Please explain to us then how exactly you would infer a variable with an arbitrary name is actually a reference to the class instance in an interpreted language.

Did I stutter when I wrote about "an unfortunate early decision"? Who said it has to be "an arbitrary name"? Even so, you could add a bloody marker announcing an arbitrary name (which 99% would be self anyway) as so, as an instruction to the interpreter. If it fails, it fails, like countless other things that can fail during runtime in Python today.

"But now you are no longer talking about the way country X works, but the way you want country X to work - and that has nothing to do with country X." See how the argument quickly degenerates?
