Anti-populism takes up anti-communism

Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero

The removal of the sculptures of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara has renewed the debate surrounding anti-communism in Mexico. The animosity of the radical Morena supporters places President Claudia Sheinbaum facing a significant challenge, given the historical trajectory of anti-communism in Mexico, an issue that requires careful, thoughtful, and critical approach. Anti-communism in Mexico is not new, but it has gained strength in the last decade, especially since 2006, when animosity and anti-populism intensified following post-election conflicts and the wave of the South American left.

This phenomenon transcends mere electoral competition and is an ideological confrontation that seeks to arouse fears of communism. This strategy could have profound consequences for the country's political and social polarization, primarily because it appeals to North American interests. Mexican society is deeply conservative, illiberal, and more nationalist than progressive, which further complicates the situation.

As the ruling party, Morena faces major problems in this context, including a lack of internal cohesion and discipline, as well as an excessive focus on external demands, such as those of Donald Trump. The opposition has found support in external sectors, such as business, civil society, and the Catholic Church, which appear interested in countering López Obrador's influence on Sheinbaum.

Anti-communism in Mexico draws fundamentally from two sources: Catholic nationalism and the influence of the United States.

In the past, the Mexican left has struggled to effectively counter these forces, in part due to the conservative and illiberal nature of Mexican society. Mexico was a hub for the World Anti-Communist League, where the PRI had a permanent membership. To emerge successful this time, it is crucial that Morena and its leaders opt for moderation and pragmatism. Moving away from ideological extremes and the influence of radical actors, as well as controversial actors exposed by media scandals, could be a more effective strategy to regain legitimacy in society. Moderation and constructive dialogue, both nationally and internationally, could be key to navigating these challenges and promoting more inclusive and sustainable development for Mexico.

President Sheinbaum should carefully consider how to address the issue of communism and anti-communism in her administration, prioritizing moderation and pragmatism in her public policies and governance. This could help reduce polarization and promote greater stability and social cohesion in the country. There is no point in burning the country down for lost causes.

In this context, the question is whether Morena will rise to the bait of the anti-communist struggle and what effect this will have on the Mexican social environment. The answer will largely depend on the strategy adopted by President Sheinbaum and her team, and how they balance internal and external pressures with the need to promote more inclusive and sustainable development for Mexico.

History has shown that the Mexican left has lost important battles against anti-communism, and the level of factionalism and incompetence within the Mexican left has also contributed to its historic defeats. Therefore, it is critical that Morena and its leaders learn from these experiences and develop an effective strategy to address the challenges faced in the current context.

BOOK REVIEW

By Arely Lucas Abundio, Brayan Martínez Martínez and Luis Ángel Isidro Bonilla, students of the Bachelor of Political Science at the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla.

The book is a reflection on anti-communism as a geopolitical factor, and analyzes it in three periods: prior to the Second World War, during the cold war and in the post-communism period.

As the pages of this political analysis are turned, several questions appear: how do these ideologies affect Mexico? Did anti-communism trigger the 1968 student massacre? Is López Obrador a communist? What defines us as political scientists?

Reading this research allows us to understand the evolution of an ideology and myth that provided Mexicans with a false vision of the world and a partial view of history; anti-communism legitimized authoritarian actions by political, economic and social leaders who claimed to protect the homeland at any cost.

The historical analysis led the authors to find in Poland's Catholic nationalism a fundamental factor for the development of global anti-communism. They recover the trajectory of intransigent integral Catholic political thought, -for example, of Vladimir Ledochowski- that places the Freemasons, Jews and Russians as enemies, although after the October revolution anti-communism is added, which irradiates the anti-Bolshevik experience towards Europe. from the East and that, hand in hand with the Vatican, reaches Latin America and Mexico.

The Intermarium was a project that will allow Poland to protect its sovereignty. After the fall of the tsarist empire and the survival of the Orthodox Church, Poland was characterized by its defense of the anti-communist movement to preserve its political-religious integrity and be a future buffer against the Soviet Union and Germany.

