Miami, Sept.18 (DPnet).– José Tarano, a cybertechnical producer and graphic designer with a degree in Telecommunications, has published a revealing essay that delves into the covert penetration of socialism, disguised as progressive, not only in Latin America but also, to a growing extent, in America.
He presents it with the simile of the famous «Trojan Horse" where the strategy is to work "under the cloak of seemingly benign concepts like 'democratic socialism' or 'social justice,' and seeks to 'rehabilitate' ideologies that have historically led to despotism». Therefore, he elaborates on a detailed analysis that thoroughly examines «the discursive strategies and political tactics employed for this rehabilitation.»
Among other things, he highlights the distortion—as George Orwell masterfully described it last century in his novel "1984"—of concepts like "democracy," "freedom," "social justice," "common good," etc., etc., appropriating traditional liberal terminology and giving them a different meaning. 
In his analysis, Tarano highlights how "Neo-socialist movements skillfully exploit tensions and inequalities generated by economic modernization" and how "socialist movements have used democratic institutions to establish authoritarian regimes," taking advantage of electoral processes in times of adverse circumstances for the country where they are held.
In the case of the United States, he reveals systematic indoctrination in universities, the use of social media to radicalize young voters, the exploitation of historical ignorance about socialism, as well as the presentation of socialism as "social justice" and the characterization of capitalism as inherently racist and oppressive.
Among other considerations, he emphasizes that "history teaches us that democratic freedom is not a natural state but a fragile achievement that requires constant defense. New socialist narratives, however sophisticated their presentations, represent a real threat to democratic institutions because they reproduce the same patterns of power concentration that have historically led to despotism.» And highlights that: «Liberal democracy, with all its imperfections, remains the best known system for combining individual freedom, economic prosperity, and social justice. Its defense is not only a political imperative but a moral duty toward the victims of socialist totalitarianism and toward future generations who deserve to inherit a free world.»
