As an Uruguayan this gives me a weird feeling. The dictatorship regime here started cause "the need to quash communist terrorists" called MLN or Tupamaros at the time they where revolutionaries at the time but they served more as an excuse, even the Che Guevara warned them at the time. The military repression and overthrow techniques where learnt in the school of americas that now goes by a different name. And you can see how the parallelism happens in the whole region. The scene is very alike and one would dare to think shit gonna be sadly worse on such an influential country. If anything in time you'll learn the meaning of the phrase
Nunca más...
Por desgracia, hablar en .world sobre el papel que han tenido los Estados Unidos en la propagación y financiación del fascismo en todo el mundo te va a acarrear acusaciones de "tankie". La mayoría de usuarios de .world son yanquis anticomunistas que van a aprobar toda represión contra los "radicales comunistas", tachándoles de autoritarios o de pro-Rusos. Como cantaba Carlos Puebla:
"Nada de viejos partidos, colorado y blanco: la nueva esperanza dice Tupamaros, Tupamaros!"
Translation? I used a translated app.
Unfortunately, speaking on .world about the role the United States has played in spreading and financing fascism around the world will earn you accusations of being a "tankie." Most .world users are anti-communist Yankees who will approve of any repression against "communist radicals," labeling them authoritarian or pro-Russian. As Carlos Puebla sang: "No more old parties, red and white: the new hope says Tupamaros, Tupamaros!"
Yup, pretty spot-on. Thank you for translation
Que hagan lo que quieran yo se bien quien soy y lo que creo. Seguiran caminando hacia ese destino mientras miran tik toks en su cel. Yendo a lo nuestro. Entiendo las ideas tupamaras aunque no las comparto del todo. Te soy sincero creo que aun seguimos teniendo muchas ideas acancronicas Marx Lennin Keynes y todos esos podrán haber tenido un montón de ideas base pero ni a ganchos se imaginaban el mundo que hoy tenemos, hasta te diría que ni Michelini ni Seregni tenian idea lo mas cerca a una idea clara que tenemos a mano es Grompone la verdad. Por eso y por varias razones creo que el capitalismo ni el comunismo funcionan. Te diria que en general creo en el anarquismo y socialismo moderno capaz. Pero siendo claros es mas cosas como el solarpunk, estructuras horizontales, un gobierno del tamaño correcto con servicios publicos y claras ademas de solidas regulaciones, impuestos a la riqueza, distribución equitativa. No es una idea de como manejar un pais sino varias que se aplican bien a diferentes aspectos de la sociedad.
Entiendo muy bien tu posición, y hasta cierto punto la comparto. Si te gustan las estructuras horizontales, me leí un libro que se llama "People's Republic of Walmart" hablando de las posibilidades de una economía planificada pero descentralizada y horizontal, me parece un concepto tremendo de cara al futuro, y siendo de América Latina seguro que también te interesa el proyecto Cybersyn de planificación computerizada de la economía que intentó llevar a cabo Allende antes de que le asesinasen los Estados Unidos y Pinochet. Mi problema principal con las regulaciones, impuestos a la riqueza y la distribución equitativa es que no he visto ejemplos históricos de países en los que se haya podido llevar eso a cabo sin que te den un golpe de estado fascista, por ejemplo una vez más el Chile de Allende.
Yyy por algo es... Igualmente no significa que sea una mala idea, hay paises que lo tienen y creo funciona. Es mas te diría que habria que tener un standard internacional del impuesto, nada de ir a esconder la guita a las Islas Cayman Suiza o en algunos casos Uruguay 🤦♂️.
Interesante la recomendación del libro muchas gracias.