The geopolitical interest of the Catholic Church in Poland is essential to maintain itself as a religious hegemon in Eastern Europe, highlighting the need for the Holy See to create a perfect Christian society, the City of God on earth, but at the same time showing a face radical, authoritarian and papolatra.

Anti-communism becomes a converging element of the European and Cold War wars of the last century, and out of a fervent struggle for the new world order, this process spreads everywhere under the leadership of the United States of America. America.

The Polish Intermarium project will have as its main objective to stop the spread of communism by displaying a series of narratives and actions that will unleash conservative and religious phobias towards Freemasons, Jews and communists, while at the same time being essential to explain the vision of Catholic nationalism.

Latin American countries, characterized by the great influence of Catholicism and extreme Spanish-American conservatism, adopt the US national security project governed by the Intermarium.

Mexico was one of the countries most aided by anti-communism, Catholic nationalism, Francoist influence and secret societies financed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Francoism manipulated the question of Hispanidad to turn Spanish spiritual imperialism into a quintessential conservatism that denies the virtues of liberal democracy, but fights head-on against communism. Ibero-American conservatism highlights the attachment to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and its influence in all social spheres.

The anti-communist right in Latin America has a long history, accompanying the religious and authoritarian character of the oligarchies. During World War II, its presence grew stronger and, over time, it established itself as an ally of US imperialism. The set of strategies against the USSR will mark the stage of the dirty war against the Latin American left. The thread that the text discovers between Nazi-fascism and Yankee imperialism, evidences the link between the Intermarium and North American Atlanticism.

Based on the influence of the Intermarium on the secret societies of Catholic nationalism, the book analyzes the consequences that an ideology such as anti-communism can bring to the political culture of Mexico. The conservative culture not only tries to prevent left-wing parties from reaching power and forming a government, but also influences the authoritarian patrimonialism represented by the different political groups that have reached the presidency of Mexico, cacique corporatism and the lack of solidity for a authentic liberal democratic culture.

The gap of inequality, marginalization, vulnerability and impunity is the ideal breeding ground for authoritarianism. The Intermarium is reborn in the new right-wing wave in the world, with strong Russophobia without the USSR and non-communist Russia; promoting the hegemony of the United States and the Catholic Church now in the dispute for the world order after neoliberalism and covid-19.

Communism and anti-communism caused a stir in political systems around the world. It is important to question to what extent they were struggles against imperialism and for national emancipation.

This essay explains the validity of the ideas, hatreds, contradictions and dialectics of an anti-communism that is still present in Mexico and that has a presence in many social sectors.

The anti-communist discourse in our country is socialized on a daily basis, although the Mexican Republic does not have a communist party, but the memory of 1968 and the destruction of the revolutionary guerrillas makes clear the force of Catholic nationalism in the anti-liberal political culture of our society.

Intermarium, Imperialism and Coup in Latin America

Intermarium, Imperialism and Coup in Latin America

A few months ago, the Albores Magazine of the UAQ (2018 N.3) published a collective article on North American geopolitics during the Cold War era https://www.comecso.com/publicaciones/revista-albores-num-3. Weeks later, the Polish intellectual Maciek Wisniewski (La Jornada, 9/8/2019), expressed his surprise that the Latin American ultra right would take notes of an old and local project as, at the beginning of the 20th century, Josef Pilsudski was thinking . The historical analysis of Western intelligence strategies shows that the one who really resumed said anti-communist project and transferred it in principle to the Nazis and then to the Americans was the Catholic Church. The tripod faced the USSR and won in the Cold War, it is currently held as the triangle of Western control in the world.

Although the current geopolitics considers that the coordinates of the international analysis can no longer be those of the postwar period, the truth is that the protagonists of that moment are still the central states in the new world order. Likewise, the dementia of the myth of a Judeo Masonic Communist Conspiracy is the rhetoric of Latin American rights to propose an anti-Semitism without Jews (Claudio Lomnitz), capable of developing a machinery of death, disappearance and extermination against those who oppose the Holy Alliance : Christianity, Nazis and North America.

