READING REALITY

In politics a mistaken reading of reality is fatal, it leads to the defeat: carlos andres perceived wrongly his victory in the elections, and days after his investiture, the caracazo came. Lenin was right in his thesis of April and eight months after the October Revolution happened, the Soviet Union was born.

We are in the middle of a strong turbulence that began on February the 4th, when the oligarchic domination system found its political opponent, and although it was able to solve the contingency, it did not prevent the rise of Revolution.

We still live that turbulence: not even oligarchy manages to restore its hegemony, or consolidates Revolution; the winds of the struggle agitate the seas of society. It is necessary that revolutionaries read wisely and carefully the signs of times, only in this way we can adjust the course. If we remain blind to the signs, if we fail into its opportune interpretation, then we will be surprised by the slap of reality. Let's see.

The primaries of the retrograde, of the oligarchs are a sign of the intention of the old which refuses to die; they look like if they were take straight out from the dusty attic from the history museum. They staged a show of political onanism, they followed the script set by the gringo embassy and chose the candidate of fascism and anti-motherland.

Surveys tell us that we are doing well; triumphalism must be controlled, because, as Yogi Berra said, "the game is not over untill it is over”.

In addition to this election, which is fundamental, we find signs that we must study carefully and do not underestimate, we have to go to the roots and establish relationships. The events of la piedrita from 23 de Enero community, the protests of those victims dignified by Revolution and, finally, the loss of the reform. Let’s consider.

These three facts indicate that there are flaws in the theory that guides our practice. We noticed and we face those who say that failures should be left under the carpet. The biggest damage that can be done to Revolution is to hide the flaws, let them grow.

Practice tells us that we are not getting the expected results. The victims have been treated with such love, as it was never imagined that a government could give to the humble people. They were never left homeless not even a minute. Those dignified attack the government that supported them, not because they claim or protest because they were treated badly, but they attack because they do not get their houses faster! There are flaws within the theory that guides practice.

La piedrita formed a separated nation, it is called "la piedrita" and, indeed, it keeps good relations with Venezuela and its government.

The reform has the same root, the fact is known to all.

The three signs indicate that we have not overcome selfishness within the masses, on the contrary, we have stimulated with material rewards and isolated organizational forms, without organic connection with society and neglecting the moral consideration.

Chavistas!
