What is Duterte's political stance?

I'm quite confused. Before he said that he identify himself as a socialist and considered himself tje first left president of the Philippines

But after reading upon him recently he seems to be strongly focused on cutting heavily down on beuraucracy, going as far as saying that he wants to "destroy government and rebuild it as a less powerful entity.
He is also focused on lowering the taxes of the middle class and below and his track record has been mostly positive to free markets and small enterprises

So where on the political compass is he really?

He's basically a centrist
Most of his leftist policies are neccessary for a country like Philippines like land reform, government assisted agriculture, massive tax spending on infrastructure, free state college tuition, push for 100% universal health insurance/care

But there are other more liberal(not the SJW term) like the things you mentioned and Freedom of Information which you can inquire government agencies to disclose any documents and accountancy to you

He's a bizzare mix of libertarianism and authoritarianism and I like it

It's an extreme form of centrism - Philippines needs a bit of authoritarianism in some areas due to its corruption.

Does that make him -

An extreme pragmatist?

>authoritarianism in some areas

Bad idea mate. I remember the last time a tiny bit authoritarianism happened here.

Duterte's political stance is simple. Kill your enemies and don't do stupid shit. He doesn't subscribe to anything that doesn't benefit his country and its people. One wise man is worth more than a comittee of fools.

There is clearly nationalism in there as well

Fuck off and suck a dick, Unifag

Duerte's stance has led to a decrease in crime. If you kill everyone, no one can commit a crime.

He's pretty much /ourguy/

you mean if you kill everyone related to crime there is no crime

being ruthless to the scum of society =/= killing everyone

He's a blend

He seems like a breed of his own to me.

He's a reset button.

Give a non-corrupt capitalistic democratic country time, and in 50 to 100 years, the rich will have successfully gain control of the media and the politicians, further enriching themselves and making the poor poorer.

It's inevitable because of

So a reset is needed. That's where a Duterte archetype comes in. It doesn't have to be him, but someone like him.

That's one of the flaws of capitalism. You need a reset every now and then.

the big number of the drug war casualty isn't really by his doing. there are lots of corrupt politician and police in the Philippines that when one of their hechman was caught by the authorities, the curropt don't think twice to kill them out of fear that those henchman will reveal their name.

and yeah, he a kind of guy that Sup Forums would appreciate.

Authoritarianism is good. Its been wanting to start again since the decadence of Estrada and Aquino's time in the presidency.

He's a place-marker while the globalists (including Chyna, Russia et al) hurry to draft the final plan
He's entertainment and tells you so
He stands for nothing, is almost dead
He reads the (((scripts))) gets paid and it's his chance to pay his medicals and toss something to his kids

Also turf wars and rape slay victims

>mfw nationwide smoking ban is already being implemented

And to think that the smoke ban in Davao is actually more strictly enforced than Singapore

>He reads the (((scripts))) gets paid and it's his chance to pay his medicals and toss something to his kids
Have you ever seen one of his speeches?
Every time he has a written speech he deviates from the script sooner or later with his own words
>flag
Oh okay

kinda saying it might be bad for the pres.
Since there's a lot of yellow fucks bitching about the littlest things for safety.

Oh you talking about bepols bower
Fuck, that created a generation of libcucks who now opposes ML cuz 'muh feels'
