Andre Vltchek: Why Venezuela As Well As Syria Cannot Fall
Despite tremendous hardship which the Venezuelan people are having to face, despite the sanctions as well as intimidation from abroad, President Nicolás Maduro has won a minute six-year term.
Two weeks ago, at the Venezuelan diplomatic mission inwards Nairobi, Kenya, where I addressed several leaders of East African left-wing opposition, an acting Charge d’ Affaires, Jose Avila Torres, declared: “People of Venezuela are at i time facing like province of affairs every bit the Syrian people.”
True. Both nations, Venezuela as well as Syria, are separated yesteryear a tremendous geographical distance, simply they are united yesteryear the same fate, same decision as well as courage.
During the Castilian Civil War, Czech anti-fascist fighters, volunteers inwards the International Brigades, used to say: “In Madrid nosotros are fighting for Prague”. Madrid fell to Franco’s fascists inwards Oct 1939. Prague had been occupied yesteryear High German troops several months earlier, inwards March 1939. It was the blindness as well as cowardice of the European leaders, also every bit the back upward which the murderous fascist hordes received from populations of all corners of the continent, which led to i of the greatest tragedies inwards modern history – a tragedy which alone ended on May 9, 1945, when the Soviet troops liberated Prague, defeating Nazi Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany as well as de facto saving the world.
More than seventy years later, the basis is facing about other calamity. The West, mentally unfit to peacefully halt its several centuries long murderous reign over the planet – a reign that has already taken several hundreds of millions of human lives – is flexing its musculus as well as madly snapping inwards all directions, provoking, antagonizing as well as fifty-fifty straight attacking countries every bit far apart every bit Democratic People's South Korea (DPRK), China, Iran, Russia, Syrian Arab Republic as well as Venezuela.
What is happening at i time is non called fascism or Nazism, simply it clearly is exactly that, every bit the barbaric dominion is based on a profound spite for non-Western human lives, on fanatical right-wing dogmas which are stinking of exceptionalism, as well as on the unbridled wishing to command the world.
Many countries that refused to yield to vicious Western forcefulness were latterly literally leveled alongside the ground, including Afghanistan, Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya as well as Iraq. In many other ones, the governments were overthrown yesteryear direct as well as indirect interventions, also every bit deceit, every bit was the illustration inwards the mightiest province inwards Latin America – Brazil. Countless “color”, “umbrella” as well as other “revolutions” also every bit “springs” quest maintain been sponsored yesteryear Washington, London as well as other Western capitals.
But the basis is waking up, like shooting fish in a barrel simply irreversibly, as well as the struggle for survival of our human race has already begun.
Venezuela as well as Syrian Arab Republic are, unquestionably, at the frontline of the struggle.
Against all odds, haemorrhage simply heroically erect, they stand upward against the overwhelmingly mightier force, as well as spend upward to hand up.
“Here no i surrenders!” shouted Hugo Chavez, already balding from chemotherapy, dying of cancer which many inwards Latin America believe, was administered to him from the United States. His fist was clenched as well as heavy pelting was falling on his face. Like this, died i of the greatest revolutionaries of our time. But his revolution survived, as well as is marching on!
