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.
