The current world crisis, a product of the exhaustion of the neoliberal model of capitalism, far exceeds any previous situation. The market cannot transform the economic and social reality unless policies are undertaken to eliminate the profound inequalities accumulated over centuries of exploitation.
Speculation and wars cannot replace what the real economy provides, nor can they prevent the loss of hegemony of those who have no answers to the problems of globalization. That is why resorting to extreme solutions, such as fascism, becomes the way out of the oligarchic forces of the world today.
Pressure is exerted with debts because they keep the resources of the peoples in the banks of the powers; with the use of the currencies of the powerful, nations that seek their own or solidarity solutions to their problems are financially and economically blocked. Under these conditions they develop different ways of subverting the social order, with the material support of the powers interested in eliminating the example.
Naive people think that judicialization, criminalization of leaders, the influential role of the media and targeted protests are not fascist methods. The development of fear, terror to impose by force an extreme position contrary to the interests of the majority, is fascism.
This is the case with the attempts to subdue Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba, but also with the application of judicial or parliamentary coups d'état in Bolivia or Paraguay. The lynching in social networks, where the media that propagate divergent opinions are blocked or denied access, according to their freedom of press. Fascism is also the misrepresentation of concepts to confuse and confound men, or artificially create situations of chaos to justify the failures of the condemned State.
The use of mercenaries, intimidation, victimization of the family of leaders, without ruling out physical elimination or the intervention of foreign forces have also been applied.
Only the struggle for an inclusive program, based on transformations that guarantee equity and sovereignty, can drive the resistance of the majority that seeks this path. The Argentines, to characterize the military dictatorship suffered by that country, used a song by the musician Charly García: Los dinosaurios, to identify the outrages to which they were subjected.
The magnitude of events today seems to be taking a similar course, denying the right of peoples to a better world; but nothing can stop the march of history, even if some are determined to believe in the return of the dinosaurs.
