The Gaddafi Paradigm: Our dim chance of survival against World Fascism

For global
workers movements to become radical is firmly and decisively, with
clear
emancipatory principles, to grasp any historical problem at its roots.
For example,
it is to tackle the current global fascism at its very radix, that is,
at its
transgenetic roots, and to eradicate it together with all the
economic, political, social, military and alienating conditions which
have brought it about. Because capitalism exists, it is tangible,
man made and planetary. Hence, organized workers creative power, that
is, its
'superation' (transcendence) could annihilate it globally, not only in
Libya or Venezuela, but everywhere.
Independent of different appearance forms, the very existence of past
varieties of national fascism, or 'national socialism' ... in
individual States like Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and
elsewhere ... and of present global fascism, which is being
spearheaded nationally and internationally by the 'Empire', by the USA,
its allies and military wing, NATO, is the scientific verification that
a dramatic class struggle is raging on a planetary level. In the past
two centuries, as a dialectical rule, violent, repressive regimes,
including fascism, were preceded by huge workers class struggles which
were suppressed brutally. Although these proletarian battles failed,
they did
change the correlation of the contending class forces; the uprisings
of the workers, supported by some middle class sectors, scared
the hell out of the bourgeoisie, everywhere its
political reaction was the launching of fascist terrorism by
State order.
The question is: why did scores of promising global proletarian revolts
and revolutions fail or stagnate and were eventually nipped in the bud
by capitalist, imperialist fascism?
The answer is very simple: Most of them were heroic, do merit our honor
and solidarity, but they were not radical enough, were not radically
anti-capitalist, in a few words, they were not modern Marxist
emancipatory movements. They did not (perhaps could not) transcend the
closed capitalist world order. Surely, much has been said and
criticized with reference to this tragic
state of affairs which has now become a gigantic global problem of
possible human existence on planet Earth. Currently Venezuela and
Libya, soon Syria and Pakistan, will have to try to get out of this
fascist maelstrom, whirlpool of international fascist terror.
As a brief commentary, we will just highlight some of the errors
committed by the Libyan leadership vis-a-vis world fascism in
Africa. However, much is also valid for other
'failed societies' which form 'the axis of evil' and which merit 'full
spectrum dominance' and 'military humanism'.
At the moment, it is the unfortunate turn of Palestine, Libya and
Bahrain, but
other countries like Syria, Zimbabwe or Pakistan will soon follow.
South Africa, whose some 50 million inhabitants have experienced
decades of fascism, of apartheid, is now a trustworthy ally ally of
United States imperialism in Africa. However, it should learn from the
Libyan catastrophe.
Now, concerning global fascism, what did Colonel Gaddafi and his
government under-estimate?
President Muammar Gaddafi of Libya is learning the hard way to
understand what is capitalism, socialism, globalization, fascism and
emancipation.
* One should not betray one's revolutionary daydreams of youth by
declaring them as 'juvenile sins'. Currently Colonel
Gaddafi is the longest-governing leader in the Arab and African worlds;
he rules Libya since the age of 27, when
he
and his comrades got rid of the repressive King Idris I in a
bloodless coup. One thing is clear now: Gaddafi lives and dies an
important lesson: the Gaddafi Paradidm: no matter what may be the case,
as an emancipator, one always has to give his very life in defense of
his people, of his comrades-in-arms.
In the sixties of the 20th century,
on the waves of the African anti-colonial revolutions, Gaddafi launched
his
Green Revolution. This occurred during the epoch of African national
liberation, of the development from African nationalism, to
Pan-Africanism, to African Socialism.
* In spite of the heroic efforts of Kwame Nkrumah, the then president
of Ghana, in the praxical, theoretical and military fields, the above
three forces got stuck in ideological lip service, in so-called
anti-imperialism, which was severed from true anti-capitalism, as
dialectical negation, as scientific, philosophic socialism, as
emancipatory Marxism. The Organization of African Unity lost the idea
that unity must be based on principles and degenerated into the current
toothless African Union.
* Like in the rest of Africa, in all her revolutions, also in Libya
anti-imperialism, in realityy, pro-capitalism was and still is
devouring the social emancipatory fruits of bloody class struggles. In
fact, cum grano salis, today all African States, except the five,
including Libya, which refused to accept the Africom of NATO, are on
the track of globalization, of the Second Conquest, the final Scramble
for Africa, of global fascism.
* Among the grievous errors of the government of Libya are the
following: if you are swimming on an ocean of oil and fresh water, you
must know that no matter how you try to escape in the end the Orwellian
bloody NATO army boots will come for you: hence prepare yourself with
the coming gigantic class struggle;
*President Gaddafi, alone never ever you have the slightest chance of
victory if you collaborate with corporate imperialism. Also, Colonel,
in principle, we cannot sign Hitler - Stalin Pacts of 1939, secret
´gentlemen agreements' with your powerful class enemy, we should
not run across Europe to hunt for fair weather friendships, to organize
'peace talks' and senseless 'dialogues'. Those 'friends' are just
waiting for the right moment to nail you and your family on the cross
of 'terrorism', of drug-dealing, trafficking of human organs and
massacring your people.
* The capitalist world order only allow change from within, it is a
jail, a closed system. Within we could carry out rainbow revolutions,
white, red and green ones. Revolution, the invincible arm of the power
elites, is the guarantee that anti-capitalism can never realize itself,
we have to come up with better ideas than ideology or revolution.
* Comrade Ghaddafi, to err is human, thus, in the name of the
invaluable contributions that you have made for the sake of African
emancipation, please remember that one does not kill the poisonous
African black mamba serpent with its own venom, there are very
effective ways to accomplish such a democratic mission. Also, if you
are not one second, one millimeter ahead of your class enemies, then
your chance of survival is infinitesimal.
Summing up, we live in the age of global fascism. All over, we could
see, could sense and experience its mortal pangs and fangs. Big Brother
states: You are free to criticize me, but never try to do it. Freedom
is Slavery. Peace is War. Lies are Truths. All over Friend-Enemy
relations, anti-Marxism, anti-Communism. Scape-Goats, workers fiendish
regimes, lawlessness, elimination of habeas corpus, the rule of law,
etc. pave the highway towards the total, totalitarian, authoritarian
Corporeal and Mental Holocaust, to Barbarism.
Capitalism has a Janus-head; under 'normal' peaceful conditions, with
relative economic stability, a low level of workers' struggles, in
times of boom and bonanza, it is called Democracy. On the other hand,
in times of severe economic crises, great depression, political
upheaval, social unrest and violent class struggle, capitalism becomes
savage, shows its true fascist snarl, its war mongrel face. Its
functions are the destruction of the labor movement, of workers trade
unions, of the 'left organizations, of Marxists. Furthermore, as a mass
movement fascism controls the workers ideologically , conditioning them
with aggressive political propaganda, slogans, racism and
'friend-enemy' and 'scape-goat' relations. It also introduces the
'Fuehrer' principle, the messianic great leader, the idea of a 'chosen
people', a belief in a Herrenvolk, a master race and other machinations
of mass psychology.The main functions of fascism are the defense
and preservation of the bourgeois, capitalist, economic relations, of
private property of the means of production. It is a huge campaign to
save the dominant global system at all costs. Fascism tries to save the
imperialist system from total collapse. Only when we know the above
could we begin to eradicate fascism for ever, but time and space are
running out -- our dim chances of survival are diminishing at the speed
of scalar waves.
