The ugly horn of fascism by Simon Bocanegra in Tal Cual
Two days ago a small group of people attacked the headquarters of RCTV. Stones, bottles, aggressive shouts and insulting words on the external walls of the TV station were the heroic weapons of that heroic day. Inside, the workers lived moments of fear and anguish. Was that an announcement of new and larger attacks? This small journalist does not know if the guys went there on their own or were sent. Bit that is irrelevant even if the Government denied its responsibility; it cannot avoid its intellectual authorship. That attack and a direct consequence of the brutal and trouble making language that I the Supreme uses each time he refers to the topic of Canal 2 (RCTV). In the fascist like atmosphere of “order, our commander, that we will obey”, the “command” that stoned Radio Caracas TV was following explicit orders. Do the direct aggressors and their political leaders think about the men and women cornered at the headquarters of the TV station, fearing worse things may happen? Socialism owes itself to high and noble ideals. Are those them? Bullying people, insulting them, stoning them and using violence against them? No. Those are the anti-values of fascism.
