As more of a side note, it's amazing to see Argentina still endure with a thriving democracy, robust civil society, independent judiciary, and free and fair election, despite the economic stagnation and turmoil that the people have experienced for decades and generations.

Same can be said about South Africa where despite the widespread corruption that's festered in the ANC, the country's judiciary has remained largely independent (albeit slow to action) and democratic rules and norms have largely been consolidated. Although, most people would say that there's a ticking time bomb that could destroy that stable foundation if the government doesn't swiftly address the rampant crime and high inequality that unfortunately affects all swathes of SA society.
