                      with my mother, and we saw Patrocino; he had had his tongue cut out
                      and his toes cut off. The officer jackal made a speech. Every time he
                      paused the soldiers beat the Indian prisoners. When he finished his
                      ranting, the bodies of my brother and the other prisoners were swollen,
                      bloody, unrecognizable. It was monstrous, but they were still alive.
                      They were thrown on the ground and drenched with gasoline. The
                      soldiers set fire to the wretched bodies with torches and the captain
                      laughed like a hyena and forced the inhabitants of Chajul to watch. 134

                      These are but a few examples. The fascist regime in Guatemala, run first
               by General Romeo Lucas Garcia, and then by General Efrain Rios Montt, by
               similar methods, killed more than 100,000 people. William Blum speaks of
               victims "having their eyes put out, their testicles cut off and stuffed in their
               mouths, and their hands and feet cut off" by the security forces, as well as
               women "having their breasts cut off."
                      Similar fascist regimes held power in African countries, such as Zaire,
               Uganda and South Africa, for long periods of time. The regime of South Africa
               adopted a fiercely racist ideology, reminiscent of Nazi Germany. The black
               majority in South Africa, the original inhabitants of the land, were exploited by
               the white minority for years.
                      In short, the second half of the 20th century was as much the brunt of
               fascist violence as the first. Fascist regimes, similar to those overthrown in
               Europe, emerged in Latin America and Africa, who again led to the world
               becoming'a battlefield where "the strong survive and the weak are eliminated."
