A Nuremberg for Castro-Chavismo

Fortunately for humanity, the Allies of World War II—the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union—agreed at the end of the conflict to prosecute the Nazi leadership. Regardless of the sanctions received by the war criminals, this was very useful in demonstrating the perversity of the proposals championed by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Perhaps the widespread repudiation of fascism and Nazism is a direct consequence of an international judicial process in which, apart from the insanity of the perpetrators, the malevolence of the ideologies they promoted was exposed. Consequently, it has been a shame that the countries that suffered under Soviet power did not initiate a process that acknowledged the horrendous significance of having been subjugated by the symbolic hammer and sickle.

It is incomprehensible that the evil of communism is not regularly equated with that of Nazism; both ideologies share the most horrendous criminal record in contemporary history.

The first, although he only had twelve years in power, has a horrifying record; it is terrifying to imagine what extremes the sadism of the Holocaust and the cruelty of the Gestapo and the SS would have reached if he had had more time. Meanwhile, Marxism, with all its imaginable variations, has been preying on humanity for more than a century without that practice shameing those who maintain complicit silence in the face of so many atrocities in order to obtain benefits.

People, who, as the writer José Antonio Albertini says, choose to remain silent in the face of the endless abuses of a doctrine responsible for the death of more than one hundred million human beings, subjects who favor the elites who commit numerous abuses under the pretext of using as an argument a justice that they have never been willing to apply.

If the victims of Marxism have not been able to publicize the countless violations of a utopia that has only brought death and devastation, then we, the victims of Castro-Chavismo, should come together and produce a document based on the London Charter of 1945, which establishes the principles and procedures to follow against Castro-Chavista proposals and those who governed in the name of that failed fundamentalism.

We must bear in mind that the criminal synopsis of Castro-Chavismo presents numerous murders, spurious judicial processes, countless disappearances, extrajudicial crimes, unlawful imprisonments, expulsion of populations, systematic violations of citizens' rights, forced expropriation of property, embezzlement and massive acts of corruption, intentional destruction of public property and many other abuses that would make this relationship very cumbersome and, moreover, very similar to Nazi fascism and communism.

The upcoming trial of Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan despot imprisoned in the United States, could serve as a guide for a process in which he is judged for his depredations, as well as being one of the leading exponents of a form of government characterized by systematic abuses against the population, crimes and destruction of a nation's heritage, as well as participation in transgressions against humanity and peace, and for his close criminal association with Hugo Chavez, Fidel and Raul Castro, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, Evo Morales and Rafael Correa.

Each of the aforementioned individuals and their collaborators should be subjected to judicial processes in which their actions are analyzed in detail and sanctions, at least moral ones, are issued in cases where appropriate due to the deaths of the accused, always bearing in mind that all these individuals and their accomplices, such as Diosdado Cabello and Miguel Diaz Canel, part of a very extensive list, have been instigators and co-authors of various forms of organized crime, including drug trafficking.

It is true that there are no precedents in our hemisphere for judicial actions of this type, but there were none for the Nuremberg Trials either; however, the need for a universal warning to predators made it possible, to the point that its methods have been used in other criminal prosecutions such as those in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and served as a basis for establishing the Rome Statute that created the International Criminal Court, whose lack of action against Nicolas Maduro has been criticized by broad sectors of the Venezuelan opposition.
