Pica, Papo, Piñate, Saturno, Periquita, el Cabo, CocoRon form the Old's battalion from the little school of "A Kernel of Corn." The seven add half a century of imprisonment in the jails of “the fourth”, three hundred years of fighting the bourgeoisie and the empire, and many years of living... All united together in the irreverence and loyalty to Chavez, Socialism, and Humanity.
The little school "A Kernel of Corn" is many things: to say that is a study circle would be correct, but it is also a compendium of all the revolutionary struggles waged in Venezuela since 1958.
In all shapes and forms of struggle, legal and illegal, peaceful and non-peaceful, in all defeats and victories, is present the life of these old pioneers of the future. These "boys" have participated in all important revolutionary actions, in the past half century. They represent contingent.
Thus, the little school of A Kernel of Corn has a historical legacy that makes it a living museum of revolutionary experience. The practice here is intertwined with theoretical rigor. The wisdom that defeat gives, with the impetus given by knowing that it is possible -inevitable- to triumph.
Discussions at the Little School give rise to the column "A Kernel of Corn" which appears daily in the VEA newspaper, they are a chair of high politics, everything produced there is marked by love, hatred has its bigger enemy in the exemplary life of the Old's Battalion: they cannot hate those who gave their lives for the sake of love.
The Old from the Battalion are direct children of the Patriotic board of Fabricio Ojeda, and the Cuban Revolution of Fidel Castro. Now, they are faithful to Chávez, who continued the tradition of struggle that has moved their whole life: the cause of love.
The Old's Battalion has the rigidity of biology and the flexibility provided by the experience, they have a nose to detect the right direction, and they have the knowledge to explain the tactical dribbling.
Although, they still visit the temple of Venus, their practice and politics do not have the feverish restlessness of the squirrel, but the quiet efficiency of the owl and the discretion of the underground.
The youth also attend the Little School, they are outstanding in the rigorous study, and they understand their needs. They feel privileged to know the history directly from their voice; there the anecdotes flourish, the unwritten judgments, the concept born from the intensity and the painful experience, but never from remorse, always the decision to continue, even on the grief lost.
This is the transmuted history in the epic and at the same time in the joke that humanizes it, it is unique pedagogy. It is sad that much memory gets lost, it is inevitable, it only emerges in confidence, and any noise would return it to the catacombs where Chavez's government rescued it.
Thanks to the Old's Battallion for letting us share with them!
With Chavez more than ever!
