The idea I notionally opposed to mauberism was 'big man' culture, not ‘big brotherism’ (maun bo'ot-ism). Big man culture is highly individualistic, and necessarily dispenses with parties and organised collaboration. Of course, parties themselves can have big brothers and prominent individuals, but that's not quite the same thing. Second, I did not say that 'big brotherism is only used by Xanana, JRH and TMR'. But there can be no doubt that Xanana is the best example of a 'big man' who has placed himself above normal social accountability. It worries me to see that Taur may be going down the same track.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135732538927229312noreply@blogger.com
