Current Events With Julio M. Shiling: Changes Are Coming With Trump
Leer en Español
Talking with the political scientist, writer and director of the political forum and digital publication, Patria de Martí, Julio M. Shiling is a learning experience, an invitation to reflect. With a Master's degree in Political Science, he is a lucid, observant man, attentive to reality, always seeking to glimpse the background of our society.
In light of the changes that are coming with the election of Donald Trump as the 47th president, we wanted to know his opinion on the future that could be glimpsed for the United States, the world, and his observations regarding Cuba.
—Donald Trump's election victory has given him almost total power, controlling both chambers of Congress. How could that power change the course of the United States, and in what sense?
—Donald Trump and the Republican Party received an extraordinary mandate from American society, which is reflected in their control of both chambers, and we can say that they also enjoy an ideological majority in the Supreme Court. That is rarely seen in history.
The mandate is clearly to reverse cultural socialism through different manifestations as seen in these 4 years in schools, and I am not necessarily referring to university education, but to what is primary education. Courses with teachings that start from neo-Marxist premises, in the work on what we know as Diversity Equity Inclusion, which are neo-Marxist forms that contradict the principles of equality before the law and propose mechanisms of discrimination, racism, and sexism, and certain courses that clash with the precepts that are protected precisely by the Civil Rights Law. The second part of this mandate focuses on dismantling the administrative state, what some call the deep state, a series of agencies with enormous powers, even police-like, such as the FBI, the CIA, the Internal Revenue Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department and intelligence agencies of the armed forces. The third domestic purpose is to strengthen basic freedoms. We have seen these past four years and we can say that the measures in many states against basic freedoms have led many to understand that the United States has lost a great deal of ground in freedom of expression and religious freedoms. We will see measures to strengthen those basic freedoms and strengthen institutions.
OP/ED: Michael Lima of Democratic Spaces contends that Rubio’s confirmation and a new Canadian government could redefine North American engagement in Latin America, fostering democratic reforms.
Confirming Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State would mark a pivotal shift in U.S. diplomacy, signaling a robust stand against authoritarian regimes worldwide. Known for his unyielding opposition to oppression and his extensive experience on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio would become the first Cuban American and Hispanic to lead U.S. foreign policy. His unique insights into authoritarianism and staunch advocacy for democracy could bring a transformative approach to critical regions, especially Latin America and China.
In Cuba and Latin America, Rubio’s personal and political insights stand out. He has consistently argued that Cuba’s suffering stems not from the U.S. embargo but from its entrenched communist system, rooted in Soviet-era policies and repressive practices. During Trump’s first term, Rubio played a key advisory role in implementing sanctions against the Cuban regime, including restrictions on U.S. companies and citizens engaging in transactions with Cuban military-controlled entities and the designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. If confirmed, Rubio would likely expand this hard-line approach, further isolating the regime and solidifying the U.S. stance against authoritarianism.
The Biden-Kamala regime's Directive 5240.01 authorizes the use of deadly force against political opponents with Trump in the Crosshair.
The passage of Directive 5240.01 on 9/27/24 by the Biden-Kamala administration in collusion with the Department of Defense represents a dangerous and brazen escalation against American democracy 6 weeks before the presidential election, by allowing the use of lethal force against political opponents and Donald Trump in the crosshairs:
The Democratic Regime Is Declaring War on Dissent and Opposition
This change in leadership comes in the face of Kamala's imminent defeat in the presidential election, which allows the use of lethal force against her political opponent Donald Trump and his supporters, effectively turning law enforcement and federal agencies into a political weapon to stay in power.
This directive undermines the rule of law and threatens the very foundations of democracy in the United States. It sets a dangerous precedent that will reaffirm and justify the power of the democratic regime in its use of new attacks on civil liberties and human rights and be able to lead the United States to a neo-Marxist dictatorial regime that began with Obama and has continued in his third term with the Biden-Harris administration, which intends to consecrate a fourth Obama term with the handpicked of Kamala Harris as a pretender to the presidency. (The American Díaz-Canel as Jorge Díaz-Díaz says).
This measure in the middle of the presidential election campaign and the hate speech full of lies against Trump promoted by Kamala and promoted by Biden is a call to eliminate Trump at any cost, including his physical elimination.
The US Democratic Party has long been regarded as a ‘progressive’ political force that has veered to the neo-Marxist far left by promoting villas and castles to Americans to woo their votes and implement a socialist regime.
They have successfully used neo-Marxist indoctrination to adapt to contemporary society, which emphasizes class struggle, systematic oppression, and the need for revolutionary change through the deceptive propaganda of principles of ‘equality’ and ‘social justice’ that have failed in every country where the original doctrines or modifications of Marxism have been implemented. Incredibly, this ideology of failure has gained popularity in the United States thanks to the ignorance of a part of the electorate that is taking the red bait with siren songs and the radical left of the Democratic Party, which has adopted communist premises in its political platform.
1 Objectives of the Neo-Marxist Indoctrination in the Democratic Party
1.1 Developing ‘Diversity’, ‘Equity’ and ‘Inclusion’ of Gender and Racial Identity
One of the fundamental objectives of neo-Marxist indoctrination in the Democratic Party is the destruction of cultural pillars such as the family, organized religion, and control of law and media as a strategy to establish cultural hegemony by promoting gender and racial identity as determinants of social inequality. In the name of equality and justice proclaimed by neo-Marxists to address systemic discrimination, policies and programs to promote diversity and inclusion are creating a new kind of discrimination against white and male individuals, who are seen as beneficiaries of historical privilege. Affirmative action and similar programs argue that these policies create reverse discrimination and perpetuate divisions between different social groups.
