Goodbye Chavismo By: Roland Denis
Adios al Chavism
Passage
through streets and fields, if at any time any of us had to be part of
history gathered in the last 20 or 30 years, no doubt encounter wasted,
frustrated, rabid faces, saying goodbye to a story that the after all is
theirs and they, passionate history for many years of what has been
called the Chavismo. A farewell is not formal, moves
between doubt and to tears, in others with the joy of downloading an
unbearable weight, but farewell at the end of the story failed.
This
written already for a long time has had to be done, but it's time to
throw on the public wheel, words that actually have such a personal
connotation as political. It matters little, because even
in the depths within all sections of a controversial life will
inevitably always uniting personal and political issues, social and own
burdens we carry inside. That's why things ultimately "have to be said" if something still makes sense to say. The
Revolution are romantic, utopian, perhaps nonsense, but they charge
their entire raison d'etre when we see how the heart is attached to the
number of dreams that have crossed our lives, and often have had to
suffer the atrocity of repressive beasts ; querencia pain and there is the confrontation impossible to solve. And as they have suffered the barbarian also they sense the wonder of collective apotheosis in his own cry. You
are deployed asking forgotten the whole centennial curse of slavery,
poverty and submission to finally take ownership of their bodies and
land they wanted at the time to say goodbye forever to that hated
history. That was the revolution and will remain but its lost path; premonition of a great failure that bursts before our eyes, and in my case I could sense early on.
"I'd
rather say NO" as the song of the diva says to continue validating
circumstances are something that denies us in whatever sense we have
given to the steps one by one have been made between struggles and
dreams, that it is the latent message to sit behind racks of thousands
and thousands of people who still do their best to make some sense to
some red flannel their abundance in the closet. Venezuela
is a medium-sized country, no connotation within the imperial laughter
than his immense mass of mineral resources and biocarburos, but full of
legendary reminders that return a salad between repeated myths and
presences of deceivers accurate lagging behind public wealth
concentrated among the BCV and PDVSA. Curious country that
has nothing to offer in what happens to her now but is the original
pocket of all nuestramericanos heroics. A heart at last no
possible synthesis between past grandeur and the reality inanimate
subject to the control of those who never understood what is a step in
favor of collective joy, nor interest them in the least. When
there is no national vision, no deep moral communities, much less a
nation that proposes the world a radically different life that we
imposed capitalism devastating when it is simply a war that moves
between grandiose discourse of past heroics and desperate craving to
take control of the income of wealth that leaves the ground sortario
then can be sure that the "revolutionary and emancipatory reason"
disappears quickly, as indeed has happened and with it the best of
Chavismo.
Chavez
was forged as a subversive bet you knew at the time to collect all the
forces that remained outstanding after the great failures of the armed
leftist and reformist, while a play with gansteriles beings who knew how
to understand it best intermingle with the rebel diaspora since the
mid-eighties had no way to hold back, putting under the well hidden the
true conservatism that linked table in the same conspiratorial
brotherhood to mobster with the most reactionary be linked to subversive
flight of dreamers. From that majestic salad where no
flavor is combined, it is understood that the new revolutionary heyday
had to assume the forms of a caudillo feat as indeed happened. In
fact it was impossible for then a ideologically homogeneous collective
leadership rather apologies "to diversity, horizontality" that again and
again repeat, in our particular case paradógicamente were nothing more
than a welcome to warlordism, a rejection to us unified and organized
and the smooth withdrawal rare and poor "people" led by his son elected,
from centuries past. For these same reasons, it was
unacceptable to the emergence of an imposing and despotic leader, but a
trainee popular base that gave life; the wonderful path and personality of Chavez. He
also had to be "diverse and horizontally", ie, egalitarian, something
that Chavez understood and played in it, although I have kicked in the
face book "Makers of the Rebellion" by undoubted pride.
Unfortunately
that same apprentice crowds, their dreams and their programs, extreme
radicality when proposing a new horizon to our country, that initially
wonderful fantasy of popular power, throw up any past to make certain
the possibility of something that resembles the Bolivarian material
realization, at the same time became thesis government drag that
gangster salad that gradually was eating not only bureaucratic
vestibules of the presidency and ministries but to groups, leaders,
historical pictures of the fight revolutionary. If there is
a legacy of Chavez really dark he is not having got rid leader who
forced him to be to become the leader with willingness to use the
command of State against the gangster substrate accompanied him on his
conspiracy phase and subsequently democratic .
This
tangle of situations have years trying to understand after suffer, in
some cases writing it, without major successes, the truth is that it had
to happen what is happening today to take the step which many simple
things of my country do without major complexities mental, even very
intense feelings: goodbye to Chavez. A revolution tough
decision involves situations that carry all the risks of history,
without those decisions is absurd, coward and liar about it, much less
direct in her name. If it not has done here since the beginning that it was essential so long we had to talk in these terms. Chavez Chavez dies like the fidelismo dies with the departure of Fidel State address. Cuba and Venezuela have been the last utopias of revolutionary state embodied in the heroes who gave way. Chavez
did not break the caudillo he created around him, had no other way to
shout the need to break when his life was known finish, but still, and I
personally do not understand yet because he did not dare to, I leave
intact gangster substrate. I do not understand why more fear you have to power around you than death itself. It is that bureaucratic structures of state are so immensely powerful that even before the evidence of death imposed ?. Here's
something you do not understand, is a stranger or just some information
missing me, metaphysical background or will I'm an asshole.
