he communists know how to manipulate words and concepts to deform reality even though the genuine definition be contrary to what that reality is within an open or disguised Marxist-Leninist system. Unfortunately, there are many people who in good faith can fall into that ambush resulting from tactics and techniques psychologically conceived and carried out by those who are masters of deceit, the communists.

    It is a well-known fact that this skill of the communist leaders includes taking advantage of individuals who are communists, though not identified as such, or who are not communists but are part of the legion of “useful fools” or “traveling companions,” that are skillfully handled by the Marxist-Leninists to achieve their goals. Among the elements that the communists have known how to handle, directly or indirectly, is the Marxist-Leninist tyranny of Fidel Castro that mobilizes, and still does, all the necessary resources to bring about events that fulfill a communist goal, even showing that there is “tolerance” on the part of the tyranny when actually, more than tolerance, there is a clever organization toward a purpose. Regarding that tyranny, there was a time when Fidel Castro was handled, in his youth, by the leaders of international communism until he became an extraordinarily important figure passing from directed to director.

    The communists have invoked the concept of “peace” many times throughout the years making many fall into the ambush. Others, who know the technique, do not fall into the ambush because they are the ones who set it. Peace is not the simple quietude of things. Pace implies multiple and supreme values having to do with freedom and with respect for human dignity: Political freedom, economic freedom, freedom to carry out what the conscience dictates to every person who has a sense of responsibility about what it represents. Where there is an open or disguised tyranny, there can be no peace, because those working in that environment do not respond, precisely, to what peace should be: opportunities to do what one wishes in a political climate of respect for the opinion that a citizen expresses in a civilized way. A peace that is imposed or simply tolerated is not peace. Often the chains make no noise, but they exist. And as Nicaraguan thinker Santiago Arguello once said: “Chains can only hold down ankles, never consciences.”
