Dez. 2007, 14:53 Thema: Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Oscar Figuera, General secretary of the PCV Is the process led by Hugo Chávez Frias a revolutionary one? What is a evolutionary process? What are the essential elements that enable us to roperly define a process as revolutionary? Which are the first steps to be aken in order to open a revolutionary process? ...When you study the project of constitutional reform presented by reformist ast December 2nd you realize that it was a direct intend to reproduce class olarization, that is to say, to keep the proletariat as cannon folder of ourgeois factions. I won't stop re mining you that when the proletariat tarted to rebel against the crises back in the 90s, the group the stopped the ebellion was that led by Hugo Chavez. The reformist therefore counterrevolutionary capitalist coalition organized round the social agent of capital known as Chavez didn't allow the proletariat o move forward and try to destroy capital's society as the only alternative to inish with the reproduction of exploitation, misery and all other defeats of apitalism. All the language or discourse used in the referendum is a negation of the istorical necessity of the social dictatorship of the proletariat. For xample, when you say "Venezuelan people" instead of saying the proletariat you re negating the existence of the proletariat as a revolutionary class. In ddition, when the reformist forces asked the proletarian mass to participate in he elections you are also negating the proletariat as a revolutionary class.... This issues have been already discussed so why should I continued wasting my ime writing about all that shit...... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: translation (done by myself) of a statement from the PCV regarding the lectoral defeta on sunday. please circulate widely. this is offical. Caracas, 3rd Dec, Tribuna popular- Oscar Figuera, General secretary of the PCV, araphrasing Che, said that "you learn more form the defeats than the ictories". Like this, in the weekly press conference, the first analysis was ade of the results generated this sunday in the consultative referendum of the onstitutional Reform presented to the country by the President of the Republic, ugo Chavez Frias. Figuera stated that the results and lived events of the Venezuelan people on the ay yesterday must result in great lessons that strengthen the venezuelan evolutionary process, he explained that "that which was lived through yesterday s a new episode in the class struggle, of the intense ideological combat that s developing in our country with relation to its transformation, to the advance f the revolution, and of the interests of our people". He added that "the evolution has lost a batte, but not the war against imperialism". The PCV stated that the period lived through in this electoral process is a lear showing of the confrontation of the distinct visions of the country that xist in venezuelan society, "that was what was the game yesterday". On one hand the national oligarchy has the objective of mantaining their apitalist regime and to exploit and manipulate, using lies across the means of omunication at its service, with an incompassionate offensive, to manipulate ld and ancient fears, and historical prejudices" emphasised the representative. He added that "with a derived proposal to deepen the democracy, with a content ach time more popular, with the transformation of the state, the reordering of he territory and to raise the standard of living of our people, it confronted ith every campaign a supposed risk to property, a supposed risk to family, and supposed risk to religion, 3 ancient values of capitalist society." One of the elements that fills the PCV with satisfaction is that half of the lectorate that partipated yesterday made with a deep conscience an advance owards socialism, "weighed by the reuslts of the referendum, we have given an mmence qualitative advance to the popular conscience, that it is nothing espicable that 4 million venezuelans have opted for socialism in the mark of his infernal campaign" expressed Oscar Figuera. He remembered that 8 years ago his level of developement of the collective conscience didnt exist. In the analysis that the PCV made, they expressed that those 3 million of votars hat didnt vote yesterday is the difference from that result obtained in 2006 they continue having confidence in Chavez, because they didnt vote against havez, only that they werent convinced about the Reform and they were eutralised by the fear" he said.  Of the experiences of the electoral event, the PCV extracted some analysis, in he mark of the first reflections: that in the deeping of the ideological battle hat derives from the disrupting of the historical fears "the communists will ocus ourselves" he added that "we have a duty to demolish the easy slogans and e have a duty to go to the deep ideological battle in the name of our people". Other experiences that the venezuelan communists showed were that "in all the evolutionary processes, the existence of a revolutoionary and political nstrument, and of a unified Collective direction that directs the revolution is ecessary and insubsitutable". In this, the PCV stated that "it will carry on orking, because history shows that infront of the dominant classes, its ecessary and insubstiutable to construct the Political Instrument of the evolution", expressed thier General Secretary Oscar Figuera.  