For
many, it deals with a different world within the progressive
community. For others however, at least for me, the current
processes in the region are following the steps of the founders
of the revolutionary theory.
If we take a look at this legacy, we know that figures like Karl
Marx, Frederick Engles or Vladimir Ilich Lenin, the revolution
was not catechism or dogma, but a body of live ideas closely
related to reality and the characteristics of each nation and of
course, far from idealism and strange interpretations.
The Cuban Revolution itself, born out of objective and
subjective emergencies of our people is precisely the first
regional example of the consequent application of those
transformation principles of each place and specific moments.
But within the budgets of the 21st Century Socialism that before
any demand of those that act in consequence with its universe,
the calls for efficiency are true elements.
It deals with a process of change, including our own Revolution,
requires showing at each moment, by imperative political
elements, its superiority in relation with the capitalist system
in working towards an increase in the quality of life of its
people.
Lenin himself, several years prior to the Bolshevik victory in
Russia explained that one of the first tasks for the new State
would be to demonstrate to the masses that to improve the
quality of life would be a priority for the new authorities.
To
make this a reality, there must be efficiency in the economic
and social sphere.
Economies must contribute with each nations´ key resources that
materially support the advancement.
Then the social aspect because there must be a radical change in
the relations of production and the ways of distribution in
order to eradicate the old practice of favoring the reduced
number of exploiters with the consequent exclusion of the
majority.
Efficiency is a common word in many speeches carried out by
progressive Latin American leaders of today and something that
is expanding and consolidating in the region including our own
current economic transformation process.
