José Martí Was Never a Communist (Excerpt)

Understanding the U.S. House Speaker Stalemate.

Leer en Español

2023 has started with considerable fireworks in American politics. As of this writing, 6 attempts have been made on deciding who will hold the speakership of the U.S. House of Representatives. This is the third most important position in the nation’s political power arrangement, hierarchically speaking. Is this necessarily bad? Does it mean the Republican Party is in disarray? Is there historical precedents for this apparently awkward situation?

Modernity and systemic alterations have gotten us used to uniformity in these types of political courses. The U.S. presidential system, with its divided governmental design, seeks to separate power within the federal state’s composition. The American Framers purposely structured this model to remedy expected factious battles that, in the end, would require consensus. In other words, it is the bland uniformity that we have become accustomed to in previous congressional speakership elections, as well as national political conventions where state electors had certain autonomous powers to bypass party kingmakers that planned coronations instead of competitive contests that better express popular sovereignty.

Socialism Loses and Freedom Wins in Perú.

Leer en Español

The São Paulo Forum (SPF) dictatorial offensive, designed by communist Cuba to spread socialism throughout Latin America, suffered a big setback on Wednesday, December 7 in Perú. President Pedro Castillo attempted a coup by ordering the dissolution of Congress, initiating the installment of an “emergency” government, ordered a national curfew, and called for the revamping of the country’s democratic constitution. In its place, predictably, it would be substituted with socialist legalism. The forces of freedom saved the day for Perú and potentially for the Americas.

The Peruvian congress acted swiftly after Castillo wanted to bypass an incipient congressional motion that sought to constitutionally displace him from the presidency. By a 101 to 29 clear majority vote, the legislative body reverted the Marxist former president’s Bolshevik-style power grab. Additionally, the mistake made by Bolivian authorities during its 2019 liberation process was not repeated in Perú.

Castillo was quickly arrested and now faces criminal charges under the Peruvian Penal Code’s Title XVI in Chapter 1 and Article 346. Acting smart and with civic determination, Perú’s legitimate public forces closed off passages to the embassies of socialist dictatorial regimes like Bolivia’s. The urgency with which the Peruvian Congress acted, and the complimentary measures taken to safeguard democracy, should serve as a model to challenge the SPF dictatorial model.

A Referendum on a Postmodern Regime in the USA.

Leer en Español

The 2022 midterm election is a referendum, not on a government of a particular party with competing policy goals, but on a regime that is dead set on producing a systemic change. Left-wing radicals have sequestered the Democratic Party. The condition of “regime” is met by the auxiliary role that mass corporate media, the Big Tech cartel, woke capitalists, and the federal agencies of law enforcement (FBI, CIA, and DOJ) have in coalescing with the political power in a war to deconstruct America. 

Let’s be clear about the facts. The danger confronting the U.S. is not the potentiality of it transitioning into a social democracy. Socialism and social democracy are two entirely unique animals. The former destroys freedom. The latter undertakes a welfare-state approach within a democratic, capitalist system. The Nordic model, to stress the point, is not socialist. The leftist regime in power today is bent on establishing socialism within the postmodern context.

Without getting too bogged down in philosophical technicality, it becomes, however, inescapable to totally avert it. Every historical timeframe moves within a predominating intellectual paradigm. The Modern Era, for example, rested enormously on reason. Postmodernism, a frustrated child of cultural Marxism, is the intellectual framework in which we are living today. The postmodernist worldview argues that knowledge and truth are socially constricted and power springs from the emanating sociopolitical structure. 

The U.S. Continues to Fail Cuba.

That there is a brutal dictatorship still in power in communist Cuba, is an irrefutable fact. Popular expressions of discontent are a daily occurrence on the island. This is a sure sign that the totalitarian regime is in a state of decomposition. Despite the horrific crackdowns and onerous prison sentences, Cubans continue publicly to exhibit the will to be free. The U.S., an international force with a historical record of supporting liberty around the globe, is failing Cuba, yet again.

The 11^th of July Cuban Insurrection (11J), that epic event where hundreds of thousands of Cubans in over 72 localities took to the streets to demand their natural rights and an end to communist tyranny, presented the current American president with an unprecedented opportunity to facilitate regime change. Unfortunately, instead of acting decisively and in moral coherence with other foreign policy initiatives, such as the support for Ukraine (which is the right thing to do), the U.S. has done absolutely nothing to support the Cuban people. It’s response to the ensuing savage exercise of state terrorism carried out by the Castro-Communist kleptocracy, only produced symbolic verbal critiques and a lot of void drama by the American diplomatic corps.
