THE TIME WE LIVE IN

Revolutionary politics should be around reality, nourishing from it, while it catalyzes the bigger changes.

To go only to the rhythm of reality is opportunism, and that does not change anything; it is to act as a weathervane carried by the breath of surveys.

Creating fictional worlds -pregnant of wishes and away from the signs of life- is at best, naive, and as respectable as useless.

Revolutions are a bold fight against the past of millennia, they need an accurate reading of reality, their signs, to know the enemy and know themselves. Only then, they can feed from times and "change everything that must be changed”. Let us proceed.

Here is an obvious turbulence in the political field: the counterrevolutionary forces show their conspiracy fangs. Everyday the whispers of military take up a privileged position in the press, the construction of a "transition" which is the new name of the coup; it is a task that they accomplish anxiously. As an example, three buttons.

First, guaicaipuro lameda’s statements:

... "General lameda does not lose sight of the country's situation and life inside the barracks. Through this analysis, he states that "the anxiety that exists in the country because of the President's health is also felt in the Armed Forces, which is a replica of the country. The anxiety in the Armed Forces and the military commands because of the political situation, the country's future and health of Chavez, whether he is going to govern or not, can generate conspiracies."

This would not be possible if it was not that clear. With the assurances of the case, it slides the call to for the strike.

Let us remember that this general -with the ineffable pablo medina- actively participated in April’s coup.

Second, the statements of general rivero that appeared in news paper “El Nacional” last 31. Rivero and his interviewer–subtly- spread the pro-coup thinking. They talk about a "invading force" and the need to get rid of Chavez, his trial and conviction.

Third, the Association of Rectors publishes -the same Sunday in the same newspaper- a call on behalf of the "democratic universities" which is a provocative and explicit call to build a project that sustains the coup. That would be the contribution of the oligarch intellectuals.

The endogenous take advantage and pull to the weak centre: they slip through any crack in order to blur Revolution and make it a hybrid social-capitalist that -necessarily- ends up in unbridled capitalism, the only that exists: greedy, inhuman and predator life.

In the way that the use of red moderates, they see weakness. They take the most to put the National Liberation thesis, which opens the door to the lackey bourgeoisie. And they renovate the questioning about hyper- leadership.

To “La Vinotinto” -a sport’s issue- try to endorse it with a political and economical coexistence that only occurs in their fictions.

The signs of reality are clear: Socialism and Revolution are besieged to weaken it and give it a snatch. It is the duty of Revolutionaries to defend them, first of all by winning the ideological battle.

Without Chavez there is not Socialism, without Socialism there is no Chavez!
