The historical past does not disappear, its echo persists; it marks the present and it makes the clay that builds the future.
The French Revolution is projected on the Haiti of Petion and stains the independence of America. The Monte Sacro marks Saman de Guere. January, 23th is the ghost that goes into politics until today; those non-paid bills resound in the present’s actions. Thus, yesterday always appears, good and bad –in our days- are tinged with past.
A shadow covers the current politics in the world, revolutions and counter-revolutions; it is the fall of the Soviet Union. This fact influences and conditions the politics, the theory of recent years. Let's see.
The Soviet collapse made a theoretical effervescence, the capitalists hurried to build ideas that strengthened their domination, that thesis of the "end of history" emerged, the impossibility of socialism. Reformers found plenty that could be said about it and enjoyed making up theses about the burial of the Revolutionary theory.
Many of them turned to the past, but not as food for the future, but as a paralyzing shelter. Thus, they ran away, avoiding the march. Others chose the path of denial, and consequently became anarchists and skipped the necessity to find the answers to the present.
The Euro communism and all those theories that castrated the Revolutionary possibilities in Europe are direct consequences of the failure of Soviet test, it fed from the confusion to see a giant falling. Between us, that is MAS’ origin and this shameless opportunistic pseudo-left that today is begging from the crumbs of the right table.
These reformist theses -disguised of Revolution and try to overcome the Soviet collapse- feed the counter-revolutionary positions. These ideas have been refined to the point where they look as Revolutionary. When they can influence the triumphant processes, they hurt a lot, diverting them. It is important to warn about their existence and try useful signals to identify them.
The first fundamental fact is that they do not recognize the class struggle, not even the classes; they replace them by generic vagueness as crowd, community, people, constituent power, they talk about all but social class.
From this concealment dislodges that they do not consider the taking of power, they substitutes that fight by ecological skirmishes, minorities’ claims and "indignant." They deny organization and vanguard. When they encysted in the government, they spread their anarchism from the inside and weaken the formation of the Revolutionary State.
Therefore, the fall of the Soviet Union brought confusion in the Revolutionary camp; this confusion undermined the Revolutionary theory and deprived it of the basic concepts necessaries to move forward. We can say that, the most important of all Revolution today is to rescue the theory that guides the rising processes.
It is essential a great theoretical leap to overcome the swamp of inventions that -justified in the Soviet defeat- end up in the Right’s field and reformism, stopping the processes.
It's time to turn our eyes to Che.
With Chavez more than ever!!
With Chavez all!!
