In the USA, there is a confrontation between Republicans and Democrats, in Andean countries like Ecuador and Bolivia, the candidates are many, in the case of Ecuador they are more than 16.
In this as in all wars there is a confrontation between weapons, or technology, is for resources and aims to win or control the population.
The weapons that are in use are the Internet, advertising, mass media such as radio, press and TV. and their use is to produce the destruction of their opponent, which is not a physical destruction or elimination, but as in a sporting event, the goal is to defeat him.
But he who wins the electoral contest of the United States can dispose of the greatest military and warlike arena ever imagined, ranging from nuclear weapons that have not been used again after the Second World War, to chemical weapons that were banned after the First World War but seemingly were used in the Iraq and Syrian Wars, and now the fearful biological weapons that the United States and China are blaming on themselves as the cause of the pandemic that has us in the worst crisis experienced in the last years of existence of the species all over the planet.
Latin America and worse Ecuador have no possibility of opposing the United States, and for this reason they have had to tolerate, even violating their Constitutions or the law on which the countries are founded.
But countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, have developed resistance mechanisms, at a great economic and human cost, which the United States now considers a threat, just like the threat of the Colombian guerrilla, which has resisted since the 1960s, and drug trafficking, which has managed to pierce the U.S. border, see migrants as a threat.
Like all wars, it is a war for resources, but these resources are not only those that exist, but those that are discovered and those that are invented for their use. For example, gold was not as important to the Incas as it was to the Europeans, because in reality it is still less useful than other metals such as iron or copper. In the same way the rubber that was used for little things by the Indians, as to make a ball to play with among the Mayans, with the revolution of the automobile it became something valuable, something similar to what happens with lithium, which until the 21st century, nobody knew what it was for, but now that it is a fundamental element of the light batteries that give life to the cell phones, everything changed.
But among the resources there are material resources, which we have seen, immaterial resources, such as languages, writing, communication systems or storage of knowledge and information, which were key, and human resources, which can be qualified or unqualified, and this is now the point of conflict between the United States, because until recently the United States had more qualified human resources than China and now it is the other way around.
The war being waged by the world powers, in Europe, America or Asia, is over the appropriation of these resources, and the survival of both humans and countries and of nature now depends on this. Human populations also have to adapt quickly, and this war depends on the speed of adaptation to changes. The North American population is the most rapidly adapted and has adopted technological changes on the planet. It now competes not only with Europe, but also with Asia, Africa and Latin America, which are developing much greater forms of adoption and adaptation to the changes. It is precisely this enormous capacity for adaptation and survival developed by Latin Americans that now allows them to invade the United States and live within that country but outside the law as "illegals".
The electoral war within the United States and in every Latin American country confronts us between those who have and have had for 200 years, the weapons, the resources to a submissive population, with those who have hunger, knowledge, adaptability, growth.
The cause of this conflict, which could escalate, is that Latin Americans want better prices for their products, better wages, and they do not want borders throughout the continent,
On the contrary, the Republicans, the nationalists and traditionalists of each country, want to maintain the low salaries, the bad prices for products, and the borders, their enormous properties and their life of luxury, in the midst of growing poverty, which is no longer only material, but moral, because the so-called comparative poverty, which in Latin America is only a perception worse than real poverty, is the motor of the fever for rapid enrichment that is the chronic plague of America.
