Joaquin Perez Becerra’s dust storm brought a lot of teachings to the Bolivarian Revolution. Besides of usefull separations, it showed flaws and strenghts that are necessary to be studied. Let’s see.
The first teaching: we have great weaknesses in the ideological education. The invention without a support, the cult to improvisation, and the irresponsability in the line of argument have formed us a base and a leadership easy to manipulate by circumstances.
To the first difficulty they react with the common sense that inhabits them, that is to say, the same that has made possible and justifies the capitalist domination. They do not see beyond surface, they are influenced by first impressions, they do not meditate, do not think, they do not make history.
Yesterday was good, it goes, as in a soap opera, from a handsome man to a villain in just one episode. The causes that overcome them by inconvenience are blame to despicable reasons and argumentless reasons.
They search for culprits, they personalize politics and never go to the deepest causes, to “mobiles’ mobile”. They fix things by burning some toys, some comuniqués, they are as rude as stupid that they go self-satisfied to mumble their “military deeds”.
That way, with those instruments to analysis, they let them drive by immediate perceptions, they do not have tools for reflexion, they are easy prey of reaction.
To the first displeasure they throw the Revolutionary option overboard. They work -without understanding- for its executioners, who happily dance watching the conduct that presages restoration.
Only by fighting in the surface they neglect the phenomena causes, and those origins end up building a world that is the opposite to the one they dreamt
The second teaching: Revolution is guilty of that wrong behaviour. It neglected education and the mass’ behaviour, the formation of leaders.
With the absurdity that “mass knows”, it quites the task of management and education, leaving it to the mercy of the ideology that had dominated from centuries. It has not known how to produce, and lead the replacement of culture.
The Mass, our base, is reacting how capitalism taught it, and not how Revolution should have taught it.
We have taken education and study as a subordinated example: “practice is what is important”, action, suffocation. Thinking and reflecting is a waste: “people will know what to do”.
The third teaching: we have an autistic party that has not reacted yet to Joaquin’s episode. Under that downpour, with the disturbed base, there was no information nor orientation, it left the mass to the mercy of “opportunist fisherman in the troubled waters”, we had to wait for Chavez to talk and put things into place.
The three teachings must be taken into account with self-criticism by the direction of Revolution. Correcting it and supporting in Chavez’s high prestige, the faith that the majority has in his actions and the people that is next to him. That is the strenght that Joaquin’s episode showed.
With Chavez all!!