What happened in Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia show the strength of the theory and practice of Intermarium in Latin America. The Christian fundamentalism of the Catholic, Protestant and evangelical nationalists is nourished by an extremely violent and murderous anti-communist rage. Even though the Latin American left frequently took the option of guerrillas to generate the transformations that inspired their utopias, when it comes to hate, violence and authoritarianism, the right provides the strongest examples.

Medieval Christian thought, more than fascism, influences the action of rights and qualifies as universal enemies those who postulate progressive, social or nationalist ideas. The Catholic Church achieved the survival of the Roman Empire thanks to the persecution and extermination of communities reluctant to political religion. In this sense, for two thousand years the axis has been anti-Semitism or anti-Judaism; The method of destruction against the Jews is employed against the enemies of Christianity. Adolfo Hitler and his collaborators implemented it at the time, later, North America directs it.

The striking behavior of the Latin American right recalls the Cesaropapist expansionism. These Crusade or Holy War postulates have been used by American Imperialism to lead these warrior monks and create a highly favorable context; Thus, anticommunism has served to make Latin America the backyard of the Anglo-Saxon and Christian living space

The most forceful events for Latin America are closely linked to activities of the North American Intelligence Office. Although public opinion and a good part of the American political class support the United States to do what is necessary to amend the Hispanic chaos, the truth is that, paradoxically, disorder in adolescent republics is most convenient to Anglo-Saxon imperialism.

The historical sequence of foreign interventions, coups, indigenous extermination, rural communities, student and revolutionary communities have a common denominator: the CIA. The belligerence and terrorism of the rightist groups are financed by North America and the Holy See, the revolutionary leftist groups, rather than communist, have been anti-American nationalist groups.

Historical research has found the intersection of American Intelligence to generate the balances of power that suit their interests. Thanks to the Catholic national right, Latin America is chaos and is kidnapped by factual powers that constitute the true face of Western fundamentalism: the clerical Borgias. The enemies of Latin American modernity are the Ayatollahs of the faith who have no respect for life, the common good and marginalized social groups. They are still in the task of consolidating the Counter Reformation; rebuild the Carolingian Empire or the Holy Roman Empire.

The conflict results in the generation of Failed States that are ending up affecting North America. Latin American instability is equal to disproportionate emigration, drug trafficking and organized crime. The Failed States are zombie nations that are getting closer to North America. The southern United States can now be considered Hispanicized.

The American geopolitics have long warned, the risks for the Yankee Empire to solve the political behaviors of the Latin American right. But the invisible American government insists on controlling the hemisphere under agreements with the clerofascist groups in the region. The relationship of the United States with ultra-Christian groups is similar to that of Caligula and his horse. With them bread be eaten.

Faced with a context of exclusion, poverty, discrimination, cacicazgos and orphanhood, only emigration, informality and drug trafficking represent real options for the poorest population, which is the majority, to find a possibility to change their conditions. Both ways, the United States is the point of arrival.

In the face of the Latin American chaos managed by the rights, the United States will not be able to face the tandem of Latin American structural and historical problems and demands. More than a Hispanic challenge, the situation can become a final challenge.

The coup in Bolivia, the repression of social movements, enforced disappearances, the inhibition of social policies and the anti-communist polarization place us in that procedural democracies in the region must wear Mickey Mouse's ears and the crucifix. The geniuses of our political science are not even able to propose parliamentarism as a mediator, adducing cultural traditions. The Latin American lefts are warned, in that way, of the cost involved in the confrontation with the United States and the Cesaropapist rights. The 4T in Mexico will turn a Disneyland scenario to prevent the reactionaries from putting on Rambo's costume, there is the case of Pedro Salmerón and San Eugenio Garza Sada.

Latin America cannot protect itself from North America, the United States only respects countries that possess nuclear weapons; However, given the medieval time of our context, the Caudillo Bolívar of Gabriel García Márquez will remain lost in his labyrinth and will only find comfort in the Quijote de la Mancha.

