IS THIS A REVOLUTION?

The answer is without hesitation: this is a Revolution, as well as Fidel said, it is a miracle. Let’s argue.

It is clear that the previous statement is not shared by the dogmatists; they do not see in anyway the stages that handbooks dictate, or the proletarian forces taking the Winter Palace, nor Iskra’s proclamations, they do not see the bearded men stepping down Sierra Maestra, or Simon Bolivar in Carabobo.

In each Revolution, even though it keeps its general characteristics, the concretion of what is Universal is unprecedented. The general laws of Revolution strategically fix the direction, and what gives the plasticity necessary to adapt to the meanders of the concrete road, are the tactical compliments.

It is the job of Revolutionaries to unravel the peculiarities of the process, interpret them and make them theory, and then when well-nourished, design the battle for redemption. Of course that the anarchists do not relieve, they expect liberty comes from heaven, a society of angels, they do not do anything to take the sky by storm, they limit to behold and to be judges of any attempt to establish the new world.

If we look at this Revolution with historian critical eye from the future, we would be surprised. Let’s see.

It shines when everything was lost: it was the end of history, humanity was resigned to submissively follow the laws unrestrained imposed by Capitalism. We were walking thought the sinister hopeless night, where human values give way to profit values above anything. Altruistic ethic was substituted by the selfish ethic; we were sailing in “the gelid Waters of the calculating selfishness”.

In that environment rose Revolution, it said: Stop! And it proclaimed itself anti-imperialist and Socialist. A Miracle!!

The fight to construct and defend a new society began. The attacks from the empire came, and as Che said, it has nose to recognize their enemies. We beat coups and sabotages, we overcame desertions and media attacks.

In these adverse conditions, we manage to step forward, leaded by the tenderness that follows the Revolutionary and the courage of a practice that places us at the beginning of important changes.

This country has a renter economy; thereof the use of that income will give the sing to the process. We gave a vital step when Revolution took PDVSA’s control. After beaten meritocracy, that rent which it used to be taken by gringos now points at the construction of Socialism.

In the story of this Revolution, the control of PDVSA would have a stand out place by Commander Chavez government, that was and that is the economical pillar that led the development of the process.

There is no corner of society where the oil income did not leave its constructer mark of new social relationships, from hospitals to relations with our brother countries; even until the fight against the shortage of food. It is not thinkable this Revolution without the heroic, brave and loyal creation of PDVSA.

With Chávez, all!!! Without him, nothing!!!
