Interesting Logic

I should've mentioned this earlier, but I didn't really think it was important. I changed my mind.

My Spanish class on Thursday morning was about the recent political history of Latin America, and the professor decided to break down the various elements of 19th Century Latin-American society into "conservative" and "liberal" so we could see how the power structure worked.

Based on the way he made the chart, his understanding of politics is as follows:

- All rich people are conservative, because they keep their money instead of giving it to others.
-All people with power are conservative, because they want to hold onto their power instead of moving toward democracy.
-All poor people are liberal, because they want more money.
-All lower-class people are liberal, because they want more power.
-The church hovers around the center. It is conservative when it gains power, and liberal when it uses its influence for social activism.
-The military is totally conservative.
-Laborers and university students are all liberal.

Did I mention this is a Spanish class? Shouldn't we be learning...SPANISH???
