Chavismo and hatred of Spain as political weapons

🔊 Hearken to the put up

Though Chavismo didn’t invent Hispanophobia, it has all the time promoted the “black legend” as a political weapon, particularly in opposition to Spain and the Hispanic world in america basically, particularly when issues had been going so badly that nothing might be executed When escaping media consideration.

What we name the “Black Legend” refers back to the darkish and unfavourable propaganda narrative that hangs over Spain and your complete Latino folks, that’s, the picture of backwardness, intolerance, pessimism; even when it has some racist overtones, as a result of Spaniards aren’t ” Purely European”.

The time period “Black Legend” was coined by the Spanish intellectuals Emilia Pardo Bazin and Julian Judrias, and represents a actuality as a result of these prejudices that distort our historical past and tradition aren’t primarily based on Actuality, as a substitute, was primarily based on propaganda, which on the time was a weapon within the fingers of the hostile forces of the Spanish monarchy.

Nonetheless, in our time, Spain isn’t an actual energy, and the individuals who most frequently use this false and unfair narrative are the Spaniards themselves, to start with.

Spanish Tradition Minister Ernest Urtasun (grandson of a Falangist member, by the best way) spoke of the “decolonization of museums”. However he is not the one one, nor the primary. Whether or not in energy beneath the In style Social gathering or the Socialist Social gathering, Spain encourages, if indirectly funds, rhetoric in opposition to our historical past and tradition, particularly by diplomatic means.

By the way: there isn’t any file of Urtasson holding France accountable for the brutal plundering of Spain on account of Napoleon’s invasion. There was by no means compensation for these crimes, not even an apology.

The grotesques we see in Chavez and Maduro, within the Mexican president generally known as AMLO (who’s of Spanish descent, like Diosdado Cabello), Sheinbaum (who has “Az Turk” surname and pure…) each include a touch of irony. Right here, even when it can’t be felt in writing), Correa (descendant of royalists) and lots of others are nothing greater than merchandise of the Discussion board of São Paulo, the place Fidel Castro and Lula labored laborious of their day to reclaim the left And created this discussion board.

Some naive folks say that Fidel Castro as soon as gave a “Spanish” speech, however the reality is that the tyrant whose regime continues to oppress Cuba is ready to say one factor in these soporific speeches and say the other phrases.

There are additionally naive individuals who say, “A minimum of the left will not deliver us progress,” when the truth is that your complete “woke” agenda has unfold since Castro Chavismo introduced larger glory to caviar The whole African continent left Canada and america for Europe.

As Emilio Acosta stated, “Every time there’s a political battle between the Venezuelan regime and the Spanish authorities, the very first thing the Chavista do is to make use of the anti-Spanish Negro legend to assault the Spanish authorities, However that’s not new, it’s already right here. “of the Spanish monarch. From there they attacked the Spanish royal household, calling it a genocide. Lately, since Edmundo González Urrutía went into exile in Spain, the Spanish Parliament and the European Neighborhood acknowledged him because the elected president of Venezuela , the usage of black legends to assault Spain has reappeared on the facet of Chavismo.”

That is a part of the agenda of those oppressive tyrants who look extra like organized crime bosses than politicians, spitting on their very own historical past and their very own blood. In fact… when it fits them to assert their Spanish origins; Maduro imitates Fidel Castro. By the best way, a Fidel who has all the time despised Chavez and used his superstition and illiteracy to rule him and pillage Venezuela at will.

The actual fact is that initially of the nineteenth century, Spanish America was a lot wealthier than the newly impartial 13 Colonies. Our America is neither poor nor uneducated, regardless of the mythology of black legend insisting on this.

Amongst different issues, america took a really completely different path as a result of it all the time had very clear concepts of territorial enlargement and unity, in addition to a robust sense of property.

Within the Hispanic world, we’ve gone in the other way, fragmenting the unified territory, leaving European Spain remoted within the far west, whereas the Hispanic American continent is split and indebted to forces that lurk like vultures. Search revenue.

And Spain is now simply one other part within the ideological machine of the São Paulo Discussion board, one of the crucial brutal types of ideological imperialism. Stirring separatism in Spain and indigenism in america, these actions didn’t stop to share relationships primarily based on hatred, however in the end hatred of themselves; this led to actual social schizophrenia on either side of the Atlantic.

The Black Legend isn’t “just for Spain”; it’s “just for Spain”. That is propaganda geared toward destroying our tradition and values ​​and every little thing that unites us, beginning with a language that has been extra American than actually European for the reason that 18th century.

As Quito historian Francisco Núñez del places it, they need to deprive us of a lot of Spain in america and far of america in Spain, in addition to the magnificent cultural fusion that’s nonetheless energetic, which is a sensible and genuine Atlanticism. Just like the civilizations that united the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Pacific, that is the essence of the West.

We will turn out to be a implausible, decisive geopolitical bloc, however the extra we’re separated from our homeland and the much less we perceive what unites us, the better it’s for tyranny to prevail.

Chavismo and its minions will due to this fact proceed to make use of hatred of Spain as a political weapon. They’ve a really clear agenda. The query is whether or not these of us who oppose this wave of (self-)destruction possess this potential. To do that, a tradition warfare should be waged, as a result of so long as the “cultural world” continues to be dominated by the identical folks on many fronts, there may be no actual political victory.
