“Fascism is the strategy and tool used by those who consider themselves the rulers of the world, who promote only one way of conceiving life, and who try to eliminate any form of rebellion inherent to the human condition,” he said.
“As peaceful Venezuelans, we raise our voices against one of the worst plagues currently afflicting humanity. Fascism is neither a political ideology nor a way of addressing social, political, and economic contradictions. Fascism is a crime,” Rodriguez emphasized.
“In the name of fascism, the 20th century was stained with blood, becoming one of the most violent eras humanity has ever experienced. Millions of Europeans, hundreds of thousands of Asians, and thousands of Americans died because of fascism,” he said, noting that fascism exposes the homicidal nature of false democracies.
“In fascism, supposed democracies strip off their masks and reveal their true nature. They are homicidal and genocidal regimes where people are willing to push violence to its extreme expressions,” Rodriguez pointed out, stressing that this criminal violence is often inflicted upon innocent populations.
He further explained that fascism rises under “the hypocritical gaze” of those who profit from death and bombings, as evidenced by the economic boom of the U.S. military industry, which takes place at the cost of thousands of Palestinians killed.
“Every hospital, university, and school destroyed in Gaza means profit for the war barons of the U.S. military-industrial complex,” Rodriguez said, emphasizing that military contractors are as genocidal as the Israeli occupation forces deployed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Those who manufacture the bombers, bombs, missiles, and planes used to bomb innocent civilians in Palestine are equally murderers,” he reiterated.
Currently, the World Anti-Fascist Parliamentary Forum brings together over 300 legislators from more than 70 countries in Caracas, where they will meet for two days to discuss topics such as peace democracy, imperialism, fascism, and Zionism.
