BRAVE ALI

Ali Rodriguez Araque has always faced -courageously- theoretical and practical challenges of the Revolutionary struggle. He has never rested; he has never spared his will to the cause of the poor.

Winds from the Bolivarian Revolution found him in the front trenches of the battle against the empire and its local lackeys. When his effort was asked, he did not ask for comfort or ease. Face April’s coup, he quickly prepared the necessary secrecy to challenge that fascism which did not last three days. He defied December’s oil sabotage from the heart of the enemy ranks, then he showed the courage and intelligence that comes with the Revolutionaries.

The electricity crisis required his participation, he did not hesitate a minute, he stepped forward and was the center of the battle. There, he works to solve the practical problems and simultaneously he faces the enemies’ attacks, always irresponsible, facile, and immediate.

On Monday 13th, June, Ali addressed to the nation under the guidance of Commander Chavez, and gave us a class of high politics, strategic responsibility, and global vision of problems.

This day will go down in history as the emblem of the maturity of the Bolivarian Revolution, of its conceptual evolution, of the consciousness of itself, of its elevation above the logic of bourgeois democracy and demagoguery, which is patronage and liar. On that day the Socialist Revolution shined.

Ali placed the electricity crisis in its exact place: it is not just a technical matter, the generation, transmission, over consumption of megawatts, it is a deep cultural crisis of the capitalist civilization, wasteful and aggressive with nature.

Ali staged a discussion -already postponed- and that we must face: the world cannot continue the way that proposes us capitalism, it is suicidal because it is not feasible, the nature does not support a capitalist and irresponsible human species, which is spendthrift and wasteful. Revolution and Commander Chavez have spoken about the global crisis on international sceneries; Chavez and Evo had alerted in Copenhagen and it still resounds in the hearts of the honest.

Ali, Revolution, with faith that the people understand the greatness of the approach, he took the risk of getting rid of the patronage practice and he acts like a father that explains to his children the limitations of life, he puts a stop to consumerism and faces the capitalist logic.

The opponents, the enemies of life, again brandishing their irresponsibility, and with their meanness try to capitalize on the crisis. They do not care to correct the suicidal direction, they are only interested in daily profits, they act as the worshipers of the Golden Calf, or the fools of Sodom and Gomorrah, they promote debauchery that ends in extinction.

They harass Ali and attack Commander Chavez; they do not have the human quality to understand the rescue of humanism and naturalism.

We should be happy with Chavez and Ali, Revolution is in good hands, it is on track.

With Chavez more than ever!

DON’T YOU DARE MESS WITH CHAVEZ

The worst that can happen is to let us cover with the electoral logic: this has a main goal to stun the public and make Revolution to believe in the good intentions of the empire and its local servants, to think that laws and the rules of the game will be respected by our enemies.

Believing in the good intentions of the empire –already- indicates a cajoling, when history shows otherwise. The empire has no code than its benefit.

Let’s remember Allende, capitalism went over all laws and all behaviors to kill it. Or let us consider the brutal hunt that they are doing to Gaddafi, with the consent of all the capitalist countries, from Russia to the gringos. Do not forget how Zelaya’s departure was: he was taken by the Empire in a brutal manner, and then forgotten by the bourgeois elections. Mel is a good example of how capitalist go through the military and political with no bad time. In Honduras, as in Chile, the war moved between cruel and peaceful in an efficacious way for the empire.

Let’s memorize our April and December. Let's review the military-political doctrines of bush and obama, and refresh their actions today.

The conclusion of right mind cannot be different: the empire does not respect any contrary law to its interests. It is necessary to be prepared to defend the sovereignty; today’s dilemma is slavery or Socialism.

The question that emerges is: how is the Revolution face this landscape? Let's see.

If we take the health incident of Chavez as a circumstance that put us to the test, we can get conclusions, we can see the mistakes and strengths, and we can correct and reinforce our defenses.

First we detected was the love that the humble have towards Commander Chavez, the concern is unanimous. Internationally, the support is important, the twitter exploded of solidarity. Everything indicates that there is support for a while.

It is time to close ranks against the empire’s onslaught and its local lackeys, still incipient, but it can climb, they pretend to take advantage of any blink to build attacks against the country, Revolution and Chavez. It is necessary to grind the management, sharpening the connection with the mass, digging spiritual trenches.

The only way to stop the empire’s intentions is felling a loving grouped society around its leader, organized, conscious, with a Party to lead it, and alert face any mishap, ready to give everything to build its future.

If we neglect the defense, if we give signs of weaknesses, if we lower our guard, then the evil enemy of the people will come over.

We must warn the right and the empire to not get excited, and to misread reality, if they dare and get creative and look for ways to take advantage of the occasion, the response of the people, of Revolution will be ruthless: capitalism will be destroyed entirely. We will deepen.

