Introduction
Cuba and Venezuela, two nations marked by decades of authoritarian regimes, have developed a system of social control based on hate and shamelessness. These tactics, aimed at dividing and oppressing the population, have created an environment where truth, justice, and decency are constantly under threat. In this context, the people face the difficult task of resisting without succumbing to complicity with the oppressive system, while also considering that only an external military intervention or a well-coordinated internal organization may bring about real change.
Chapter 1: Understanding the Creation of Accomplices
The regimes in Cuba and Venezuela not only use fear to control their citizens but also employ psychological techniques to turn victims into accomplices. Through emotional manipulation and the exploitation of economic needs, these governments create a support network that allows them to remain in power.
In situations of extreme need, like those experienced by many citizens in Cuba and Venezuela, the regime offers small concessions in exchange for unconditional loyalty. This corrupt exchange exploits people's desperation, making them complicit in the system that oppresses them.
This type of manipulation turns victims into defenders of the regime, perpetuating the cycle of oppression. Some even develop a sort of "Stockholm syndrome," where they justify and defend the very regime that oppresses them.
Chapter 2: Peaceful Resistance, Necessary but Limited Against Such a System
In the authoritarian regimes of Cuba and Venezuela, where shamelessness and hatred toward the people are state policies, peaceful resistance emerges as the primary tool of resistance. Based on principles of decency, truth, and justice, this form of struggle aims to delegitimize the oppressive power and mobilize the population. However, while necessary and effective in some contexts, it faces serious limitations in systems where shamelessness and impunity are not only tolerated but promoted.
One of the greatest limitations of peaceful resistance in these regimes is the role of the system’s accomplices. Psychologically manipulated, these individuals act with extreme shamelessness and unconditional loyalty to the supreme leader, defending the government at any cost. Their fanaticism and lack of ethics make them central obstacles to resistance, as they perpetrate acts of repression and corruption without remorse, weakening the social fabric and making popular mobilization difficult.
While peaceful resistance is morally superior and essential for maintaining dignity in a repressive environment, the reality is that in a system where impunity and shamelessness are the norm, it may not be sufficient to dismantle the established power. The brutality of the regime and the control it exerts over its accomplices limit the reach of nonviolent actions, making it clear that peaceful resistance, though indispensable, needs to be complemented with other forms of struggle that can effectively confront these challenges.
Chapter 3: External Force as the Ultimate Solution
When peaceful resistance and internal efforts to dismantle an oppressive regime meet insurmountable limitations, external intervention may be seen as the last viable option. In contexts like those of Cuba and Venezuela, where the government has managed to perpetuate its power through psychological manipulation, repression, and absolute control of resources, the population faces a system so closed and resistant to change that internal alternatives seem insufficient. The regime's unwillingness to yield to the people's demands and the accomplices’ ability to quash any dissent makes external intervention an extreme but necessary measure to restore freedom and justice.
External intervention can manifest in various forms, from diplomatic and economic pressure by the international community to direct support for internal resistance movements. However, in situations where the regime has shown a brutal capacity to repress and demobilize the opposition, the option of military intervention, whether by an international coalition or allied forces, may be considered. This type of intervention, though controversial and fraught with risks, might be the only effective way to dismantle a system deeply rooted in corruption and violence. History has shown that in some cases, only external force has succeeded in breaking the control of totalitarian regimes, as occurred in certain Eastern European countries during the Cold War.
However, external intervention is not without challenges and consequences. National sovereignty, humanitarian costs, and regional stability are aspects that must be carefully considered. The entry of foreign forces into an internal conflict can lead to an escalation of violence, cause significant collateral damage, and generate resentment among the local population. Additionally, post-intervention reconstruction and the establishment of a legitimate and functional government are complex tasks that require a long-term commitment from the international community. Despite these challenges, in situations where the regime has closed all avenues for a peaceful transition and continues to oppress its people with impunity, external force may represent the only real hope for liberation and the restoration of human dignity.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while peaceful resistance remains a powerful and necessary tool in the fight against authoritarian regimes, its effectiveness is limited by the presence of accomplices who, without shame, defend the regime at the expense of the people. These individuals, turned into instruments of oppressive power, represent a formidable challenge that requires new strategies and a deeper understanding of the dynamics of power and resistance. Confronting institutionalized shamelessness and breaking the unconditional loyalty of these accomplices is an arduous but essential task for the liberation of peoples subjected to oppression.
The author argues that the only viable solution to break the cycle of corruption and shamelessness that oppresses the people in Cuba and Venezuela is military intervention, which would allow for the restoration of freedom and democracy in both countries.
