Lie and shout revolution or Vice-versa

Revolutionary epics used to be sublimated. Thinkers continue to rummage to establish analogies of the Venezuelan with others revolutions
Red October was a coup d’état. A group of Bolsheviks storm the winter palace. Indiscipline and anarchy put an end to Kerensky’s government.
Maximo Gorky said about the events of October: “Too many people attribute revolutionary character to what, in fact, is nothing more than a lack of discipline and organization on the part of the masses (…) There is much more here of an absurd than heroic nature.”
Orlando Figes adds: “During the last days before October 25 Lenin emphasized: “a military coup would succeed, even if only a minimal number of disciplined fighters joined him because Kérensky’s forces were feeble.”
A liberal revolution was consummated in February 1918, the Tsar was deposed, and a provisional government attempted to establish a Western-style democracy was installed. October 1918 is a reactionary coup of state led by a small party against The Liberal February Revolution.
“ If we believe what those who were in the assault on the Winter Palace in Petrograd said, the figure reaches science fiction numbers. Credible lie, incredible truth.”
Trotsky described it as: “A series of small operations, calculated and prepared in advance.” What came after October 18 was chaos, the struggle of different groups for territories and finally the civil war.”
Between Socialists Popular, reservists, bund, Mencheviques, Interbarrios and Bolcheviques, the destiny of millions of people who remain, strangers, is at stake”.
Afterward, when that mayhem destroyed any bourgeois institutions, Lenin would begin to try to turn the power of the Bolsheviks, along with Felix Dezhershinsky and the Cheka, into hegemonic power. The Red Army would win the civil war. Stalin would end the chaos, persecute the opposition: he would blame everybody as a Trotskyist to get rid of any kind of resistance, and in that way, purge after purge Stalin will consolidate the counterrevolution against the Liberal revolution of February 1988, and the totalitarianism would be the unique outcome from those turbulent years.”
If we are going to talk about the Cuban feat, I invite you to look, objectively, and you will find that Batista’s government was a corrupt, weak, almost fallen government. Batista’s army was never really willing to engage in combat.
The famous battle of Santa Clara in Cuba has more to do with the history of the demoralization and desertion of Batista’s army than with the triumph of El Che, who always proved to be a terrible military strategist.
“The armored train was not carrying shock troops, but dozens of engineers, with the objective of repairing bridges and roads destroyed by the rebels. According to the memoirs of Eloy Gutiérrez Menoyo: “ ‘Descarriar al tren’ surely formed part of the plan for a skirmish, since when arriving at the hill of Capiro, the train had been sold to Che Guevara by the military forces of Batista, in the person of Colonel Florentino Rosell, for the value of 350 thousand dollars. The train would not have been ambushed and captured but ‘bought’ by Che from Colonel Florentino Rosell. Rossel, on the same day of the battle, would have retired to carry out to gambling activities.”
The failure of the Granma Yacht has raised another myth: “But the results were sad, far removed from the utopia of those who got to the Gramma. The dream never came true. The ship did not reach port. Eighty-two young men embarked, and 12 survived the betrayal and the bombing.”
Leo Tolstoy says, “The correlation of causes is incomprehensible to human reason, but the need to find it out is innate… people who do not deepen the reason of feelings, they need of grasping the first coincidence that impresses them to exclaim: here is the cause.”
Hugo Chávez built his epic on fallacies “El Caracazo” it was a spark that ignites the prairie. The two attempted coups in 1992 the admirable firsts civic-military attempt to seize power.
Hugo Chávez’s restoration to power by a heroic civic-military (again) movement in April 2002 and the defeat of “El Paro Petrolero became in epics deeds.” I know, A lot of Venezuelans will say, that’s a lie. But it’s the official truth, the truth that is rolling around the world. The fact is that you are told about those constructs at every moment in any forum when you try to point out the fascist and totalitarian character of Chavismo.
Maduro is building his epic with economic warfare and economic blockade. Many of us know that He is a failure and a Chávez legacy but His lie turned into truth by the apparatus, is being propagated and sustained by the São Paulo international, a sort of new Comintern.
Conclusion: the propaganda and agitation very expertly executed by Aparaticks, distorts the assaults on power by over-dimensioning them, turning them into epics.
The world wants myth, not history.
The world wants legend, not truth.
That is very clear to the Fellows Travellers.
