The individual is a compendium of the society in which he lives; the social drama of his time is summarized in him. It is impossible to get away of this law. Being so, the individual is the scenery of the classes’ conflict of that time. Likewise, the most important part of the bloody battle of class struggles is inward each individual.
It is inside the prairie of individual souls where the class struggles are decided. In order to Revolutionaries successfully carry out their tasks; they must study this very important point, because there is no Revolution without Revolutionary people, and there are no Revolutionary people without conquering themselves.
Revolutionaries’ behaviors are a reflection of those class struggles which happen inside their heart. There is an opposition between the ideology of dominant classes, the dominant values, costumes, ethic, and the spirituality which was shown since childhood, and with the Revolutionary ideology which is acquired with education and imagination. In other words, the Revolutionary fight is mainly a fight between the childhood which faces up to the spirituality acquired during the adult comprehension.
That battle, between what we were and what we want to be, is reveal while we make decisions. Let’s see.
When society recognizes and makes an individual leader, whatever the level is, the struggle of classes within those chosen, obtain social characteristics. The driver’s decisions affect society, but decisions are determined by the struggles that happen in the individual who becomes a leader. Let’s explain through an example.
Bolivar liberated slaves, and it was a great decision which deeply affected society during his epoch. But, that decision was born because of the fights inside the tormented soul of Simon Bolivar; inwardly the teachings from his childhood, and three hundred years of colonial culture, the acceptation and justification of slavery confronted against the knowledge and awareness that Bolivar acquired during his adult life. In this case, the libertarian ideas obtained during his adult life won over the slave spirituality that was taught during his childhood. That is the reason he is a great Revolutionary. On the other hand, Páez succumbs to the oligarch values, he betrays the ideas acquired during his adult life while he was next to Bolivar, and he turns to the values of the dominant classes that were taught during his childhood.
We can say, then, that to become Revolutionary and make Revolution, it is vital to defeat everyday and with each decision, the domination ideology that we have stacked to us with powerful threads of the childhood unconscious. Revolutionaries must conquer themselves.
With Chávez, all!!
Without him, nothing!!