A third element of the lived experience is that finally the opposition emembered and made thiers the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of enezuela, "this is an advance, after what they faced in 1999, and the years fterwards, to come to remember that this constitution is the most advanced in he world". Caracas, 03 dic. Tribuna Popular TP.- Oscar Figuera, secretario general del artido Comunista de Venezuela PCV, parafraseando al Che expresó que “de las errotas se aprende más que de las victoriasâ€. Así lo señaló hoy en arco de la rueda de prensa semanal, haciendo un primer análisis de los esultados generado este domingo en el referendo consultivo de la reforma onstitucional presentado por el Presidente de la República, Hugo Chávez rías.  Figuera, señaló que los resultados y acontecimientos vivido por el pueblo enezolano en el día de ayer se deben extraer grandes enseñanzas que ortalezcan el proceso revolucionario venezolano, explicó que “lo vivido ayer s un nuevo episodio de la lucha de clase, del intenso combate ideológico que e desarrolla en nuestro país con relación a su transformación, al avance e la revolución y de los intereses de nuestro puebloâ€, agregó que “se ha erdido una batalla, pero no la guerra contra el imperialismoâ€.  El PCV señala que la jornada vivida en este periodo electoral es una clara uestra de la confrontación de las distintas visiones de país que existe n la sociedad venezolana “eso es lo que estaba en juego en el día de yerâ€.  Por un lado la oligarquía nacional con el objetivo de mantener su régimen apitalista y explotador manipuló con mentiras, a través de los medios de omunicación a su servicio, “con toda una ofensiva inmisericorde, donde se anipularon viejos y ancestrales miedos, prejuicios históricosâ€, enfatizó el irigente.   Agregó que “una propuesta dirigida a profundizar la democracia, con un ontenido cada vez más popular, de transformación del Estado, de eordenamiento del territorio; a elevar la calidad de vida de nuestro pueblo, se nfrentó con toda una campaña donde se señalaba un supuesto riesgo a la ropiedad, un supuesto riesgo a la familia y un supuesto riesgo a la religión, res valores ancestrales de la sociedad capitalistaâ€.  Uno de los elementos que llena de satisfacción al Partido Comunista de enezuela, es que la mitad del electorado que participó ayer, lo hizo con una rofunda conciencia de avanzar al socialismo “pese a los resultados del eferendo, hemos dado un inmenso avance cualitativo en la conciencia popular, no s nada despreciable que más de 4 millones de venezolanos y venezolanas hayan ptado por el socialismo, en el marco de esa infernal campaña mediática†xpresó Oscar Figuera. Recordó que hace 8 años ese nivel de desarrollo de la onciencia colectiva no existía. En el análisis que realiza el PCV expresan que esos 3 millones de electores que e abstuvieron de votar ayer y que es la diferencia de lo obtenido en el 2006 €œsigue confiando en Chávez, porque no votaron contra Chávez, sino que no staban convencidos de la Reforma Constitucional y fueron neutralizados por el iedoâ€, dijo.  De las experiencias del evento electoral el PCV extrae algunas, en el marco de na primera reflexión: La profundización de la batalla ideológica que se irija a derrumbar los miedos históricos “los y las comunistas nos mpeñaremos en ellosâ€, agregó que “debemos derribar el slogan fácil y ebemos ir a la batalla ideológica profunda en el seno de nuestro puebloâ€. Otra de las experiencias que los comunistas venezolanos señalan es que “En odo proceso revolucionario, es necesario e insustituible la existencia de un nstrumento político y revolucionario y de una Dirección Colectiva nificada que conduzca la revoluciónâ€. En esa dirección señala el PCV €œseguirá trabajando, porque la historia demuestra que frente al ejército de as clases dominantes es necesaria e insustituible construcción del Instrumento olítico de la Revoluciónâ€, expresó su secretario general, Oscar iguera.  Un tercer elemento de la experiencia vivida, es que al fin la oposición econoció e hizo suya la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de enezuela, “ese es una avance, después que la enfrentaron en 1999 y los años osteriores, viene a reconocer que esta constitución es lo más avanzado del undoâ€.  Pero el PCV advierte que al parecer esta defensa fue una mera escusa para negar os avances y profundización que la reforma contenía, ya que en palabra de aduel se habla de una nueva Asamblea Constituyente, “nos deja perplejos que, i defendieron la Constitución del 99 y la asumen como un proyecto de aís, hoy no les sirven†y agregó “Al parecer de lo que se trata es anzar una consigna para mantener el cuadro de desestabilizaciónâ€, advirtió l dirigente  but the PCV warns that to appear this defence was merely an excuse to negate the dvances and deeping of the reform, already that in the words of Baduel talks of new Constituional Assembly "it leaves us perplexed that, if they defended the onstitution of 1999 and they assume it as a project fo the country, today it oesnt work for them", and he added that "itapparently it sends a message whcih aintains the destabiliisation. ________________________________________________________________________ ei AOL gibt's jetzt kostenlos eMail für alle.
