“Atomic war is inevitable. It will destroy half of humanity: it is going to destroy immense human riches. It is very possible. The atomic war is going to provoke a true inferno on Earth. But it will not impede Communism.”The year is 1962 and the man giving the speech is the Argentine-Italian Homero Rómulo Cristalli Frasnelli – although few would recognise him by that name. Instead, he goes by a pseudonym: J Posadas. The same year, a World Cup is held in Chile, just across the border of his home country. Frasnelli may well have wondered what might have been – his birth name would still be familiar to longer-serving fans of Argentinos Juniors, where he forewent a promising career as a centre-forward to concentrate on politics.