The end of the Cristero War?

The end of the Cristero War?
June 27, 2019

In 1929 the Agreements that brought peace to the conflict between the Catholic Church and Mexico were generated through the intervention of the United States of America and some of the world's main anti-Communist agents of the Holy See such as Edmund Walsh. The conflicts, unfortunately, continued. Still in 1937, Mexico, the Spanish Republic and the Soviet Union were besieged by Catholic nationalism that the Holy See implemented in several regions. The intransigent religious integralism was transformed into a confrontation with the Mexican Revolution, the social, indigenous and peasant movements.

            Some years ago, historians such as Paolo Valvo and Fernando M. González came to the conclusion that certain bishops deceived the Holy See to involve it in the conflict and to acquire international pressure so that the Mexican government not only gave in to the demands of the conservative groups but, above all, stop the actions of social justice that had been sustained in the revolutionary demands. The objective was successful in the short, medium and long term. From the Agreements, then in 1941, during the Cold War and, above all, in the neoliberal era, it has gone from a diplomatic negotiation to a frank concordat where the republic is subordinated to an imperialism.

            Despite the interpretation that historians make of the evidence, it is necessary to enrich the analysis with other sources and studies. It is true that local groups can manipulate things and distort information for an institution as large as the Catholic Church. However, given the geopolitical, historical, economic, social and informative power that Catholicism has; it does not lend itself to manipulation. It is incredible that, on the one hand, the Catholic Church is considered one of the pillars against the fight against world communism and, on the other hand, it is said to be deceived by some bishops located in our country.

            The Spanish Republic was destroyed by the intervention of the Holy See in support of fascism, a similar pattern would develop in the USSR at the turn of the twentieth century. The regime of the Mexican Revolution saved the skin, but had to make multiple concessions and only kept the adjective against the counterrevolutionary demands to which it was subjected.

The Cristero War was an unfortunate event that should not have happened and that was caused by the ecclesiastical hierarchy attached to the Holy See. A perpetuation of the civil war that seems endless and prevents building a national project and develop an institutional scaffolding to promote well-being and well being among Mexicans. The remembrance of the agreements with the Holy See should be indicative that Mexico is subject to two imperialisms and that, in the face of such a situation, things are complicated.

              Edmund Walsh was one of the Jesuit architects who infiltrated the USSR and shaped the anticommunism of the Cold War. Faced with such characters, can you believe that Mexicans cheat the Vatican State?

               The anticlericalism of the first half of the twentieth century in Mexico and Latin America is justified. The political groups that tried to modernize and change the social structure of their countries, did not imagine that the Old Regime had such strong and powerful allies as the Holy See. General Porfirio Diaz's own government had to turn into a clerical dictatorship in the face of the impossibility of exercising a government without the pacts with the religious institution.

            General Plutarco Elías Calles and Licenciado Benito Juárez are patriots who show us the way in which a government has to emancipate itself to combat this form of interventionism that does not cease or change over the years. In the case of Mexico, the agreements of 1929 are the sign of a pact between institutions that would end up subjecting Mexico and Mexicans to the control of intransigent integral Catholics. The military, agraristas and citizens who decided to confront the Holy See in those difficult days, must also be admired as heroes.

            The space of Mexico was always ambitioned by several powers and the Cristero War was the conflict where the United States was also subjected to this tutoring of Imperialist Political Catholicism. The importance of remembering the imposition of these Agreements for the Mexican State, includes understanding one of the ideological inheritances of this coexistence with the Holy See: anti-communism.

            This form of political thought authorized the survival of the most retrograde and anti-modern forms of the Mexican and Latin American social structure. Anti-communism, the legacy of such agreements, is maintained today with such radical ways as if only yesterday Lenin had come to power. Many groups of intransigent integral Catholicism forget that they co-governed with the PRI much more than thirty years neoliberal. The ninety years that fulfill the agreements of 1929 are the period of understanding between North America, the revolutionary Family and the Holy See to take over the country. In all these years only the Mexicans have lost, they have given time, sweat, blood, tears and resources for the dispute of these hegemonic powers that will never dedicate a few minutes of their mercy.