From
there it has been a disaster that we are tired of denouncing in its
effects and origins materials-economic, political, social, but in this
case is not about repeating what screamed. A friend told me
that these days one of these programs gossip against opposition Diosdao
Cabello, the friend and not just talk about gossip accompanied by any
number of speeches by Chavez, but now, resembling the leader, making
programs together civilians and military who applaud. But
making fun of his hero and commander, recently mounted a program where
its military and civilian audience applauds nothing less than one hour
of television presenting his family. It is the family of
his cachifa that should have piles that counts, not the family doing
convicted tails to a pyrrhic salary is just pure exploitation of a
workforce that pays with his effort what others have embezzled it is
your family, fathers, uncles, sons, brothers, and give, enjoying the
infect consequences of a story. His enjoyment is the perfect portrait of mockery of our farm as a people. But
anyway, more than the abhorrence personally gives me such media
manipulation with photographic gomecistas or values of the pictorial
cultures of the oligarchy of the nineteenth century, I want simply to
note that the "goodbye to Chavez" is not only the outraged honor of the
poor it is also of those who rejoice television front, all the gods of
power. If my family is nice, the flow of an inherited
political fame, then my friend you was absorbed entirely within a
sleepwalker equivalence that your family can be a portrait of some
pleasure that dignifies to be national. How foolish
self-centered, reactionary and hedonistic ... goodbye to the little
people really profuse and Chavismo remains ... and súmenle an evident
token fee:! Military applauding the act, it is both a message of terror
under their smiles are adding bought us making use of the media family
that control order.
Power
corrupts, if clear but beyond all power is a historical creation since a
man stood over another creating social differences, something only from
Machiavelli understood how little had to do with morality itself much
of the ability to move the techniques of manipulation of circumstances
in the friend-enemy relationship. It was great learning or
what inspired, he made it clear that the policy front is a world that
was preparing to invade the world under-operator market model that would
call "democracy". Chavismo as all also touched corrupted,
playing a worthy legacy of Machiavellian manipulation where unlike so
many revolutionary past memories not materially leaves nothing. It leaves nothing involving intelligence, productivity, science, collective organization, of which we can be proud nonetheless. It
is an empty and merely symbolic legacy, where only the few who have
been able to resist the violent and bureaucratic fence who have
condemned this country, are prospering a revolutionary cry and
self-governing possible: communities, communes, orders workers' control
listless, with no possibility to unite to tear this infernal mockery. That is now impossible, but maybe later bonding steps will be necessary to give them, and they are many and long.
The
"goodbye to Chavez" is goodbye to an extraordinary dream in front of
our faces we turned into a nightmare, in a sort of curse which all
revolutionary trends day to day tell propose a way out; a more principled, more pragmatic, others bravely lift off the official political command. But
also, every day it becomes more and more sense, since Chavez stopped
having it, being useless propose to exits when its essence was
completely drowned in the gangster signing that governs the government,
governs its bases, governs the monumental looting which they have
generated.
The
posters of Chavez Chavez himself souvenir and crumble before the
collective indifference, to pass nothing, the symbol without proper
content of computer capitalism, that "aesthetic void" which opened a few
years ago our splendid squalid. And that is precisely the
reason why Chavez dies condemning an entire people to unproductiveness,
fascinated by the ability of manipulation that has left his
commander-president and that the snatching after death, but falling
apart in turn this mediated fascination. They failed to make the calculation time how taxation works like the collective subconscious. It came close, and came goodbye millions are giving.
I'm
sure however, that this goodbye, and those who are going to go
annotating, are not just a castrated end of frustrations leaving the
revolutionary adventure. Precisely this huge void, this
context of radical improductividad with leaves lying Chavismo this
country can be at the same time, the starting point of a new dreamer
outbreak, without leaders or preset symbolic orders, direct
relationships, horizontal, communicating and between communities beings
productive workers where again shine "raised morale". If you look at the peace process FARC and ELN in Colombia probably also arguably it dies what was a dream full of blood. Or
the same reborn Cuba where the pleasure of usury and accumulation,
after decades of incredible efforts, combined friendship with the US. It
may be that generations that have already passed the years we stay
trapped in this frustration, I will try that is not my case. The
nuestramericana blood is not going to be quiet, let alone among us
where Chavez Venezuelans to finally go to hell, leave us all to do, you
vivitas utopias who does not accept dying between posters and
advertisements; nothing will force us to creation. A
new world is to be created and the vital beauty of Che still dead
seemed in life, continues to inspire, meanwhile depart out the pussy
whatever grandísmos phonies, thieves, liars, traitors, that the
Venezuelan and nuestramericano people ask step, and if they are not
given will be back with their blood that give know, there's no
vanquished people !.
