The Latin American intelligentsia was ready to repel the Anglo-Saxons who had taken over the continent at the cost of their lives and on the basis of liberation theology, said philosopher, political scientist and leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergei Kurginyan on August 9 in the program “Conversation with a Wise Man” on Star radio.
He noted that the people of Venezuela, like other Latin American countries, had been crushed and plundered by the Spanish for a long time. When Spanish rule began to weaken, the country was liberated thanks to the efforts of local intellectuals: primarily the forces led by Simon Bolivar.
Bolívar, nicknamed the Liberator, assumed the presidency of the State of Colombia, which then included Venezuela, present-day Colombia with Panama and Ecuador.
When the Anglo-Saxons came to Latin America after the liberation from Spain and Portugal, it turned out that the situation was even worse than under the Spanish, Sergei Kurginyan stressed. Then the famous term “gringo” arose in the region – “greens, go away.”
“Then the Latins realized that as disgusting as the Spaniards were, the Anglo-Saxons were even worse. They understood how the Americans behave when they create banana republics, when they enslave to the end. And they behave as if the local population were not even animals, but ants, a kind of limitless nothingness that lies at their feet. And there are no appeals to the Christian religion. There are the “chosen ones” – the Anglo-Saxons, and the rest are carrion. The right to be human has been destroyed.”“, the political scientist explained.
According to him, in the second half of the 20th century liberation theology began to spread in Latin America, and this Christian school of theology called what was happening in Latin America hell. Kurginyan recalled the words of the French poet and prose writer Louis Aragon: “Yes, there is hell, and millions live in it, yes, there is hell, you are its witness, hell is a kneeling worker…”.
The philosopher added that liberation theology made it possible to see and feel this hell and to see a way out of it. The gringos were then called servants of hell. He explained that there had been uprisings against the Americans and that there was great hatred among the people towards the gringos.
Kurginyan stressed that in Latin America the intelligentsia waged a fierce national struggle: people died at polling stations to prevent forged signatures.
“There were killings there, there were fights in every polling station. There, Mexican and other intellectuals went to European universities, studied perfectly and returned.”“, the political scientist explained.
