South America’s resurgent left is a threat to liberty

Since my arrival in this hospitable country in May 2005, I have been
trying to explain to Americans that Lula would never be able — much less
willing — to help them to stop Hugo Chavez. I have spread this obvious
truth in lectures delivered to audiences of politicians, journalists,
strategical analysts and intelligence experts. Though some of them agree
with me, the prevalent opinion remains unaltered: Lula is America’s best
hope in Latin America. Even now that attorney-general Alberto Gonzales had
to swallow an explicit refusal from the Brazilian government to serve as a
muzzle for the Venezuelan mad dog, nobody from Washington has admitted
that the Brazilian fruitcake hidden somewhere in the Virginian brushwood
was right after all.
I have been explaining, in a more general way, that Lula would never help
the Americans to do anything against the Latin-American radical Left, and
especially not against the FARC, the Colombian narcoguerrillas who inject
huge annual amounts of cocaine into both the Brazilian and American
markets. As to the many Muslim terrorists sheltered in the Brazilian
southern border, there is no need to say that the Brazilian government
will not support any action against them: it does not even recognize that
they exist.
Lula is the founder and one of the masterminds of the “Sao Paulo Forum” (I
will call it the SPF), the strategic headquarters of the Latin-American
revolutionary Left. The SPF, which gathers both legal parties and criminal
organizations, is stronger than any singular Latin-American government, if
we take into account that it has at its service dozens of terrorist gangs
and the armies of the countries governed by its member-parties. The
Brazilian army, reduced to tatters since the Latin-American
demilitarization campaign inaugurated thirty years ago under the personal
guidance of president Jimmy Carter, is unable to face a single branch of
the SPF, such as the FARC, and much less the SPF as a whole.
The Brazilian military is now so deeply conscious of its own weakness that
its old anti-communist pride is giving way to opportunistic accommodations
with the radical Left, using “nationalism” ( i.e. bitter anti-Americanism)
as common ground for their unholy alliance (you cannot imagine the amount
of military hate I have been attracting against myself for writing about
this). Lula, Lula’s party, and Lula’s government are nothing without the
support of the SPF, both domestically and in Latin America.
In 1990, Lula created that organization while facing near ruin in his
political career. And later on he became a successful politician with the
help of the FSP. If he betrays it, he will not stay alive for five seconds.
In order to evaluate the depth of Lula’s party commitment to the SPF and
to its self-proclaimed goal of “reconquering in Latin America all that was
lost in Eastern Europe,” you should only read these lines of the message
sent by the FARC to the SPF’s 13th general assembly, which took place in
San Salvador last January 7th:
In 1990 the socialist field was falling apart; all its structures were as
weak as a castle of cards, and the enemies of socialism were celebrating
nonstop. Theories like “the End of History” were being proposed, and many
revolutionaries around the world were astonished, not knowing what had
gone wrong and enabled such a catastrophe. Utopia was being dissipated and
hopelessness took over innumerable movement leaders.
Cuba stood alone, enduring the worst crisis ever experienced by any other
country. Imperialism wrongly believed that the moment had come to put an
end to socialism in the Americas… It was in that moment that the PT
(Lula’s Workers’ Party) launched the formidable proposal to create the Sao
Paulo Forum… This initiative, which quickly caught on, was a lifesaver and
a hope that not everything was lost. How right we were! Sixteen years have
passed and the political scene today is totally different.
In short: the communist movement was drowning, the Workers'’Party — Lula’s
party — saved it, and did it under Lula’s personal inspiration. Every
single one of the SPF member parties agrees with that statement. No matter
how much the World Economic Forum may praise him for his alleged
“conversion to capitalism,” Lula is a hero of Latin-American communism and
will not exchange this title for that of a dead traitor.
There is no substantial contradiction between running a capitalist economy
while draining its energies to feed a growing communist movement and to
support the arrangements for a continental “war of the whole people”
against the USA, as planned by Hugo Chavez. Lula’s government can be
defined, alas, by that two-headed strategy wisely grounded on the mutual
independence between economy and conspiracy.
Now that George W. Bush prepares to visit his so-called good friend in
Brasilia next March 8th, the good friend’s party and his many allies in
the radical Left prepare to receive the American president with the
largest and harshest anti-American manifestation ever seen in Brazil. In
the privacy of his cabinet at the presidential residence in Brasilia, Lula
will play America’s friend while his own subordinates and followers will
be right outside the palace shouting “death to Yankee imperialism.” George
W. Bush will do his best to pretend that the protests come from Lula's
foes. I hope he does not seriously believe it.
Olavo de Carvalho, 59, is a Brazilian writer and philosopher presently
living in the U.S. as a foreign correspondent for Brazilian newspapers. A
former university lecturer on Political Philosophy in São Paulo, Rio de
Janeiro and Parana, he is the author of a dozen books and a widely read
weekly columnist in Brazilian press
Editor: The thuggish Chavez also has his totalitarian-minded admirers in
the Australian media, e.g., the odious Philip Adams, a columnist for
Murdoch's Australian, and Kenneth ‘Chomsky’ Davidson, a columnist for The
Age. Davidson asserted in all seriousness that “[t]here is no doubt about
the democratic bona fides of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez” (The Age, The pricey
well-oiled military superpower, 11 August 2005). He has not seen fit to
revise his opinion.
