Ironically, while the American left argues for a Scandinavian socialist model, the Scandinavian countries have been moving away from their socialist model of the 1970s, for the last two decades. Today, countries like Denmark and Sweden score at the very top of economic freedom. This is telling because American politicians that label themselves as democratic socialists point to the Nordic countries as examples to follow. We are left to wonder if they are fundamentally ignorant or just deceitful.
Irónicamente, mientras la izquierda estadounidense aboga por un modelo socialista escandinavo, los países escandinavos se han ido alejando durante los últimos decenios del modelo socialista de los años setenta. Hoy en día, países como Dinamarca y Suecia están en la cima de la libertad económica. Esto es revelador, porque los políticos estadounidenses que se autodenominan socialistas democráticos ignorantemente señalan a los países nórdicos como ejemplos a seguir.
In the post Covid 19 world when scarcity of public funds can affect armies throughout the hemisphere mercenary squads could mushroom. And most probably neither the OAS or the UN will do anything worthwhile to reverse course. We might as well end like Africa where the main trade passages are taken by organized crime.
Con ese sistema de justicia vigente hoy en Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia y Nicaragua, que es en verdad sistema de persecución judicializado, se encarcela y exilia a los ciudadanos. En el socialismo del siglo XXI la violación de derechos humanos está documentada y escrita en leyes infames, actuados de tribunales denominados de justicia, fallos y sentencias de jueces y tribunales violadores de derechos humanos como la “presunción de inocencia”, el “debido proceso de ley”, la irretroactividad de la ley”, “juez imparcial” y mas.
A la democracia hay que defenderla no sólo con palabras. Como en la Europa de la OTAN, es perfectamente legítimo sacar a cañonazos a Gadafi de Libia o mantener a Kosovo libre de los serbios. Es cuestión de forjar el instrumento. Como sabemos, contrario a la intuición, el órgano determina las funciones.
El planteamiento de Borrell ¿encajará con sus habilidades, sumadas a las de Blinken? Tal vez, sea una pregunta pertinente por los venezolanos, estáticos ante la desesperanza. Fórmulas más expeditas, incluyendo, las tradicionales y no desconocidas, no dejan de tenerse presente, pues el hambre es germinadora de la prontitud, particularmente, en un pueblo que la sufre no solo en el estómago, también en el alma.
To confirm that in Peru crimes committed in the second round of presidential elections are covered-up and that those elections were neither free, nor fair, it is enough to read the resolutions and rulings issued by the National Jury of Elections (JNE in Spanish) rejecting the invalidity of votes cast at voting precincts where, as formally exposed and proven, there was “counterfeiting of signatures” of alleged voters. Using the argument that counterfeiting of signatures is not under their purview and asking that this matter be sent to a penal legal process, the maximum electoral authorities reject justice and accept the fraud for the final vote count.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims “fundamental for human rights to be protected by a legal system in order for men not to be compelled towards the supreme recourse of rebellion against tyranny and oppression”. Both the national and international system are based on the respect for human rights but 21st century’s dictatorships violate these with prisoners, victims of torture, persecution and exiles. Today, Nicaragua’s dictatorship repeats the crimes committed in Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia where oppressors hold power with total impunity. The peoples of the Americas, who are in a situation of defenselessness, are being forced towards the use of the supreme recourse of rebellion.
And, those of us that fought the Castro regime in the underground resistance and from exile, often felt like Kafka’s isolated protagonists facing bizarre and surrealistic predicaments, and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers.
Aquellos de nosotros que luchamos contra el régimen de Castro en la resistencia clandestina y desde el exilio, a menudo nos sentimos como los protagonistas aislados de Kafka, que se enfrentan a predicamentos extraños, surrealistas, y a poderes socio-burocráticos incomprensibles.