            Andrés Manuel López Obrador is treated by the groups of the Mexican extreme right as if he were Tomás Garrido Canabal. Sometimes I should answer them as if I were. It is not like that, AMLO defines himself as a God-fearing man and there is no doubt about the ecumenical Christianity he practices, that is, to the detriment of the country's progressive liberal-ecological groups.

            However, the agnostic-nihilistic-secular thought is misunderstood everywhere. The gods do not go to sea or space, they return in many ways and continue to nourish people's lives.

            Despite the fact that religious representatives are held responsible for serious infamies, society needs metaphysical elements to continue living and to procure, as far as possible, its existence. However irrational religions may be, they manifest as control institutions that favor social order. And order, as an instinct for conservation, is necessary for human survival.

            I hope that the far right also understood that the Welfare State and the distribution of wealth are elements that favor the conservation of humanity.

            Anti-communism was the flag that was used in the last ninety years by those who plundered the country and subjected it to the imperialisms of the West. Power has always been the goal of your strategy. They never cared about the young man of the Gospels or the Tonantzin of December twelve.

            The agreements and the reform of Article 130 must be seen as a product of imperialism that subjects Mexico and that is responsible for the serious social conditions that we keep.

Anticommunism, the old rage in Latin America

Anticommunism, the old rage in Latin America

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) no longer exists; However, in Latin America the political culture seems to have not heard. When Latin American governments and politicians insist on becoming nationalists, soon disqualifications arise where the anticommunist paroxysm radically sprouts. This unreason has been the factor that, throughout the twentieth century, has prevented the consolidation of the State and the Republic; underdevelopment is the obvious consequence. To end the eternal Latin American poverty, in terms of Rhina Roux, it is enough to return their costumes to the Prince.

Anti-communism was accompanied by unbearable US military interventions. The geopolitical capacity of the North American empire has been radical in the conjunctural moments of Latin nationalism. But times have changed, democratization and the market modified the international game; The United States will end up hurting itself if it decides to summon the anticommunist networks of its strategy.

Robert Pastor describes the conflictive cycle of Spanish-American relations as "swirling". Neither learns nor tries to understand the other. The concrete thing is that Yankee interventionism only results in poverty, corruption, emigration, drug trafficking and all the ills of what is now called the "Failed State". These diseases have been infected and spread in the American Union, the advances of these pathologies within American social capital are stratospheric. Samuel Huntington and George Friedman have warned it decades ago, the United States must stop attending to the ayatollahs of hate and religious fundamentalists just as they did when they let go of Edmund Walsh if they do not want to fail as it happened recently with the most extensive of their paralyzes governmental.

Venezuela's populist regime is exhausted, it's true; however, worse is a military intervention and ridiculous an immediate request for elections. Maduro must be helped to complete his government or make general elections at a reasonable, fair and competitive time. To seek a solution like the one in Guatemala in 1954 is to forget how much the world has changed. The anti-communists stayed in 1905. The world can scrupulously observe the following elections and the Bolivarian government must abandon power if the people no longer hold it.

Today there is Russia, an old empire with a geopolitical and military power similar to the United States but with a greater capacity to adapt to the times of globalization. American society knows the Russian power in its own flesh, it is the modern instruments - formal and informal - that allowed the recovery and development of the most significant central state of the Slavic Baltic civilization. The 1962 crisis could be repeated; but, this time, the nuclear warheads and something else would remain. Venezuela is not alone.

Robert Pastor rightly points out that the teleological principles of American foreign policy must change with respect to Latin America. The American Union must extend throughout the continent and the region can share development, democracy and security in a co-responsible and confederate manner. Local anti-communism must be rejected not only because it is anachronistic but also because it is dangerous and abusive. Latin American schizophrenia always results in the benefit of a parasitic and medieval oligarchy. Even though the Catholic Church has ceased to be anti-Communist and Mario Bergoglio himself placed himself in a position similar to that of the Mexican government, the Constantine radicals long for the arrival of the Marines everywhere and in all the countries of the hemisphere. His great technocratic capacity only reaches to produce mentalities like that of Luis Pazos.

