No one asked me, but, I propose that, massively, we begin sending urgent notes, messages and communiqués to the revolutionary people of Venezuela. It would be nice to whisper things in their ears, brotherly, sisterly things, of fraternal love, telling of necessity and urgency. For example: Venezuelans! Comrades! Your votes also represent us here in Bolivia, in Cuba, in Ecuador, in Nicaragua, in Colombia, in Mexico... Come out and vote for all of us. Come out and succeed one more time, with your moral strength, with your revolution at a gallop. Come out as never before and succeed as you must. Expressing international solidarity does not imply ignoring nor annulling the internal debates that may have substantial value but which must not prevent multiplying our forces, supported also, on the mobilization of sister countries. No one is to stay home, no one is to elude their responsibility of voting for all of us. Is that too much to ask? No one asked me, but I feel the need and the haste (perhaps out of impotence) of calling on whoever I can and however I may, to convince them to connect with Venezuela. To convince them of knowing her and feeling her, convince them of understanding her and accompanying her with whatever they have and as it should be done. To convince them, in fact, of letting the Venezuelan Revolution know how important she is to us and how much we need her, triumphant and decisive. Maybe it's time. Let's see. Venezuela has taken the class struggle to an advanced level that had been silenced in a thousand ways. One should almost thank her aggressors and coup d'etat promoters for the diversity of dirty scoundrel tricks, the speed and abjection invested in organizing such attacks because it makes things easier for us, saves us some trouble and clarifies the path to revolution. Today it is extraordinarily clear that the Venezuelan Revolution benefits us all (all those proletarians who seek unity) to shorten distances between a reality that overwhelms us and the consciousness we need to act correctly. The revolutionary people of Venezuela have decided to destroy the bourgeoisie. That is a great example, an inspiration and an magnificent conquest. It is essential that it expand and be deepened. Everyone must vote. Let's see. The exemplary achievements of the Venezuelan revolution in health, housing, education and jobs ... are, among a thousand other things, a gift and a schooling that, in the extremely short life of the revolution, have already produced direct and indirect benefits to many Latin American peoples and comrades (and not only them). The list is very long if we merely take as an example the contribution of the "Missions" that open eyes, defeating illness, that open the eyes of the soul and of the mind. Let's see. Venezuela with its socialist revolution has offered us the gift of the definite certainty that the struggle for dignity leads to the triumph of the deepest and most sincere democratic aspirations of all peoples. The word from this revolutionary Venezuela is in the world today, the word of hope and commitment that inspires many and that awakens all peoples. We owe this revolutionary Venezuela its symbolic strength, its historic richness, its combative values and its warrior morals that, despite sorrows both internal and external, does not lose her bearings and does not lose her composure. Let's see. The figures for Venezuela, even at a time of the worst world economic crisis (caused by capitalism and its perversions) sustain her real rate of growth and her basic revolutionary development programs. No European country self-righteously considering itself "first world" can say (at this time) anything similar. Venezuela has taken firm steps towards the planning of an economy subordinate to the collective good and towards the subordination of politics to the democratic will and social justice. There are figures galore. Very few others can claim anything similar. For this and more, let's take on the task of letting Venezuela know how much we care and how vital it is to all of us that there be a decisive democratic success in their next elections. Let Venezuela know, in a thousand ways, what we have learnt, what we have received and what we appreciate of her effort, her talent and her revolutionary exemplarity. Let Venezuela know that their successes are necessary to us to the extent that Venezuelans do what many of us cannot. For now. But this involves making it known so as to inspire those convinced, those in doubt, and those not convinced, too. To mobilize a world current of encouragement that proves contagious and that will get everyone out to vote faced by the coming elections. That record numbers be obtained, that the affluence prove to have never been seen before. That everyone come out and that they all vote fraternally accompanied by hundreds of sister peoples that know that they are benefited and are co-responsible for the ascent of the revolution and its multiplication around the world. That we succeed in speaking to the heart of each Venezuelan and also to the mind of each Venezuelan that shoulders the task of deepening the revolution so that he/she knows of its value to us outside their country and how much we care about their collective and socialist undertaking. That they should feel, then, in their hands, (at the time of voting) the historical responsibility and the privilege of feeling the fraternal pulse of millions of solidary souls all over the world. This involves opening a space for an internationalist campaign that will tell Venezuela of the importance of her votes and how urgent it is for us, in each country, to count on an exemplary success in the coming elections. To ask by any and all means, for messages to the revolutionary people of Venezuela, that they be told why their vote is so valuable and why the Venezuelan Revolution is an international responsibility. The matter involves finding one and a thousand ways of getting messages through and then replicating them so they appear on all the alternative and community media, the workers' press, the social movements' press, the university press blogs, pages, twitters The idea is to generate a communications mobilization that reaches everyone (the undecided included) to come out and vote because an entire continent accompanies the elections and also depends on their success.