With Chavez more than ever!

IF WE CONSOLIDATE SOCIALISM

If we consolidate Socialism, if we achieve the historical challenge, we will be founding the world that is going to be an example for the rest of humanity; it will show the path for the salvation of species.

The change in human relations will be great, we will all be brothers and the best of us will return. The problems will disappear; if we faced them together they will take manageable sizes. The strength of society will multiply by millions; we will be able to work wonders.

If we consolidate Socialism, we will bring heaven to earth, and life will change. Today’s anguishes, unemployment, insecurity, the meaningless life and going after goals that only increase the existential void will disappear dissolved by the force of an integrated society. The cheerful nature will receive the species that returns to its harmony.

Thus, the main change of Socialism is in human relations. If we live as brothers, life insecurity is reduced to minimum levels, and then we will reclaim space and time.

The night will not be encouragement to fear, but suitable for a cool ride. The house will not be a small bunker to protect us from our peers, but a home of homey love. The chains of existence will be diluted in fraternity.

Work -being for the whole society- will lose its compulsion for survival and it will become exercise of human achievement. The exploitation of capitalism will break through the cooperation of Socialism. The work will be confused with entertainment, both artists and volunteers, both building the New Man.

The streets will be a space for encounter, and will stop being battlefields, a clash of egotism that violates the human condition. The parks will not be overwhelmed by the cement of miserable interests. The nature will sing its harmony, and men will found in her, not an enemy, but a part of its essence.

They will return to the cities, now rational, humane and not stuffed; the singing birds will announce new life. The goals will change, the concerns would be -not how to survive but how to grow. The development of men’s potential and society will be possible.

To stop using unnecessary goods, superfluous and by eliminating artificial needs created by consumerism, the material forces of society will be multiplied and nobody would be unprotected.

Children will walk on peaceful streets and they would be everyone's children, protected by all, women will give their mothering love, her mother's love, with no more restrictions than their willingness, the maternal instinct will not have a brake in society, on the contrary, it would be considered as a human right.

If we consolidate Socialism, we would be giving concreteness to Christ's realization "To love one another", decreeing the end of prehistory and opening widely the doors to history. We will save species and life, hope would be come true. In short, man can –finally- be happy.

By the consolidation of Socialism is worth the fight.

With Chavez more than ever!!
With Chavez all!!

THE SHADOW

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.

THE LAST TRENCH

Capitalism has managed to convert humanity in a gigantic market where every material and spiritual thing comes about in goods, sensitive to be sold or bought. Therefore, the human-merchandise transformed in the main enemy of himself.

This process of dehumanizing that started thousand of years ago, with the possibility of the appropriation of someone else’s job, drives us to the extinction and condemns us to a miserable life.

The tenacious capitalism has conquered every expression of mankind, and life in society. The take of material was accompanied by the attack of spiritual, everything succumbs to the advance of merchandise: religion, art, imagination, everything surrenders to money’s altar. The world started to spin faster for the money, goods, the world of things crushes the human world, and the interest of capital prevails over the interest of humanity.

Wars are made for the benefit of capital, it does not matter how horrendous are the human or culture genocides Humanity is poisoned with drugs and artificial food to increase the earning on the stock market. Drugs and weapons gain capitalist’s bank accounts and destroy the youth that has no place in the system of goods.

In this battle of humanity –that resists to the capitalist degeneration, to the suicide that is the road towards merchandise- is just left a bastion, a shelter: “the motherly love”, the Mater…

The motherly love is the last trench against the capitalist selfishness, and the first trench in the Socialist offensive –that had cost a lot to capitalism to conquer it- is the preservation o the species “…There, in the motherly love, a last battle of humanity frees”. Let’s see.

Leon Zitchner puts mother’s breastfeeding on an equal footing with the most intimate bases of Socialism. He says: “…there, then, each one will receive according his needs and will give according his ability.”


But in that social form -as human as hard of being recreated- that is in that child’s childhood where every child lives with his mother while she is breastfeeding him, lulls him and gives everything to him without asking anything in exchange, with no equivalent, just for the fun of it, for the loving enthusiasm of fulfilling him in the act where –while she is giving- she fulfills herself…”

Capitalism tries to take the last trench, to defeat humanity. It attacks the breastfeeding; it reduces it to a mere problem of material food, substituting it by industrial formulas.

When they pretend compare home with the industry, occurs the spilling of love, putting love on an equal loving of a factory’s work. Some ask to remunerate it, transform the last redoubt of love in merchandise.

Revolutions must protect the motherly love, the loving family, and fight against the authoritarian family. That would be the human liberation core.

The Ministry of woman has to be the Ministry of Mothers or, more directly, the Ministry of Motherly Love.

Chávez is Socialism!!

