So unproductive has conservatism been in producing a general conception of how a social order is maintained that its modern votaries, in trying to construct a theoretical foundation, invariably find themselves appealing almost exclusively to authors who regarded themselves as liberal. - F.A. Hayek

This might be a bitbut.
My father whas a journalist, he reporterd a loot during the War with the Colonies, unlike the rest of Europe Portugal still had a Colonial Empire, even if life in portugal during the Dictatorship whas the equivilant of living in the USSR,
but my father once reported on 50 new hospital beds being donnated to the newly-independent Guineia-Bissau's only hospital (post-dictatorship portugal) and he reported 1 week later on how all of the beds were stolen because goverment officials sold the beds in a auction to serve has regular beds for people to sleep in, this is just one of millions of examples that Africa is hopellesly corrupt and aney attempt's to change that will fail miserabuly.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us 'for our own good' will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C.S. Lewis

Don't you think that is a product of the conditions in that nation rather than some inherent dysfunction in the people? Because we are so used to not having beds to sleep in yet are monstrously uncorrupt..
