The word Homeland as a justification for the violence of the totalitarians



Albert Camus said in times of World War II

"The Homeland is not the abstraction that avoids men to the massacre but certain tastes in common that makes us closer each other."

This clarification was made because Nazi totalitarianism used the word Homeland as justification to call to persecution, imprisonment, murder of other, the others that not support the Nazi regime, in short, as like Camus says, they use the word to advocate for the massacre of their own people, of the "beloved" homeland Nazi, as a that of other peoples and other countries.

Chavism with the totalitarian and fascist spirit uses the word Homeland to divide and justify violence and death against those who dissent. Homeland is only for they, which guarantees the monopoly of power and submissive obedience of the entire population. Homeland is NOT really HOMELAND, because it is a homeland only for them and for other hell. The essence of the word Homeland, is that it is inclusive, it is the things that twin us, that make us feel alike.

The betrayal of the Fatherland that the Chavista elite manage in their scripted speeches are the strategy to initiate their violence and repression, and kills the real meaning of the word Fatherland, and shows the monsters that they are, which turn beautiful words into catapults to launch repression, jail and death.

Camus in His Letters to A German Friend wrote 

"You fight, against all that part of the man who does not belong to the homeland"

Camus said this, because the moral justification of German Nazism for apply terror and violence is based on the use of the word Homeland, as an argument in favor of any barbarity against other peoples and against the German people themselves.

But men have something more than Homeland they have dignity, they have ethics, they have mercy, love of neighbor, empathy with the weak, in short there is that beautiful part of man that is more than the word Homeland of the Totalitarians.

"Words always acquire the color of the acts or sacrifices they raise. And the word Homeland acquires bloody and blind reflections among you, what will always be strange to me, while us, we have put in the same word the flame of an intelligence, in which courage is more necessary, but in which man wins." Albert Camus

Patriotism, following Camus, is not a profession of faith, nor the follow-up of an intolerant, ultimist and unique thinking ideology, but the way of loving, worth the redundancy, our "homeland" so that it is not unfair, so that it is inclusive in diversity, where ours groups of peoples with its differences feel part of what unites us and makes us similar, that word what is worth calling Homeland.
