Accusatory Inversion: Propaganda, Persecution and Narrative Control of Political Power

This essay develops the concept of Accusatory Inversion as a political communication strategy used by authoritarian regimes to reverse political responsibility and legitimize repression. Through discourse analysis, chronological reconstruction of events, and case studies from Venezuela, the study examines how propaganda, legal manipulation, and narrative control are used to transform victims into aggressors and present political power as the defender of constitutional order. The analysis explores the psychological, institutional, and constitutional implications of this mechanism within contemporary authoritarian systems.
