The Machines of Ideological War in the Electoral Processes?

They promise that they will solve problems that will correct inequalities that will banish hunger, malnutrition and poverty. They promise to cut taxes, open more schools, improve salaries, build hospitals, roads, dams and "first world" infrastructure. They swear that they will be indefatigable, that there will be no despotism, authoritarianism, sectarianism or privileges for friends or family. Tears are torn for the country, for the republic, for the laws and for "good manners" and blah, blah, blah. All that mounted on the no legal structure that forces them to render accounts for every lie uttered and every premeditated fallacy. "By the deceit they have dominated us more than by force" said Simón Bolívar. Today includes cheating with "trolls", "bots" ... and all kinds of "social networks".
The Machines of Ideological War in the Electoral Processes?

It is not an "art of genius", deceiving the people is an industry of capitalism, very profitable, designed to win votes - as it may - thanks to mafia ambushes that "naturalize" criminal behaviors as if they were immaculate moral garments . They make a certain "common sense" full of lies disguised as "electoral processes" where cheating, impudently, seems to be "quality" of "politicians". A "merit" of modernity ... an achievement of stupidity. But it's really a crime ... it's a fraud.

Electoral systems and processes, with their laws and regulations, their "understood values" and their traditions ... (which have nothing naive) have allowed a series of media perversions designed by "experts" to pass as "democratic" the lies of the "candidates" oligarchs their parties and their cronies. We have filled the pages of history with deceptions of all kinds, especially with the spit of "political" language that, to "win the trust" of the voters, deploy all kinds of tricks and fallacies. And all that legalized and naturalized by the strength of the business implicit in selling political campaigns outside the most basic ethics. Another chapter is the crime against humanity that consists of promising the fulfillment of tasks that are never fulfilled or that are fulfilled contrary to what was promised. "We will strengthen the economy", "we will defend employment", "we will guarantee health", "we will improve education", "we will guarantee housing" and blah, blah, blah, blah. Never a court specialized in crimes of electoral deceits, frauds or betrayals at home. Never a tool of justice for the people who watch parading before their eyes and their ears the nauseating string of electoral verbiage designed corruptly for serial deception. Crime with premeditation, treachery and advantage. Without mitigating
 
Millions of dollars spend political campaigns. They make up electoral opportunism with propagated gadgets, happy faces, glamorous poses. Almost never ideas and less real work. The urgent thing, for them, is to add votes, later a salary will come and for the masses the oblivion. It's about selling illusions. Plague cities with posters, flyers, television ads, radio, journalistic. Saturate how much space is available to their sponsors, (their employers), to appear renewed and resuscitate from their mediocrity, fresh, memoryless ... newborns ... go around the world reciting solutions that presume to know and can apply in a flash. They say they can do everything, they want everything for the people, everything in exchange for votes, votes, many votes. Campaigns based on ostentatious media displays are often repetitions of the same, of poor quality and little information: ambiguous phrases, bombastic auctions and ignorance of real and urgent problems in everyday life. They invest obscene sums. For example, Odebrecht

There are scandals of irregular financing in England, Germany, France, Spain, Colombia, Brazil; Nicaragua, Peru, Ecuador. It seems that it is frequent and never sanctioned. There are special accounts that are handled in secret to increase the amounts of public presence. Not a few suspect of money contributed by drug dealers and mafias of all kinds. Perhaps the subsistence of the latter depends on certain alliances with those sworn officials. Half of the world's population suffers from poverty and exclusion.

The great beneficiaries of the campaigns, in addition to the bureaucratic apparatuses that pay, are the multimedia monopolies, the advertising agencies and the political marketing studios that reign impudently and impunity in alliances with officials on duty. These campaigns want us to believe that their idea of ​​politics is essential to us, that it is very decent, very timely. They want us to believe that this is democracy, that democracy consists only in voting, that voting is being a "good citizen", "good patriot", vote for others to decide and spend. Especially the ones that advertise the most and then the forgetfulness. Its only basic program is to keep capitalism alive at all costs. And it cost a lot.

As long as this is not overcome from below, we must evaluate and sanction, justice and the defense of democratic votes of truth; evaluate and sanction the interference of media monopolies and the intrusion of bankers, landowners and business bosses. Evaluate and sanction how much they pay and pay to deepen alienation and deform reality to monopolize votes. With clear evidence about the technological asymmetry and the right to electoral tools ... with the irrevocable guarantee of the right to recall referendums in all positions; with foundations towards a new legislation the electoral justice in terms of right and of equal conditions for the participation of all ... a referendum with direct and committed vote that is capable of putting to consideration of all the urgency of a new electoral education well informed, without coercion, without ambushes ... Referendum referendum against every lie and every liar, in short, electoral justice from end to end as an emancipatory tool and as an open window of true democracy.

