As the US President Donald Trump who
is the malicious product of former US politics since World War II has
begun to change the post war world order rapidly there are coming up
more and more voices of sympathy for Russian activities and the –
in fact – dictator Vladimir Putin.
In my Cosmonomic understanding of the
present world situation both leaders, Trump and Putin, are no friends
of democracy or humanity and they are far away from enlightenment!
Like others as well, they are
nationalistic warmongers and excessive dangers to mankind.
Especially for all western dreamers
about Russia and the “true democrat” Putin (former German
Chancellor and Putin-friend Gerhard Schröder) the following essay
from the Romanian Magazine Contemporary Literary Horizon is
republished here:
Between
Democracy and Tyranny
During
the Second World War, the United States and Great Britain made a
fundamental mistake. They should not have allied themselves with the
Soviet Union to win the war. The cause of the crises that the
contemporary world has been suffering repeatedly lies here. The
totalitarian soviet system should have been left to collapse, while
subsequently the United States and Great Britain, together with the
rest of the world should have defeated Hitler's Germany by a full
economic embargo, which would have ended with the reformation and
then the annihilation of the national socialist regime. Yet, instead
of following this course of action, Churchill and Roosevelt chose to
support the totalitarian soviet regime so that it would survive and
extend throughout all Eastern Europe. They severely weakened Europe
in front of the soviet colossus, with clay feet, true, yet having the
atomic bomb attached to them. The two leaders of the Western world,
who enjoyed discretionary power during the war gave Stalin – and
the Soviet Union – much more global power than they had before.
It
is a well-known fact today, proven by documents, that after the war
the United States were undermined at all levels by crypto-communists
that received their orders from Stalin's office in Kremlin. One could
find them among atomic physicists (Robert Oppenheimer), in Hollywood
(among the great studio owners), in the artistic world, in the trade
unions, and even higher. From the exploitation of the defeated and
occupied countries, Moscow could afford to invest huge sums of money
everywhere in the world. The activity that senator McCarthy undertook
at the beginning of the 50s in order to reveal and eliminate the
crypto-communists on Moscow's payroll from all America's power
structures, which was dubbed by the press of the time “a witch
hunt”, was totally justified and it prevented America's fall under
the domination of the Soviet totalitarianism then embodied by Stalin.
The much maligned McCarthy, even though he may not have been
America's brightest politician, really did a service to the American
people, for which he got no reward, on the contrary.
On
the other hand, in Warsaw as well as in Strasbourg or Brussels no one
wants to talk openly about the more and more obvious fact that Russia
is undergoing a full restoration of the USSR, trying to reconstruct
the socialist camp and even extend its dominion to areas that in the
past were out of its sphere of influence (like, for example, Syria
and less obviously, Cyprus or Greece). And yet a lot was written in
the press about the staged death of the USSR, after the opera coup in
august 1991, with the aim of reviving it in a better shape, without
any serious debate on the subject being organized, at least in order
to be fought with good arguments.
In
Romania the leader from the Parliament Hill, Liviu Dragnea, spoke
many times, not by chance, about the “historical mission” that
the PSD (Social Democratic Party in Romania) would have under his
leadership. I have not heard/read any comment or question that
explained the statement of the PSD leader, but it was probably
thought that everybody got the message. This “historical mission”,
as one can clearly see, is the Restoration that some more naive or
shy authors insist on calling “illiberal democracy”. Illiberal
democracy, indeed! In reality there has never been and will never be
for any society but one clear option between democracy and tyranny,
regardless of the deceiving masks that tyranny is putting on.
Note
The
renowned British writer George Orwell drafted at the end of the 1940s
a list with all the cultural Anglo-American personalities enrolled
among the crypto-communists. There is no surprise that on Orwell's
list there are such names as Charlie Chaplin, Michael Redgrave,
George Bernard Shaw, Orson Welles and others like them. (according to
Wikipedia, “Orwell's list”).
