Introduction
Posadism is an ideology that combines Marxist theory with extraterrestrial involvement. Named after its creator, Argentine Trotskyist J. Posadas, the theory posits that communist revolution is a universal law, potentially even endorsed or initiated by extraterrestrial civilizations.
Origins
Posadism emerged in the 1950s as part of the broader socialist movements in Latin America. J. Posadas, the theory’s founder, believed that UFOs and aliens had a vested interest in the spread of socialism. He famously advocated that extraterrestrial beings were likely to be communists themselves, and thus, their arrival could aid the proletariat revolution on Earth.
Theories and Evidence
- Alien Communism: Posadism suggests that extraterrestrial civilizations have a socialist structure and would support Earth’s communist movements.
- UFOs and Revolutions: Posadists believed that UFO sightings and alien encounters were not random, but signs of extraterrestrial intervention to bring about social change.
- Extraterrestrial Workers: The theory proposes that extraterrestrial beings could serve as “cosmic workers” who could guide humanity toward a utopian, socialist future.
Critical Analysis
Posadism is widely regarded as a fringe theory, and its combination of communism with UFOlogy has made it a subject of ridicule. While it remains a curious historical oddity, it lacks empirical evidence and relies heavily on speculative interpretations of UFO phenomena.
