IDEOLOGY OF VANGUARD

Let’s recall that the forms of property, consciousness, and ideas are not independent, they form a group which influence each other. We know that, in opposition to the classical writer’s postulates, revolutions have happened in countries of low development of productive forces, low proletariat. This raises a question: how was possible for countries with low development make Revolution? What is the teaching? How to apply it? Let's see.

Realizing the revolutionary possibility in a country with little development of productive forces, and little proletariat, immediately it is evident the contradiction between ideologies that emerge from that situation and the ideological developments of the world Revolution.

If Revolution is captured by the same ideologies of that precarious level of development of productive forces, then it will dilute it into political conservative forms, late, at the most bourgeois; it will not make the historical leap. Such was the case after perez jimenez’s fall: at that time the ideology village -that guided us- could not break the logic of domination.

Now, if Revolution is led by the ideology of vanguard, by the most advanced at that time, then the logic of domination can be broken. Such was the case of the Revolution of Independence: the liberators assimilated the theory of the French Revolution, the Bourgeois Revolution, although here there was no a developed bourgeoisie. So, they could defeat the ideologies that revolved around the monarchical rule, as proposed by the Protection of the Rights Board of Fernando VII.


The Cuban Revolution is an extraordinary example: there they knew how to make a revolution from the field, but leaded by the most advanced ideology of the time. Thus, they got to rise above their circumstances.

The teaching is clear for us: it is necessary to rise above the ideologies emanating from our lack of material development, and overcome the ideologies that feed off our condition of a country that lives off the incomes, and rely on the most advanced universal revolutionary thought, the thought of the Cuban Revolution, Che’s, and Fidel’s.

It is essential that the Social Property of means of production is administered by the State in order to keep them social. And it is urgent to elevate excessively the Social Duty Awareness, and bring the economic forms and the Social Duty Awareness to excess. Only then with excess worlds are founded.

If we fall as prey to the same ideologies of our condition of a country that lives off the incomes, if we yield to the logic -installed by centuries- of political patronage, and if we find the revolutionary in "collective selfish" outputs, non-socials, we will be at the very best, distributing income more equitably, but not founding a new society. And so, at the less adverse wind, everything will make us collapse. The selfish collective (non-socials) forms will be, necessarily, against the Revolutionary Government, and at the end we will realize that we walk in a circle, and we let slip the opportunity to realize the miracle.

With Chavez all!