In addition to these concerns, there is also the question of whether preferential treatment addresses the root causes of systemic discrimination or is pure rhetoric to justify neo-Marxist policies. While it is essential to provide opportunities for historically marginalized groups, policies that discriminate against other groups are being promoted to maintain control and manipulate society in a socialist direction.
1.2 Develop the Policy of Cancelling Out Dissenting Voices Including Persecution and Arrest.
In addition, neo-Marxist indoctrination in the Democratic party has promoted the cancellation of dissenting voices that deviate from the narrative of oppression and class struggle. Those who openly criticize identity politics and social justice have been convicted as racist, sexist, or xenophobic, including the persecution and arrest of anyone who opposes their ideology or who does not share the left's vision without allowing open and respectful debate on these issues.
1.3 Raising Taxes on the Rich and Big Corporations to Fund Their Plans
Another aspect of the neo-Marxist indoctrination in the Democratic party is its focus on the redistribution of wealth through a system of progressive taxation and expanded welfare programs. It has advocated increased taxes on the rich and large corporations to fund education, health, and housing programs for the underprivileged, under the guise of combating economic inequality to maintain its plans to control society by making citizens dependent on the socialist government.
1.4 Consequences of Neo-Marxist Policies
The neo-Marxist policies of the Democratic party hurt the economy, discouraging investment and job creation, and creating a culture of dependence on the government instead of fostering independence and social mobility for citizens.
Moreover, neo-Marxist indoctrination in the Democratic Party has led to political polarization and increased division in US society. Incendiary rhetoric and demonization of those not adhering to the dominant ideology have exacerbated tensions and made constructive dialogue between political factions more difficult.
Ultimately, it is important to recognize that the neo-Marxist indoctrination in the Democratic Party has affected most of its members who have been hijacked and indoctrinated by the extreme socialist left that now controls and leads the Democratic Party. Only a few democrats continue to advocate traditional principles of social justice and equity without resorting to the ideological radicalization of petty socialism.
In conclusion, neo-Marxist indoctrination has left a significant mark that has destroyed not only the traditional Democratic Party but the existential roots of American society, which for years was the democratic bastion of the civilized world that maintained a balance of power and competition between parties of different ideological strands.
2 Arguments for the Socialist Turn of the Democratic Party
The Democratic Party has already implemented some of the neo-Marxist policies it intends to implement as an oppressive regime in the country associated with policies that undermine individual liberties and create a climate of repression in the American nation.
One of the main concerns is the tendency of the Democratic Party to promote policies that increase the power of government and reduce the autonomy of citizens. For example, proposals such as increased regulation of the economy, and greater government control over education and health care could lead to a more intrusive and authoritarian government under the guise of expanding the ‘welfare state’.
2.1 Restriction of Free Speech in the Name of ‘Political Correctness’ and Protection of Minorities
Furthermore, the Democratic party has demonstrated its ability to restrict freedom of speech in the name of ‘political correctness’ and the protection of minorities. While it is important to protect the rights and dignity of all citizens, these measures have been used to censor dissenting political and scientific opinions, as in the case of COVID and climate change, and to limit any public debate that goes against their ideology, destroying democracy and pluralism.
2.2 Restricting and Controlling the Right To Bear Arms
Another concern is the Democratic Party's stance on the right to bear arms, a fundamental issue for many Americans who see gun ownership as a symbol of freedom and self-defense. The party has advocated tighter restrictions on gun ownership, which could undermine the constitutional right of citizens to defend themselves and their families.
2.3 Control, Surveillance, and Repression of Political Dissent
In addition, the Democratic party has cracked down on its political opponents by using federal institutions such as the FBI, CIA, and DOJ as political police and armed wing that started with the fake Russia dossier against Donald Trump with the Obama regime, continued with the political prisoners on January 6, the indictments and trials of Trump under the Biden-Kamala regime, to eliminate him from the presidential race, and population control, such as the use of surveillance cameras and mass collection of personal data, under the pretext of ensuring national security and preventing crime. However, these policies have violated citizens' privacy and provoked a surveillance state to suppress political dissent.
2.4 Open Borders, Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants, and Id-Free Voting
Another cause for concern is the Democratic party's stance on uncontrolled immigration, which has maintained a policy of open borders and ID-free voting to obtain votes even from illegals, proposing amnesty for the millions of undocumented immigrants including mass legalization of totally uncontrolled immigration of their own making, which has welcomed criminals, drug and human traffickers, and spies who have infiltrated along with immigrants seeking more favorable opportunities for their lives and families.
While it is important to address the situation of undocumented immigrants in a humanitarian manner and a comprehensive solution, these policies have negative and disastrous consequences for national security and social cohesion, creating tensions and conflicts in society due to increased crime and criminal acts, as well as the countless social, economic and employment benefits that many of them are already receiving in so-called sanctuary cities and are causing job losses for American workers, due to the low wages that employers can pay immigrants.
2.5 Connection to Radical Groups and Extremist Movements That Promote Violence and Hatred
In addition, the Democratic Party has maintained connections with radical groups and extremist movements that promote violence and hatred within the United States and against our main ally Israel, and on behalf of the Palestinians. Democratic leaders have supported groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, which have provoked riots, looting of businesses, arson, physical assaults, and acts of extreme violence in the streets such as in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which was devastated by BLM demonstrations, as well as calls for measures and laws to defund the police that endanger the security and social stability of the United States.
Overall, there is growing concern that the Democratic party, in its eagerness to promote a progressive and socialist agenda, may implement an oppressive regime in the United States that limits individual liberties and undermines democracy. Citizens need to be vigilant keep their eyes open to these trends and stand firm in defense of democratic values, Judeo-Christian rights, and constitutional rights, to prevent the country from falling into tyranny and socialist repression.
Americans wake up!Socialism is at the door of the White House, with one foot in and one foot out.We still have time to stop it. Vote for Trump and MAGA!
