THE WORKING CLASS TAKES THE CHALLENGE

One of the main challenges of the Bolivarian Revolution is the construction of houses; society suffers from a housing shortage. This challenge is to pay off the huge social debt in this field; it is a unique opportunity to demonstrate the strength and efficiency of Socialism.

The ways that Revolution has to face the housing construction are two: the first one in to call Capitalists and let them do the work. Then award them, and after that material achievement try to create awareness. In other words: building houses and then Socialism.

The other way is transforming the construction process into a school of Socialism. Building houses, and simultaneously elevates the consciousness. In other words, we have to solve the problem educating people, forming Socialism and new men.

Theses houses built that way will have an organic relation with their workers, a loving relation, they would be a symbol of men’s reunion with the result product of their work, they will have a bigger spiritual value than monetary, and they would be a great step towards a new society and a knock to the capitalist relation.

It is very clear that habits and the domination installed in the psyche conspire against the way of solving the challenge: it is easier derive it from private companies. The little ominous voices are heard, they say “this way it is not possible and people will not respond, the only way is with private companies, we do not want to take risks”.

It is possible to face up the challenge with a great popular mobilization, so society moves. Society has to live in, for and inside the Housing Mission; so the housing construction would be everybody’s problem: a supportive society putting energy to solve the difficulties of their children, and solving them though education.

We already have examples and Revolution can exhibit them, they are real, practical and possible: the oil workers, who are encouraged by PDVSA’s action of socializing the piers of the Oriental Coast of Lake Maracaibo; started months ago journeys of volunteer work that gave extraordinary results. It is amazing the number of floating units that had been got back; and more important that this encourages the consciousness level of Social Duty that they have reached, of internationalism and political location. The support to Chavez and Revolution is more solid and conscious.

Nowadays, thanks to that volunteer work, there are two emblematic ships sailing in waters of Lake Maracaibo: “El Granma” and “Cinco Heroes”; in those waters where used to sail “pilín” now the proletarian internationalism does it.

These workmen already started the construction of houses with volunteer work. It is an experience, a course that has to be consolidated and extended. It is suitable that the Housing Mission develops areas for the volunteer work construction, and those sanctuaries would be educational areas, and an example of material and spiritual efficiency of Socialism.

Working in those areas would be a honor and pride that will give motives for the moral encouragement, these areas would be territories for the formation of new men, houses must come up from there and contingents of Socialist groups.

With Chávez, all!!
Without him, nothing!!
Socialism and Houses!!
