Crimes against humanity between democracy and fascism

We must be careful to look beyond any framework that makes things anyway, in order to arrive at a new model of justice. The model here can be a financial system or a state whose internal structure is, in fact, fighting a regime inherited from a struggle that was lost on the scene of democracies; power eludes the thirst for justice.

Returning to Rome, we must once again analyze the power of Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is probably the most famous Roman of all. Because of his early death, he achieved little as a ruler compared to his successor Augustus, but he deserves his fame as one of Rome's greatest generals and most far-sighted politicians[1].

Thus, independent of the front time, a state dominated by chaos and crisis that go to determine the rum of history. In our time, in the 21st century, the globalized and hyper-connected society is at the forefront of justice and power. And it is this small power given to the human being, with the Internet network and the virtual social world that we must reflect on the extreme right and the global change that is happening before our eyes.

There is no optical illusion in the democratic vision, people really believe that they have the power to choose their representatives and that they can change a large power structure. Unfortunately, these people are wrong. The religion that defined capitalism, as recalled by Max Weber, was seen by Zbigniew Brzezinski as fundamental to characterize a volatile faith. This is directly related to democracy in the face of fascism.

The Technocratic Model of Justice

From this Academy came the sense of justice with its creator, and in Plato's just position, in order to achieve justice, the city should be governed by the philosopher. From Plato's Republic to what many sociologists or political scientists think of as modern politics, democracy was direct, the people decided who would govern the city, but in his time he had an idea of decadence where democracy was falling apart and justice was becoming more and more distant.

As time passed, the thirst for justice grew with the population and the expansion of societies. The state began to exploit what we might call the less favored peoples with firearms. The use of state violence has always been a political weapon. Those who won the wars continued to dominate their opponents and enslave them through slavery itself or simply through colonization.

Science was the religion of power; it would bring more power to distribute the sense of justice that in time came to be associated with democracy. So it's common today to look at China and condemn it as an authoritarian society or a society that lives under a dictatorial regime. This is because there is no election to change the commander, and because it is not a democracy, China is not a good example of justice.

Democracy and fascism

The Roman Empire had won several conquests and wars. The way power was distributed gradually over time and Napoleon may have been the great figure of this conquering ideal. In fact, military power still holds sway in the great empires. So it's not the independence of various settlers around the world that will give each nation its sense of justice, equality, and fraternity.

The crisis of 1929 was accompanied by what history books call a new society. The fear of the society that seemed to be forming to overcome a capitalist society, a socialist society that held the dream of becoming communist, led the leaders of Italy and Germany to cultivate the fear of their citizens and to create myths of superior beings. Fascism was born in the midst of the great change that was to come to the world after the great bomb and a geopolitical reconstruction. 

Nazism did what it did to the Jews. European society saw what happened and remained silent. The horror of Western history must not be forgotten, but in the times, in which we live, this horror is not forgotten, it is repeated.

The ethnic cleansing proposed by Trump is a sign of the times, but aren't the Americans a democratic country? And isn't Israel also a democracy? So why are these two countries not sanctioned for crimes against humanity? The truth is that the justice of democracy that we've been sold doesn't work; this justice is based on the extreme right, which is not democratic but behaves politically as if it were, taking part in elections and creating its own world of justice when it comes to power.
