Although it is true that since 1998 the international right with the submissive contest of the national right has set itself the goal of leaving Chávez. It is not a lie, that the direction of the then movement Fifth Republic - MVR - knew or knew - apparently - the possible scenarios that Venezuela would experience, from that same 1998. The matter was discovered and the challenge was then to pose with proposals and real actions, how could one step forward in that confrontation, which was safe. It was out of hand for the political leadership of the revolution, that in war warned, soldier is not killed. MVR and the PSUV forgot that.
It was not that MVR had simulated situations and constructed possible scenarios. No, it was that in slow motion and repeatedly; the MVR, through the public media, passed us videos of the situation that Chile lived with Allende. We also knew about the situation of the contras in Nicaragua. If there are doubts about how the United States deals with projects that are a threat to its geopolitical interests, there is Cuba, as an example of what the United States is looking for and what should be done from the country that is threatened; Cuba is a good example. What did Cuba do with health and medicine, for example? That war, Cuba resolved it with a planned health project, prioritized and very controlled to ensure the goal.
The blockade was a first and great option. In consecuense; Socialism had to fight with this blockade. It was easy to imagine or calculate, that if that had happened with Chile, that it only had copper and Nicaragua, that it had almost nothing; the situation in Venezuela had to be maximized with policies to mitigate, in the largest possible cases, the action that the right and the US would surely take.
The package of the first enabling laws put the car on the right and although Chávez knew the meaning of the laws, the political leadership seems not to. The right was activated and the process meant that the solution was reduced to a package of laws and actions not linked with a final product. The land law for example, remained in the expropriation of hundreds of thousands of hectares. It was largely assumed that the problem was idle land in private hands and it was not understood, that idle land and its recovery were a means (and not an end) to transform the model of agricultural production in the country. We saw, as the expropriations were announced and they were exhibited as a trophy (final product) that was not. The final product was endogenous agricultural production for direct consumption and agro-industry.
This idea was complemented with another half idea, which supposed that the credits were the other purpose and land and credits were distributed as ends and not as means. Food security became a big scam with billions of dollars in the hands of "entrepreneurs" and producers and the experience of Chile was erased with a barrel of oil over $ 100. The right waited in the bajadita with application of the Chilean libretto that supposedly was known, from the rows of the revolution.
Then came the installation of plants with assistance from the Iranian government. The purpose was to install plants. Again a means was transformed into a purpose: Build Plants. Finally you have processing plants of any kind, which are useless, because the raw material they require is not produced. There are corn plants that do not have corn and milk plants that do not have milk.
This war is particular, that our enemy needs oil and Venezuela does not cut off the supply of oil to the United States. It's more; the government would regret that the United States was not one of its oil buyers. Is a war known where the threatened country sells the fuel to the threat? What war is that and where did it happen?
As can be seen, this war is very particular and curious. If they are permanently crushed by the public media, it is war.
