In 2006, Chavez defeated Manuel Rosales in proportion 60-40. Very similar to what was this past Sunday. At that time, depression was great. A friend to whom I deeply appreciate this gesture gave me this letter from a friend reflecting on that defeat. I think it applies now. I share that analysis with you now. Suitable figures to yesterday, and handed her some editing because of their size and reality, but the rest, here's all alike. I do not know if it's any consolation to you, but this is my small contribution to remember that never-NEVER- must stop working for a better future, no matter the odds.
My Dear:
Last night the people spoke. Venezuela, which established the most votes on Sunday Venezuela is that we have, that somehow inherited. It is time to accept it. It is our reality. No doubt every people has the ruler they deserve. Perhaps what bothers us most is that there are countries and unfortunately Chavez wants one. 54% of Venezuelans deserve Chavez.
This has an explanation. 54% of Venezuelans are traditional and 46% are modern. This segmentation is clearly defined in the book Poverty Behind Luis Pedro Spain and other great authors. I highly recommend it to buy and read this book. I think it's the best way to understand Venezuela today and the next few years. It is a masterpiece.
traditionalists in general are resistant to modernity and feel they have no control over their reality and destiny. Believe that opportunities come and not seek depend on luck and chance. They also feel that to achieve something you need someone's help. They have very little formal education, most have not completed high school. For them to tutoring the state is vital to change their situation. For them, Chavez is the state and view him as a father who imposes discipline with authoritarianism.
The study Poverty Behind , they make up 60%. The Modern recognize there is a personal control over their destiny and future. They are confident in themselves and others as individuals. Relying in part on the institutions and that makes uprooted, with a clearly individualistic. Modernism is a result of a process of raising a family, socialization and education. Modernism is anchored in the individual's interaction with environment groups as labor and the public. The Moderns learn to compete and accept its consequences. They have learned to win and lose. According to the study Poverty Behind Us 40%.
Modern For us it is very difficult to accept what happened last night. So I invite you to understand that Chavez governs for Traditional and Modern despises. Everything he does for the traditional. However, these same traditional reject Communism in Cuba and 90%.
I think Chavez attracts contempt Traditional to Modern and therefore we constantly attacks. At Modern we do not like to tell us what we must do, much less coming from the state. That bothers us and makes us react emotionally rather than rationally. Chavez keeps at bay the fear among Modern concepts such as communism, indoctrination, war, violence, restriction of freedoms etc. And we love to eat the Modern cap with these concepts because we reject deeply. That makes us react emotionally exaggerated. That's the power that Chavez has on us and use it daily. We do not learn ... We have terrorized psychologically. That makes us erratic and irrational.
I propose that we be more rational and less emotional to face what comes. As much as Chavez wants that there is only the Modern Country and will continue to exist in Venezuela Production class. That is our power: work, business, family, education. Once Chavez to try to give them the traditional one of these ingredients, Modern and stop back support.
personally believe that we will not communism, that they will not indoctrinate our children, we do not take away private property or freedom of expression. No doubt there will be surgical strikes to certain business groups and politicians because they are inconvenient for the regime. But apart from that I think comes more from same .... Pure straw, inefficiency, incapacity, a corruption, incoherence and stupidity!
The big problem is that Chávez has a large ranch in the head! It's a brilliant man, but unfortunately is poor and ashamed. That is his great weakness. Peo sweat and pure as they say in Goch. Electoral and political phenomenon who can not govern or manage. That is their disgrace. From the traditional is the most traditional of all! So he surrounds himself with so much mediocrity and incompetence. Modernism as terrified!
Of course, now more than ever we must make Social Responsibility to help many more Traditional ways to, to inject modernity. Do not neglect this ... We owe it to Venezuela.
us accept our reality, we are now more rational and accept no more distractions of Chavez ... The do not deserve!
Let now the largest minority. The work of the silent but very effective. The low profile but high caliber. We will defend our territories and spaces and we create new ones. We will evangelize the Currency to transform Venezuela.
I know we are sad, but life must go on. Now we are with our family, and work for our country. (This bit is Juan Carlo.)
Carpe Diem
César
