Session IN21: The Rise of Neocommunism in Latin America
February 19, 9:00 - 9:45
Abstract:
The usual distinction between a "totalitarian Left" and a "Democratic Left" in Latin America is completely out of purpose. Most of the continent's leftist parties are affiliated to the São Paulo Forum, the general headquarters of Latin-American neo-communism, founded in 1990 by Fidel Castro and Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. The Forum held twelve general assemblies, whose proceedings, long time supressed, can now be acessed at my electronic newspaper
www.midiasemmascara.org. Its resolutions, signed by the unanimity of the members, have a mandatory character over all the affiliated organizations of the São Paulo Forum. They outline the blueprint for the conquest of total power over the continent.
Even a perfunctory examination of these papers (most of them in Spanish) shows the strategical unity behind the different lines followed by the several leftist parties and organizations in Latin America . Crime, drug dealing and guerilla warfare are not opposed to legal democratic politics, but skilfully articulated to it for the best overall success of the general strategy, intented, as declared at the occasion of the 4
th. São Paulo Forum assembly, to "reconquer in Latin America all that was lost in East Europe."