Anti-anti-Communism can be a reference of our time. Communism is dead and it is time that anticommunism - and its brothers: Nazism, Judeophobia, clericalism, fascism, etc. - also do it. How else will ideas and politics be renewed in our republics?

Manuel Bartlett: CIA and the Intermarium

Bartlett: the CIA and the Intermarium

August 20, 2018

What is hidden in the historical trajectory of the anti-communist struggle in Latin America? While it is true that Manuel Bartlett's past is as it is, the remarks about the inclusion of this character in the next government of the republic move to reflect on the use and fear of geopolitical strategies for groups that benefited from the context of the cold war and they do not want to lose their privileges. In the absence of intelligence, but above all of legitimacy, the Mexican right insists on maintaining the fallacy and conspiratorial astuteness as the only strategy to achieve power.

Bartlett is a passive asset of Mexican and American security groups. Maybe that's why the right fears him so much. Maybe that's why the US government will never act against him as Rafael Loret de Mola supposed. The events in which this character played were always guided by the fascist consensus that linked the Holy See and the United States of America against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. One of its edges is called Intermarium.

During the second half of the 20th century, the fear of the communist Masonic Jewish conspiracy caused the Americans to grant the Nazis, intransigent integral Catholics, businessmen and conservatives; infiltrate all Latin American corners. The actions to maintain Latin America within the "free world" were diverse. From the promotion of academic programs of political science, liberal press, Catholic universities, to the formation of white guards, control of public administration, formation of a business class, infiltration of national security and, lately, the governance of the organized crime.

Revolutionary nationalism in Mexico constituted a myth, an approach impracticable by the geopolitical context after the Second World War. The patriotic fraud was called Intermarium and it served so that the different rights were succeeded in the political and economic power. The Mexican right can not pretend surprised by the behavior of the "men of the system", with whom they coexisted and instructed. The fear of Manuel Bartlett is nothing other than the fear of a set of actions that they created and developed in a common way. They can not exonerate themselves, historically they are more responsible.

The neoliberal globalization constituted a reactivation of the common interests between the Latin American and Anglo-Saxon rights; however, at the time of the balance, North America maintains losses and errors like those of the USSR in relation to its political satellites. The United States has suffered a total erosion due to the lack of correspondence and autonomy of the other emerging liberal and capitalist nations. The signals of Donald Trump to the political and business class of Mexico are more than certain, that is why the North American geopolitics is changing and emancipating itself from fascist consensuses such as the Intermarium. Mexico did not become the average liberal power that is adequately related socially and economically with the neighbor to the north, as promised by the right when it was assimilated to the anticommunist strategies of the CIA and the Intermarium. Raymundo RivaPalacio wonders if it had not been more successful, in this strategy, that Manuel Bartlett had been president of Mexico instead of Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

The Cold War ended and Russia is closer to a government of the Black Century than Bolshevik. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agree on interests to protect their respective nations. In the case of the United States, a cleansing of the intelligence apparatus is generated, as well as a disconnection of the "freeloaders" who took advantage, to the excess, of a fear of Russia that was always false. The crusade against corruption in Mexico must go through a similar strategy: emancipate many areas of the country that the right dominates, for example, higher education.

Donald Trump builds policies against Mexican immigrants in North America to retaliate for the abuses that powerful and corrupt Mexicans commit; however, in the situation of characters like Manuel Bartlett, the US government and the new Mexican regime must pay attention. The Mexican right only knows how to create demented myths that contribute nothing to the development of a country, its leaders are conspiracy experts where the abusive, racist, clerical and gachupines of always exist. Mexico's new government will not rebuild relations with the United States as long as the corporate sector refuses to pay its historical responsibility. Mexican corruption is deeply rooted in private initiative, men like Manuel Bartlett know it and that explains the deep fear that they have
