From The Antifascist Congress In Venezuela

September 16, 2024 Rosa Miriam Elizalde Resumen English. , , ,
In Venezuela, more than a thousand international guests from 95 countries gathered this week at the first World Congress against Fascism, Neo-Fascism and similar expressions. We listened to brilliant interventions that defined the conceptual framework where these political groups are produced and reproduced and emphasized crucial and novel elements of the new era. But the surname 2.0 is not secondary. The new technologies -particularly the so-called social networks- that these political formations have known how to use before and better than others, with the help of algorithms that favor by design polarization, extremism and the exacerbation of feelings of irritability and compulsion to violence in the eagerness to compete for attention, weigh heavily.

The peoples around the world have looked to Venezuela as a vanguard leading Nuestra América in its second independence struggle, against the US. The US rulers operate as the inheritor of the European colonial empires, assuming the right to interfere in other countries’ elections, and dictate who are the winners. No other country - save US underlings in Europe, and Israel - dares to violate international law so brazenly. The Venezuelan right-wing had no real plan to win a democratic election, but instead prepared for a coup d’etat even before the polls closed. Working with the US government and corporate media, they allege President Maduro stole the July 28 presidential election, then committed human rights abuses to crush protests.