As we move towards that consensus, product of our organization and our mobilization, with a program of electoral transparency and direct participation of the bases, let's call ourselves to perfect the criticism against all the ideological traps that walk with impunity by all means. This is a problem of national security, as dangerous and threatening as the military bases imposed in our territories.
That never again those who steal, torture, repress, plunder and systematically humiliate a people can be victorious in an election. That never again the one who exhibits with impudity -impune- in the facts, his ideological obscenity, his squanderings, his corruption, his servility, his surrender ... his stupidity, can win the vote of a majority and represent it. Those who are circuses and pranksters, insensitive to popular pain, intoxicated with their "business life" or "official", swollen with fraudulent glories, disfigured by their corrupt mentality, deformed by their ignorance and marked as criminals, criminals and traitors ... all together and in parts can not be chosen. We have thundering cases in sight. All simplistic analysis proves to be unsuccessful.
 
If it is believed that everything resolves a "good photo" and a "good slogan" repeated until the nausea ... if all forms of abuse operate ideologically as fatality for the people and stroke of luck for the "politician" ... in short if the workers are protagonists or drivers of political action, even electorally. What does the voter think of when he votes? As it is fashionable that the "candidates" of the oligarchies do not explain, do not respond, do not postulate ... convictions, programs or plans. (Fashion in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia ...) because it is "trend" in the market of "image engineering". As the pose is styled more than the idea, perhaps in the "modern" logic of the bourgeois bureaucracy the unhappy syllogism thrives: that the voter who does not think is the desired elector. Or better yet, the elector who only thinks what we say he thinks, that is to say nothing, will be the elector most coveted by the strategists of electoral vacuity.

And all that at crazy prices with episodes of unspeakable obscenity at the time when there is no account that comes out if we take stock of electoral "campaigns". The big winners as always are monopolies and television, radio and publishing consortiums that format "official propaganda" or camouflaged with interviews, references or news billed piece by piece in the media mercenary kingdom this time disguised as "democracy". The cost per vote is a slap (another one) to the working class that pays for these circuses the price of being humiliated, despised and robbed by the model of customary political frauds. And they say, some "political scientists" that this is "modern".

The señorones and señoritos who thrive with the electoral processes (officials, publicists, advisors, interviewers, journalists ...) say that the people like to see the "politicians" in contact with reality (but without saying what they will do). with it, what mandate do they obey or how much do they charge for it?) The "scholars" of the vote say that people like the "politician" to debate (but in the television style, with cut-off times, without much entanglement and calculating the advertisements without which in business of the image does not hold ... they say) They say the "heads of campaign", of the oligarchic candidates, that the people vote for the "management" and not for the speech. And they call it management to go out in the photo, on the TV, in the cinemas on public posters ... with their winning smile and their slogan of conjuncture. They say that that is to do "politics". They confuse the people with the "publics".
 
At the bottom of the story the thing is very different. The people vote harassed by a system of pressure first economic-political, with it ideological and media, in which there reigns the omnipresent uncertainty and blackmail, under thousands of everyday pranks and in the swamp of misinformation and manipulation of reality. If there were free and sufficient information, if the communication served to organize us critically and to trust the strength of the workers and not for the individualism and media lynching of the struggles, nobody would think to vote for their executioners even if they disguised themselves as saints or of "good boys". No one would put a vote in exchange for managerial slobs spattered against the history of countless spoils and humiliations. Nobody would vote for the "glamor" campaign or the fetish. No one would put their trust in the historical torturer who has lied, stolen and returned to lie and steal forever. Nobody would allow such farce and fraud, if we could vote freely. Without capitalism. We would only vote for those we know, with us, in struggle shoulder to shoulder, daily and for the good of all. I exaggerate?

A Revolution of Social Justice in the electoral processes is urgent. Before, during and after. Sanctions for those who lie, for those who do not sanction the lies, for what they devise and execute frauds with votes and with promises ... sanctions to the electoral apparatus of the oligarchs for unequal, opaque, rigged and excluding. Sanction for those who allow besieged elections, plagued with threats (even if they are "subtle"), without audits or without ethical protocols managed by the voters. Sanction for the waste and for the censorship ... for the trafficking of fears. Sanctions for those who put their faces in electoral episodes and never return to the bases, for those who do not render reports and for what they disguise as "reporters", commentators or opinólogos to make cloaked propaganda.
