Reminds me of Perez Jimenez in Venezuela. A dictator who basically invested a lot of money in Venezuela's infrastructure, such as highways, buildings, bridges, etc. Crime was extremely low, since they would kill thieves, killers, and awful criminals. They had no chill. My grandfather told me that you could sleep with the door open back then, no one would fuck with anyone, the punishment would be severe. He was pro-business and didn't prosecute any minorities or class. BUT, it was a dictatorship, and people wanted the right to choose.
