1/ A project: to stop using country names as culprits. I will elaborate on this.

Today, it's mostly accepted among folks on the "democratic side of the picture" (I'll get back to nomenclature later) to use "Russia" or "the Russians" as a synonym for

2/ "agents from the Russian government" or "political agents from Russia". Let me start with something shocking: we, the folks on the only right side of the picture in Latin America during the 1960s and 1970s referred to "the Americans" or "the USA" as the "great historical evil"

3/ Why? Because the American government, after WWII, actually financed the local political agents that DESTROYED our countries. The American government was the headquarters of the global RIGHT WING.

4/ And the American government, together with also American other social and economic agents, were the driving force towards totalitarian rule, death, torture and environmental destruction.

5/ Does that sound familiar? Because it is: it's everything the Russian GOVERNMENT (which is inseparable from its Transnational Criminal Organization, the Bratva) is doing now. This musical chair game between the USA and Russia did take us by surprise.

6/ The lesson to be learned here is to stop demonizing RUSSIA. Russia is a beautiful, magnificent and mysterious place made of a myriad of lost Nations, just like the New World. Some of the most amazing contributions to Humanity came from that place.

7/ Humanity has ONE enemy: the global far-right. At this moment, it controls the American government AND the Russian government. But it would be equally wrong to say "Russia is the enemy" as to say "the USA are the enemy".

8/ They both qualify. Actually, the Russian people suffer much more while trying to resist totalitarianism and install a democratic government than the American people. If you like the term #resister, please appreciate what resistance means in Russia.

9/ Brazil is not bad. But the Brazilian right-wing is possibly one of the worse in the planet. It must be completely destroyed. It will be extremely hard to do it because they control the Armed Forces. It will be violent.

10/ But Brazil isn't "criminal" or "evil": it's far-right is. Enough for me to say that nothing short of DESTRUCTION can save that beautiful place.

11/ What about Germany? Is Germany evil because the context was right, technologically speaking, for its far-right to almost destroy the world between the 1930's and 1945? Absolutely not.

12/ Absolutely not. You probably don't know this but "we" (the traditional Left) thought that the first country to "move on" (long story) to socialism would be Germany - not Russia. And the USSR was important to all of us (I bet you don't know that either).

13/ It's time to see what the Nation-states really are: an artificial construct whose population is held under the illusion of unity through Nationalism. It's time to get over this illusion and see, with all its blood and destructive power, the true enemy: the global far-right.

14/ "Evangelicals" are not a religion anymore. "Evangelicals" are a powerful tool of the GLOBAL far right. It must be totally destroyed. There are strategies for that. Many. And they must all be adopted.
