The attack against democracies, their stability, their institutions, their leaders, and their systems—whether subtle, covert, open, or carried out through intermediaries who shield the true perpetrators and aggressors—is the defining characteristic of the 21st century in the Americas, which has become a “hybrid warfare zone.” “Hybrid warfare” is “aggression that employs all types of means and procedures—conventional, unconventional, or irregular forces—with the objective of weakening and undermining the adversary’s resistance, eroding their power, strength, and will, and which has the advantage that the aggressor can avoid being held responsible for the attack.” “21st-Century Socialism” is the political name of an organized criminal group that emerged during Hugo Chávez’s presidency in Venezuela in 1999 and is led by the Cuban dictatorship. “Castrochavismo” is a neologism combining the surnames of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, which describes 21st-century socialism as “transnational organized crime disguised as politics to violate human rights and indefinitely hold power through state terrorism.”
