Indigenism, a mimicry of narcoterrorism

In: A draft sequence of the Neanderthal genome, biologist Robert Green has shown that interbreeding is the rule and not the exception in the development of humanity.

The first stage of evolution occurred through interbreeding between Homo sapiens and other hominins, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. These interbreedings were crucial for our ancestors' survival against diseases and natural plagues. Subsequently, using recent genetic evidence and anthropological perspectives, the author concludes that all modern humans are of mixed ancestry, as our ancestors survived thanks to two factors: sexual interbreeding with other groups and migration.

Similarly, beyond important genetic studies, anthropology, history, and economics demonstrate that contact between peoples has been necessary for building roads, trade routes, and economic development. Therefore, any position that speaks of "native peoples" and "pure races" is nothing more than pseudoscientific charlatanism.

With all the evidence, someone perceiving themselves as "indigenous" or "native" falls into the realm of self-perception fantasy, much like men who believe they are women or therians. If it all remained private, there wouldn't be a major problem, but the left used all that rhetoric to construct a myth around Evo Morales, Felipe Quispe, and other thugs.

The idea was to present this horde of violent criminals as "liberators" of the Bolivian indigenous people, although later the narrative spread to Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

But along with this remastered version of the Noble Savage came the defense of the coca leaf. Another fantasy that elevated coca fields to the status of sacred and ancient. The objective was none other than to justify illegal coca plantations in the Chapare region of Cochabamba and the VRAEN of Peru.

It's a joint venture where left-wing ideologues construct the narratives and drug traffickers act as financing partners and a destabilizing force. Nothing new, since Nikita Khrushchev, in the 1960s, had already proposed the necessary alliance between socialist forces and common criminals.

21st-century socialism has seized power in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Furthermore, with Cuba's support, it has created a network of states that sponsor crime and drug trafficking. These criminal groups, in their quest to maintain power, amend constitutions, commit electoral fraud, and murder without hesitation; Fernando Villavicencio in Ecuador and Miguel Uribe Turbay in Colombia are their most recent victims.

In Bolivia, the government of Rodrigo Paz, which opted for gradualism in the economy and a lukewarm approach to security, is besieged by violent gangs affiliated with 21st Century Socialism. These groups, much like Pablo Escobar did in Colombia in the 1980s, have managed to force the government to draft decrees tailored to their whims, blackmail, and demands.

We Bolivians—you, me, and everyone—are in danger. Our nation faces its greatest challenge, because if we cannot restore republican order, we are doomed to become the new headquarters of transnational crime.

21st-century socialism is a leprosy that all people of good will are obligated to combat. This task begins by unmasking criminal concepts like indigenism, which is nothing more than a front for narco-terrorism.
