MIDDLE CLASS: GUIDE OR BE GUIDED?

The Bolivarian Revolution discusses several issues insistently: the role of the State, property and social classes; everything is very interesting.

We refer to a very crucial one; it is about the role of middle class or lower bourgeoisie in Revolution: Does it guide or it is guided? On the answer depends the course of Revolution. Let’s see.

First thing we have to precise is that ideologies migrate. Which means the ideology of a class can be adopted by another class. Being so, the hegemonic class colonizes the souls from the dominated class; and that is the foundation of domination. That way a minority class can lead the whole society.

The importance in the analysis is the ideology that leads the process, and not the number of the class that leads it. What is important is not the origin of the leader’s class but the ideology that impregnates it. Let’s recall ortega, a pro-coup who was a workman; and Gustavo Machado, who was a great Revolutionary leader and bourgeois, Engels was a factory owner and Bolivar was a mantuan.

Mix up class with the ideology of that class leads to biggest mistakes.
Then, it cannot be concluded that this Revolution is leaded by the middle class, the lower bourgeoisie, or because some groups of the government belong to that class.
The right and beneficial thing to the Revolutionary advance are to elucidate which ideology guides it and which one has the possibilities to leads us to Revolution. Let’s elucidate!

In Revolution there are two ideologies that dispute its hegemony: the Capitalist ideology and the Socialist ideology; and a whole ideological manifestation enroll in some of those.

The ideology of the lower bourgeoisie is a variation of the Capitalist ideology, which characterizes by been shameless, it always defends Capitalism: sometimes in a clear way, when it is about the Right, and some other times in an oblique way, when acts in Revolution.

It is a pusillanimous ideology that oscillates around the desire to rise to the middle class, which mimics the fear of failure, and descends to the underworld of poverty while trying it. This fearful ideology, acting for Revolution, oscillates around a Revolutionary rhetoric, which denounces the illnesses of Capitalism, and a Capitalistic practice.

Their proposals in every Social field are fragmentary. So, they convert the Common Power, the political organization and economy as a Revolutionary sarcasm.

This middle class ideology cannot lead Revolution!! It just can prepare its burial.
The only capable ideology to do Revolution is the Proletarian ideology. It can embody in some social sectors and direct the process, but any moment, it can find with its own class, the workingman, and make them conscious and put them to the vanguard of Revolution.

Middle class, the bourgeoisie class must integrate to the Revolutionary processes, and adopt the Revolutionary ideology. Everything else is pyrotechnic ideological.

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