The fascist we all carry inside




For a fascist to win the presidency of a country, millions of fascists are needed, who in times of democracy end up giving it their vote to a right-wing extremist. Because one thing is a bloody dictatorship and another is that millions of people by their own will vote for a fascist and make him president.
The fascist we all carry inside

The name of the fascist is the least, we are surrounded by them, we are them: we all have a fascist in our families, friends, acquaintances, coworkers, in our community, we ourselves have something fascist. Do not? Let's see ourselves in a mirror. Let us have the guts and responsibility to take charge of what we are and what we represent: what we nurture. Because we and only we are the ones who maintain this current system.

By overlapping any type of violence, no matter how minimal, by feeding stereotypes, by that ego that does not fit in our chest, by the effrontery of overlapping instead of denouncing and provoking a change, no matter how small. For comfortable and defend our little fantasy bubble of a comfortable stability and with that attack those who put the spine so we can fuck everything with our colonized minds.

We are sexist, misogynist, patriarchal; we are racists to die, classists like only ourselves, there is no one to win us, homophobic and; it is very easy that with that kind of mediocrity a representative of the far right arrives and ignites us the hatred of a spark and we get rid with everything thinking like good idiots that the harmed ones will be others.

Then we point out: the fault lies with the poor who allow themselves to be manipulated by the media: when we know that the worker, the one who works from sunrise to sunset or to television or radio arrives, he barely has enough time to eat a day. it's going

I, the oppressed, forgive him everything, because he has not had a single opportunity in life and has tried to seek it, but he is responsible for a vote to fascism to those who have had access to education, who have formed their own criteria and have been able to discern and that still votes to fuck the one below. These people deserve life imprisonment: for traitors and inhuman.

There are scientific, psychological and political explanations, we are good at blaming others. There are those who in the case of Brazil have blamed the governments of Lula and Dilma, but what can 15 years of democracy do to 500 years of oppression? The struggle is monumental, in 15 years they can not solve the problems of centuries not decades. This is a long process in which we must all contribute. We have to uproot the root and the root is a patriarchal and misogynist system primarily.

Did they fail? And if they failed why there was so much life in Brazil in 15 years? What happens is that they were ungrateful to those who fed them.

We blame the interventionists, but the interference can come but if people do not sell, if people have integrity and respect and love for their people there is no one to open the door from within to let them pass. The fault is not the interventionists, the absolute responsibility is those who sell their people from within. Let's stop blaming Trump, it's comfortable to blame to disengage from our responsibilities. Trump is a mortal like us, Bolsonaros are full the streets.

Until we take responsibility for our own actions, for what we overlap and for what we nurture, Latin America and the world will not change. There is a fascist in each of us, some are more visible than others but DNA has it. What will we do about it? Keep blaming others? To the media? The interventionists? To the poor? We are poor: in spirit, guts and brain.
