Onhalis's Vision of Democracy

Onhalis was a progressive reformer, and he even claimed it times to be a socialist. But really, he was a classical patrician liberal. He never shook the idea that the wealthier and better educated and more responsible citizens must run things for the protection of all those ignorant scruffy poor people. More than anything else, the theme Onhalis hammered on was that Mexico needed peace and reconciliation.
