“From my corner of the ring”. What similarities can we see on this continent today 2026?
“From my corner of the ring”. Not only have my studies on Marx’s “one-book plan,” officially titled as such, been impacted, but my family and I have also been victims of the Marxist plan used by Fidel Castro.
What similarities can we see on this continent today 2026?
All these communist regimes are historically based on a coherent set of strategies to maintain control over an entire country and its entire population.
These methods are rooted in the 10 measures described in Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto (Year 1848) and the subsequent principles of government adopted by regimes such as the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, and more recently Venezuela, among others.
Case in point: In January 2026, following a unilateral US military intervention that captured Nicolás Maduro, the reactions of Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Cuba were influenced by various ideological ties and, according to them, based on deeply rooted regional principles of ‘sovereignty’, but in reality all following a guide in Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.
Reasons for opposing the removal of Nicolás Maduro as expressed by all these above cited socialist/communist countries:
While their motivations vary, these nations generally oppose the method of removal (U.S. military force) rather than necessarily supporting the illegitimate Maduro government in Venezuela.
The rhetoric of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo of Mexico, and I quote: “This is a Violations of sovereignty and international law…”
Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia have condemned the US operation as a violation of the United Nations Charter and the territorial integrity of Venezuela. They argue that unilateral military action sets a “dangerous precedent” for other nations in the region.
But they mention nothing about Nicolás Maduro’s usurpation of the presidency after losing the 2024 elections to Edmundo Rodríguez Urrutia, with María Machado as his running mate, nor do they mention the illegal occupation of Ukrainian territories carried out by the communist Vladimir Putin starting in 2014. Nor do they mention that these two cases constitute violations of the United Nations Charter and the territorial integrity of Ukraine and Venezuela. But they argue and echo globally that the unilateral military action carried out by the United States under the administration of Donald J. Trump sets a “dangerous precedent” for other nations in the region.
These socialist communists hypocritically constantly cite the fundamental principle of “non-intervention” in Latin American diplomacy, the ‘Estrada Doctrine’ often cited by Mexico, which holds that foreign governments should not judge the legitimacy of other regimes or intervene in their internal affairs.
But they do not mention the principle of non-intervention when Castro’s Cuba actively promoted the export of the socialist communist revolution and supported armed guerrillas in Latin America and the Caribbean for decades. Led by Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara, these efforts included interventions, training, and financing of insurgent groups, seeking to overthrow governments and expand communist influence in the region.
After Castro’s 1959 revolution, Cuba sought to replicate its model. In the 1960-70s, expeditions with mostly Cuban fighters were initially attempted in Panama, Venezuela, and Colombia, among others.
The rhetoric of these countries suggests they fear that a sudden and forced regime change could lead to civil war or a catastrophic collapse, triggering mass migration and violence that would spill across their borders. But, once again, they have ignored the dozens of interventions by Fidel Castro’s communist Cuba throughout the continent.
Ideological alignment and survival with Nicaragua and Cuba as long-standing ideological allies, both countries view U.S. action as “imperialist aggression.” Cuba is particularly vulnerable, as it depends on Venezuelan oil; the fall of Nicolás Maduro’s regime represents an existential economic threat to Havana.
However, despite resounding failures, the Cuban communist regime maintains a foreign policy focused on promoting armed left-wing movements in the region, not only during the Cold War era, but also now, with proven evidence of Cuban agents and military personnel killed by U.S. military action January 2026 in Venezuela, all of whom, called heroes, were received in Cuba by Díaz-Canel, Raúl Castro, and other communist officials.
Although these nations generally do not claim to oppose democracy itself; rather, they oppose a transition they consider imposed by Washington. Something like the case of North Korea, a communist country that calls itself and proclaims itself to be the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”.
Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, acting as lackeys of these communist dictatorships, have consistently advocated for a “Venezuelan-led” democratic transition through dialogue and new elections, instead of intervention by external forces. However, these same countries, after the July 28, 2024 elections, ignored the fact that Nicolás Maduro’s government disregarded the results that gave the victory to Edmundo González, relying on the proclamation of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE), controlled by Maduro’s regime, which granted Maduro re-election without presenting the detailed vote tallies.
The opposition and various international governments denounced a large fraud, based on the publication of vote tallies that indicated an opposition victory. As loyal communist lackeys, these leaders have criticized U.S. statements about “controlling” Venezuela or its oil resources, viewing them as a rehash of the Monroe Doctrine rather than a genuine push for democracy.
Just as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has denounced misrepresentations of her government, recently highlighting the rejection of false accusations linking previous statements to protests in Los Angeles, they similarly distort what genuine democracy truly is.
Taken from the pages of the Manifesto, “Marx’s one-book plan,” they express skepticism about democratic legitimacy, and we saw proof of this when Brazil and Colombia initially refused to recognize Nicolás Maduro’s electoral victory in 2024 due to fraud but later changed its position. Now they maintain that democracy cannot be restored by “kidnapping” a “sitting president”, which they consider inherently undemocratic.
But these same two countries, in a communist bloc together with Nicaragua and Cuba, consider it a misrepresentation for the democratic opposition to label the popular election in Venezuela as illegitimate resulted in favor of the opposition, but in favor of Nicolás Maduro, arguing that the claim of the opposition this constitutes a further violation of democracy, thus counteracting the opposition’s argument.
All these are communists’ criminals, and as the famous phrase attributed to the Cuban national hero José Martí says: “I lived in the monster and I know its entrails, and my sling is that of David.” Here I am expressing my profound understanding of this criminal communism in the world.
FINALLY: All of these anti-federal government, anti-ICE, anti-immigration agent, anti-Donald J. Trump administration protests, and anti-USA demonstrations involving the burning of American flags, including looting and riots, are all planned and financed by the US Communist Party, including communist politicians on this continent, with millions of dollars in funding from China and Russia, among other countries. This is a reality that many have refused to acknowledge for decades, until now, with Donald J. Trump and the majority of Republican politicians in power.
