I have been publishing this blog for 20 years and I have dedicated much of its content to remembering the crimes of totalitarian regimes.<\/p>\n

A Stalinist group tries to fish in troubled waters using Hispanicity as bait<\/a><\/rel>
\nStalin: data and numbers of the crimes of the bloody communist dictator and genocidal<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

I have devoted many articles in particular to communist crimes. The crimes of nazism are well known and many films have been made about them<\/strong> (it is the only way many people today have of remembering history), but cinematography about the crimes of communism is scarce in proportion to<\/strong> the more than 100 million dead that this totalitarian movement has left<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Every time I write an article about the crimes of totalitarians, it is not only to remember their victims, but to prevent history from repeating itself<\/strong>. Unfortunately, after the horror of the Holocaust and after the horror of the communist genocides, today we are witnessing the reappearance of anti-Semitism in the West and the resurgence of communism<\/strong>, the two monsters that caused the most deaths in the last century. In the face of something like this, I refuse to be indifferent.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I sounded the alarm about a Stalinist group that is infiltrating the right using hispanic-ness as a hook<\/a>. As you could see in my article yesterday, this group praises Stalin and the communist dictatorships of North Korea and Cuba<\/strong>. That is, a group that praises a bloodthirsty dictator whose regime murdered millions of people<\/a> and dictatorships that today turn entire countries into huge prisons. There are people who defend doing things with a group like that.<\/strong> That is, with a group that praises regimes in which those who disagree with the power are sent to prison or executed.<\/p>\n

I was not at all surprised to see that after my post on Twitter sharing that entry I started receiving insults from anti-Semites<\/a> and messages from admirers of Stalin and Hitler<\/strong>. Once again, nazis and communists united, just like in the invasion of Poland in 1939<\/a>. In an article I published here in September I pointed out that they are the same scum<\/a>. Now they even defend each other.<\/p>\n

The funniest thing is that the leader of that Stalinist group called me a \"coward\"<\/a> for blocking him on Twitter. How can someone who praises a dictator whose regime finished off dissenters by shooting them in the back of the head complain about being blocked on Twitter?<\/strong> Does it seem more painful to be blocked by another Twitter user than to be sent to the Gulag or to a wall before a firing squad for not sharing an opinion like Stalin?<\/p>\n

That communist leader has also said about me that \"these types of individuals are solvents and very useful to those responsible for the management of the DANA.\"<\/em> Surely he does not read this blog much. Here I have criticized and will continue to criticize what the PSOE and the PP have been doing<\/strong> from the national government and the autonomous governments. I do not accept opposition lessons from a government of those who praise dictators who put an end to all opposition through the most brutal repression<\/strong>. You have to have colossal cynicism to defend dictatorships like those mentioned and then call a demonstration against the \"regime of 78\", as this Stalinist group does. Our democracy has many defects, but it is a thousand times better than what they have in Cuba or in North Korea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for the rest, I make it a rule to block all totalitarians on Twitter<\/strong>, whether they are nazis, communists or fascists. I have nothing to argue with them, and generally I only receive insults from such people for the mere fact of defending democracy, supporting the State of Israel and supporting Ukraine. I have nothing to argue with those who defend regimes where criticizing the power is considered a crime<\/strong>, a crime that is punishable by the most severe penalties, including death. In the dictatorships that totalitarians admire, I would be in a Gulag<\/strong>, in Laogai (its Chinese version) or in any other concentration camp, or I would simply be underground with a bullet in my skull<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I can debate anything I need to with those who accept democratic rules<\/strong>, with those who defend a political system in which freedom of speech exists, with those who believe that having certain political ideas does not give them the right to liquidate those who have a different opinion. With those who defend mass criminals like Stalin,<\/strong> with those who defend murderous regimes like those of Cuba and North Korea, with those who admire a murderous monster like Hitler... I have nothing to discuss with them. Absolutely nothing.<\/strong> I wouldn't join them even to collect an inheritance.<\/p>\n

The only thing I feel like doing with people like that is using my only weapon, which is the word, to denounce the things they defend, to remember what the tyrants they admire did<\/strong>, and to try to prevent that dark part of history from repeating itself. Because let's not fool ourselves: those who defend Hitler and Stalin<\/strong>, just like those who defend criminals like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un or Xi Jinping today, not only whitewash those tyrants, but they send us the message that what they did was right<\/strong>. From that to repeating history there is only one step, which may be faster than some imagine.<\/p>\n
