has been, without doubt, a military intelligence operation in history. The rescue of Ingrid Betancourt, three American contractors and Colombian soldiers and policemen filled with joy to the lovers of freedom throughout the world. For others, however, has been a bitter pill and a political blow.
is important to remember that powerful leftist forces around the world have always shown a strange and seemingly inexplicable hostility against Uribe and his government. Why, if Uribe is getting to defeat the FARC? Precisely for this reason. Have been sympathizing with the FARC, but, given the difficulty of defending a terrorist organization and narco-traffickers, have been expressing a hostility toward Uribe pilgrim. Only dare to defend Chavez The FARC publicly and say they were not a terrorist organization, but a legitimate national insurgency. He was not alone: \u200b\u200bit was simply the spokesman awkward position strangely popular.
How can sympathize with the FARC and Uribe look with resentment? We know the answer in the attitude of Fidel Castro.
to Castro and the communists in general, the enemy is the FARC or any other revolutionary organization, but the free market society and its democratic institutions. Here is the enemy must be defeated and destroyed, because it is society that creates inequality, poverty and social ills that accompany them. It was what I thought Karl Marx in the nineteenth century. From these premises it worked out the theory of imperialism, that foreign capital investment in a poor country without capital did not help the development of it, but it turned into a semi. The enemy were the major industrialized economies. These are explanations
seductive, and have managed to penetrate deep into the culture media worldwide. His undeniable intellectual appeal is greatly enhanced by envy. The rich and powerful are not the creators of wealth but of poverty, is a rationalization of resentment. It is curious that so many people believe that wealth is a natural state. It's absurd. Reach wealth is an extraordinarily difficult task. Natural resources are one, and even the most important of its elements.
History has proved the falsity of the Marxist. Capitalism has been the most progressive force in history. Has been the generator of the industrial revolution, and the promoter of the great scientific and technological revolution. China and India are emerging for the first time of misery precisely because of its capitalist reforms. One type of distorted capitalism as dominant in Latin America, is what has hindered the development of our continent. But there are many who have no interest in rectifying these distortions, but rather, under the guise of a social revolution to sweep away all the institutions''bourgeois''limiting the power of the rulers and take over an entire country like war booty. This is what Fidel Castro has done with Cuba, setting a precedent that excites and fascinates many ambitious unscrupulous.
Paradoxically, the main attraction of revolutionary ideas is its reactionary character. Want to rely on state power is as old as the pharaohs and absolute monarchies. People have lived under that system for millennia. It is therefore not surprising that many people feel unbearably pressured by the stresses of capitalist competition and longing for a system where the state should assume all responsibilities.
For Castro, the successful combat of the heroic Uribe and the Colombian army against FARC, strongly supported by the U.S., represents the embodiment of all its terrors. It is the frustration of Chavez's Bolivarian project, obtuse sleep heir of the continental revolution.
Uribe had become the main U.S. ally in South America. It was logical to become the main enemy of the left, and that he has wanted to demonize. He even accused of not wanting the freedom of Ingrid Betancourt, and subjected to enormous international pressure to force him to yield to the demands of the FARC, particularly that related to the clearing of part of the country. All in vain. Uribe did not budge, and now, finally, achieved a crushing victory. A bitter pill for Chavez and his minions: Evo, Correa and Daniel Ortega. Occidental
