The right needs ignorant masses ...
True, emancipatory revolutions foment the culture of the people, who must and deserve to take full advantage of that endeavor: not to resemble, neither in the faults of language, masses that the right drags or pushes, and lavish gross filth

... and manipulates them, capitalizes them, finances them and, when the time comes, invents them. Thus, and more, the title of the present text could be extended, but the emplacement would be difficult, and nothing special is required to mention two truths of the right, among others: the maneuvers with which it pretends and often manages to coyunde the thought of crowds, and the anger that he tries to make believe that he has the historical and moral reason that he lacks.
In a place in La Mancha whose name is not necessary to remember, during one of those meetings in which Cuba is discussed from falsehoods spread by capitalist means, some people attacked "the dictatorial regime" of this country. A prestigious and elegant academic, who aroused attention, said: "As a dictator, Fidel is very clumsy."
A companion, who was looking to bring fire to his sardine, asked him: "Why do you say that about Castro?", And she answered: "A dictator takes advantage of the ignorance of the people, does not favor education. Franco knew that, which imposed obscurantism, darkness. In Cuba, where illiteracy was eradicated and education is prioritized, most support Fidel, the Revolution. If it were not like that, he would rebel. I have been there and I have breathed that reality ».
It is not appropriate to extend the continuation of that colloquium, in which no argument seemed sufficient to move the imagination to those who assured, without further ado, that Cuba was suffering a dictatorship. For them, the transaction manufactured by Franco, with monarchy and everything, was democratic, as a succession of the tyranny that he exercised until his death.
Driven by petty interests, ignorance can ride on doctorates, and was seen in that colloquium. But it also has, organically, expressions of mental misery, with stamps of the lumpen itself.
That capitalism, captained by American power, lacks the least moral foundation is certified by its actions: exploitation of workers, dirty electoral campaigns, patronage of tyrannies, overthrow of democratic governments, looting and massacres of peoples, stratagems as applied against Venezuela, which they steal as pirates they are and then pretend to try to save her with a false help, unqualified humanitarian.
That this system lacks historical reason confirms it until the rage with which it slanders whatever it smells of social justice. What many people have said in this regard can be summed up in what Fernando Buen Abad Dominguez said in a recent article: "It would be enough to listen to the hatred that the bourgeoisie injects its denials against socialism to deduce that something very good for human beings implies end with the hierarchy of oppressors to go to a socialist system capable of eradicating the interest of capital over human beings and eradicate all the individualist, racist, exclusionary and oppressive burden that has embittered our existence for too long ».
"That capitalism, captained by American power, lacks the least moral foundation is certified by its acts "
The "bale" alluded to in the quote recalls The Burden of the White Man, a poem written at the end of the nineteenth century by Rudyard Kipling, a writer born in India and who assumed British colonization.
In that text he sublimated the supposed civilizing mission entrusted by Providence to the West: to capitalism. Today such fallacy is held by powerful disinformation media aided by the ignorance of masses reified by the hegemonic current, that of the oppressive forces that handle arms, money, technology and lies.
So dirty, these media can not wash brains: they take them. If not, how to explain the attitude of those who obey them.
In Venezuela, an example, there are those who ask to be invaded by the United States. Do you think the imperial thugs will distinguish between patriots and traitors? Could it be that, if they are Venezuelans, they are out of their country and are ready to see the "spectacle" of the massacre of their people from afar?
The ignorant, will they be to the point of not knowing what happened in Iraq, Libya and Syria? Only one trinity of terror still in progress is mentioned, but one could cite a file that already covers centuries, even within today's US territory, where the original population was massacred.
Such ignorant ones, do they exist, or are they an invention of the imperial forces and their servants to simulate the support that the empire claims to have?
Perhaps there is all that in the jumble of angry opinions against Bolivarian Venezuela and how much, like her, it defies the imperial designs.
Without ruling out that there are "enlightened" of low moral character, devilish university students who in their selfishness have given their souls to the devil, the most grotesque note is given by those who exhibit the worst devil. Sometimes they would say that they are mentally ill and, more than bad spelling, they have an appalling heterography, in addition to enjoying their bitterness using the most vulgar language.
If it were not for the criminal attitudes that they support, any person of goodwill could give it to run away to teach them even the most elementary rules of grammar, spelling and syntax, and some civility.
But would the soul be straightened with that? Could it be that, in search of "success", they submit themselves as slaves to the powerful until they do not have time to learn about the most relevant aspects of their environment?
In that he made think the eschatological verbiage launched against two recent videos that circulate in the networks. One of them contains lucid warnings from the novelist Isabel Allende against a possible US intervention in Venezuela, and some of her pathetic challengers accused her of obeying socialist ideals, because they believed her to be the daughter of Chilean President Salvador Allende, overthrown by a plan that the orchestrated
"In Venezuela, an example, there are those who ask to be invaded by the United States. Do you think the imperial thugs will distinguish between patriots and traitors?
From so ignorant, they even missed the opportunity to quote Isabel Allende who, daughter of the worthy Chilean politician, betrayed the memory of her father and slandered Bolivarian Venezuela.
Another video made statements against the abhorred Donald Trump issued by relevant figures of cinema in his country: among others, the actors Meryl Streep and Robert de Niro, whom his attackers accused of resentful and unable to appreciate the greatness of Caesar for being unsuccessful artists who have only achieved secondary roles.
Will the frantic defenders of the empire ever come to realize the ridicule they have done?
The truth is that their teachers rampage fearlessly papelazo. Michael Pompeo has done it by saying that Cuba is the true imperialist power in Venezuela, and he goes and manages to make some pretend to believe him, or even believe him! Any system should be sorry to need spokespersons with such a qualification. But does the empire have the necessary decorum to be ashamed of its ignominies? If it did, would it be the empire that it is?
Such a reality even has the danger that the left will come to believe that, given the moral reason that certifies the fact of having enemies so low, it does not need to eradicate its own deficiencies and rid itself of errors that, apart from being harmful in themselves, give pretexts to your enemies to attack it.
Although, to lie, the empire and its means need nothing more than their shamelessness: they are experts in fabricating slander.
The left, and the popular sectors that defend it and feel represented in it, must know that the oppressors manipulate the ignorance of the people who fold them, and let them sink into abjection.
" True revolutions, emancipating, promote the culture of the people, who must and deserve to take full advantage of that endeavor "
But it is not enough to trust in the efficacy of revolutionary slogans as an expression, a divine style, of the weight of justice. Lula, for example, should not be behind bars, but to assume that his claimed liberation would speak of a democratic Brazil would be naive.
For Brazilian fascism, releasing the popular politician unjustly imprisoned could be a maneuver to neutralize him completely - if he does not kill him beforehand - and a self-cleaning operation.
True, emancipatory revolutions foment the culture of the people, who must and deserve to take full advantage of that endeavor: not to resemble, neither in the faults of language, masses that the right drags or pushes, and lavish gross filth.
Indignant to see how accomplices of the possible invasion of Venezuela by the United States carry in their bodies and in their soul -if they have it- the flag of the aggressor power, and burn that of Cuba. Tell me what you do, and I'll tell you how you are.
