I just read it. I think the author is consumed with the fantasy that the ideal alpha is a mafioso or gangster figure like someone out of the Godfather, Reservoir Dogs, or something else. Maybe in undeveloped countries and the hood, but let's get real, that's just a small fragment of man, and an undeveloped violent one at that where the average lifespan is typically 30 years old or younger. And it's confusing to me that he's in awe of how the girl is attracted to a top capo in Costa Rica - nothing unusual there.
Most of us live in civilized society, and it's really not useful to fantasize about being a capo because of the sheer nonreality and impracticality of it. If you don't like being bourgeoisie then fine, but adapt and overcome what you were born into rather than daydream about being born into either a poor family or an aristocratic family.
Goes back to that expression, "be happy with what you got, not what you want but don't got." Tough - very tough - words to live by, but very important nonethelss.
Just my two cents.