IF SOCIALISM FAILS

If Socialism fails, if all those attempts go under, if our existent possibility does not succeed, then a deep disconcerted stage will come, resignation, disillusionment, apathy and despair. And capitalism –more savage than ever- encouraged, will have a free road to prey on the country and gobble up the planet.

Every time that a Revolutionary possibility is frustrated, the worst versions, the vilest forms of capitalism, move forward. It was like that in Allende’s Chile and the Venezuela of January 23, 1958; nowadays in China and Russia.

Today, we are the restraining wall of capitalism; if we fail -not only the country will suffer- a couple of hell’s gates will open and hate and selfishness will burst all over the planet.

It is important to study and precise what is going to happen in the immediate future if Socialism fails, and if it does not overcome all its enemies, from all kinds of furs and locations.

A great method to try to glimpse our future is to look at the transit of our brother countries that have tried to build -within Capitalism- a new world more or less happy, more or less viable.

Mexico is a good example, with its kids singing songs for kids, lying on the floor evading the bullets from drug trafficking. Colombia is a good example too, with its oligarchy practicing -against its people- a genocide that had lasted more than half a century. Europe is it too, turning desperately towards fascism, searching in hate the answers to the crisis that hate created it.

If we want more precision we can talk about the U.S., with its huge debt and its spendthrift economy that holds at the expenses of the blood and sweat of the rest of the world. Or about china with it ramshackle moral, and insane young people selling –literally- parts of their body to buy unnecessary products created in factories that exploit the Chinese working class, just to enrich a few privileged and the worldwide capitalism.

It is very easy to deduce from this picture the consequences that would have over the country, if the Socialist attempt fails. Let’s see.

Insecurity will reach unknown sceneries for us; the organized crime will dispute the hegemony to the capitalist State and in that war between cunning devils, society will be the victim. The Mexicanization and Colombianitazion of society will put in danger the existence of the nation.
The brutal privatization of economy will lead this country to a misery lands never seen, and the frustrated people, confused, will be controlled by a horrendous repression. Darker days will come.

It is so, few time society has had the responsibility to decide its own luck, and, when doing it, deciding the continent’s fate and the future of humanity, as the Venezuela society of nowadays.
We have to perceive the compromise in its global magnitude and make the efforts to move society to the greatness of the challenge. Only like this we can accumulate the necessary awareness to overcome the difficulties of the road towards existence.

With Chávez more than ever!!

CHOCOLATE RAINDROPS AND A KIDNEY

Two news shocked sensitivity and call to reflect about humanity’s future in hands of capitalism. Let’s read some paragraphs from the first news:

“In the middle of a drug’s war, a teacher from a kindergarten -in Monterrey- is the most recent example of a citizen converted in an unsuspected hero, according to the Mexican public opinion. Martha Ivette Rivera, 33 years old, recorded with her cell phone a video that showed what was happening in her class last Friday.

While in the outside was a exchange of shoots, her 16 pupils -barely 5 or 6 years old- looked at her frightened as she sheered them up to sing, lying down on the floor, to distract them from shooting’s attention: “If raindrops were chocolate, I would love to be there”. The video, where it shows how the teacher tries to calm the kids while in the back was the shooting, converted an immediate hit in the social networks (it is youtube).

Rivera says that it is not the first time that shootings happen near downtown, but never like that Friday: “I put into practice the safety protocols, dropping on the floor and I put a little creativity. I wanted to keep them protected as much as possible, so I remembered that every time we sang “Chocolate Raindrops” we do it lying on the floor”. The teacher recalls, who –in addition- I responsible for a safety program in the educative center.

At the beginning of her first class after the shooting, Martha Rivera asked –like always- what song the kids wanted to sing; the answers –she says- was clear… “Chocolate raindrops!”.

Mexico keeps a commercial relation with United Status which is envy of capitalist oligarchies from the continent; let’s recall uribe’s adulations when he signed treaties with gringos. Well, this privileged country within capitalism is being dissolved fro the inside by the drug’s mafias, executers of any existent misdeed, like human trades and hired international assassins; that without talking of maquilas with the slave labor.

The shocking incident in the Mexican kindergarten is a clear sample of the directions where capitalism drives us.

The second news, tragically as direct as a dagger to the liver, does not require great commentaries; it is an extraordinary compendium of the capitalist civilization. Let’s read the news:

“In China, a teenager has been press of marketing, but beyond all, of the Apple tablet iPad2; this young sold one of his kidneys just to get cash for his iPad2, and now he is ill. This is a very difficult complex and complete picture of the capitalist civilization, and just if there is a lack of a clear definition, let’s adds the irony that the spreading portal of this tragic news is sponsored by Apple”.

Everyday evidences of the mistaken road towards capitalism emerge, its disrespect to life and peace, every day we can see the urgency to overcome it.
