THE EPIC CORE

If we analyze Revolutions we will find an epic core that starts them. Legend follows the exploits of this core; from here raises the strong image of the leader.

The core of the Cuban Revolution was the fighters of Moncada, the Granma and Sierra. All these events have as its main feature, being actions that generate a great fraternity, of "bonds that cannot be dissolved as any appointments".

In the Sierra, the starter nucleus lived according to the central law of Socialism: "The luck of all depends on the luck of each one, and the luck of each one depends on all". This fellowship made easy and possible to understand the path to socialist construction, it was its natural development. This explains the extraordinary strength of Cuban Socialism, which is able to exist even after the collapse of the socialist field.

The legend was the basis for creating a new culture. From there, the Cuban changed: the values were not the same, society is structured differently and the tasks and ways to face them were others. Society undertook the total change that is a Revolution.

Everything was reflected in the language, new words appeared, and the already known acquired new meaning: Guerrilla was synonymous of total commitment and action; Partner, of treatment of siblings; Command, of management; Command Post, of organization, CDR, of social network; Party, of Revolution; Fidel, of leadership; Volunteer Work, of accomplishment; Empire, of enemy; Internationalism, of building duty; Plaza of Revolution, the voice of society; Worm, a traitor.

The spirit of the starter core was socialized, it impregnated with its example to all that society.

That built its spiritual basis, a loving social integration that explains the heroic deeds of the people.

The story of the Russian Revolution is other; there the starter core did not have the fraternal coexistence: the clandestine struggle in the cities forced to live a solitary life, the vital importance of all was not direct, everyday life, the luck of one depended on the individual ability, the documents’ relations exceeded the relationships between people.

The Bolivarian Revolution is direct daughter of a great epic, the civil-military armed struggle against the pact of punto fijo. The military, like Manuel Rodriguez Ponte, Captain Manuit, Lieutenant Tulio Martinez, and Lieutenant Fleming Mendoza, and civilians as Fabrizio, Americo Silva, Argimiro, Douglas, merged their efforts for the revolutionary cause.

Unfortunately, at this stage Revolution was defeated, and it defeated itself and the behavior, the example of that core did not socialized.

On 4th February was the revival of the epic that -from Bolivar- accompanies this people. That core, that example, you socialize, the epic of 4 must permeate the entire society.

We should be proud of; it is an honor to participate in the new historical battles. The great tasks of today, the Housing Mission, the upcoming elections, should be an opportunity to merge with the epic of our history.

Without Chavez there is not Socialism, without Socialism there is no Chavez!
