and other autocracies, this is one area where there is no great transatlantic divide. The United States, though traditionally jealous of its own sovereignty, has always been ready to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations. The nations of Europe, once the great proponents (in theory) of the Westphalian order of inviolable state sovereignty, have now reversed course and produced a system, as Robert Cooper has observed, of constant "mutual interference in each other's domestic affairs, right down to beer and sausages." This has become one of the great schisms in the international system dividing the democratic world and the autocracies. For three centuries, international law, with its strictures against interference in the internal affairs of nations, has tended to protect autocracies. Now the democratic world is in the process of removing that protection, while the autocrats rush to defend the principle of sovereign inviolability.
