For Carlos Fonseca Terán .
Among Arab countries, there is one in which the revolution came true, but for forty-two, led by a young army officer, Muammar Gaddafi . This revolution, which ended the monarchy inherited by colonialism complete with flag, guaranteed for the first time in Libya equitable distribution of wealth and prosperity for its inhabitants. It was the first experience of direct democracy or direct exercise of power by the citizens and property carried out by social workers.
A swarm of peaceful uprisings shook the Arab countries today with a monarchical governments, authoritarian others, all capitalists. Imperialism, the first surprise, soon to formulate its strategy in this regard: to destabilize the entire coast, the only two Arab countries which have systems non-social pleasure and that oppose the foreign policy of Western powers, Libya and Syria , so that this destabilization seems part of the regional situation. With a small problem: wear the path of peaceful destabilization for failure in such cases (unlike the rest) objective conditions that support it, the agents of imperialism come to the assembly of civil wars. It is no coincidence that it is precisely Libya the only country where the political crisis has become a civil war, Syria go down the same road, and that only in these two countries have submitted such a circumstance.
ever, Algeria and Egypt were among the countries opposed to the imperialist interests, but both have long left behind its revolutionary orientation and for the second, became a staunch ally of U.S. imperialism. The best proof of this difference between the first two countries mentioned and the latter two is that of the four, only Libya and Syria have always been the target of political attacks and U.S. military and Israel. In the case of Libya, had been temporarily, with a bold, large-scale maneuver in its foreign policy, curbing the imperial hostility against them and break international isolation, which is why many people left baffled, placing Gaddafi as a new ally in the global reaction, which served for a new type of insulation after the North African country, a condition favorable for the imperialism attacked him. No one attacks his friends, unless they have ceased to be, as in the case of United States with the Taliban in Afghanistan but Gaddafi who associated with the worldwide right, accuse him exactly the opposite of who went from being the enemy, to be a friend of imperialism. Go friend is, who the imperialist bombs have already killed two children and three grandchildren.
Gaddafi accused of allying with imperialism in the past ten years, based on that for the sake of lifting the embargo against Libya (achieving its goal) , compensation to the families victims of terrorist acts attributed to Libya, but for which the country does not recognize any link, has deployed a diplomatic offensive right-wing governments before attacking him, gave 10% of corporate actions for Libyan oil exploration to foreign companies , which is why right-wing governments in Europe and the United States accounted for their expressions of friendship. But that percentage Libyan oil is far from meeting the ambitions of transnational corporations, as evidenced by the massive attack by the imperialist powers in search of the other 90%, which incidentally is the state, because the socialist nature of the Libyan regime.
Gaddafi, now in full deployment of its policy of opening to the West, was at the time of starting the war of aggression against his country, promoting unity of the peoples of Africa , Asia and Latin America in defense of their common interests and therefore with it, organizing a bloc of Southern countries to deal with and counteract the hegemony of existing power blocs in the world, making it available to large financial resources. Strange ally sought imperialism.
There are people left who accuses Gadhafi of being a dictator. It is surprising that critics of political parties oppose them to be abolished, that those who question the representative democracy, the only democracy can be regarded as itself to disqualify any political model.
The armed opposition in Libya up (literally) the flag of the monarchy overthrown in 1969, so hateful like all the Arab world today, and as they had the people mired in poverty while the royal squandered the country's resources, otherwise, their claims are so vague as the origin of its members. The only thing that is clear is their affinity pro-Western, at least for the duration of the speech and the need for the support they receive from the great capitalist powers. Remember that Taliban and Al Qaeda before being the most dangerous public enemies and declared by the West at the time, were the good guys of imperialism in the war in Afghanistan to overthrow the revolutionary regime there was established.
Libya should be recognized that, for whatever reason, there has been a massive uprising, although very minor and geographically focused in the East, no doubt connected with tribal and regional rivalries of old data. However, the nature of a mass popular uprising does not revolutionary, nor does it stop being a revolutionary regime it opposes. For example, the counterrevolution in Nicaragua of the eighties was a peasant uprising (promoted, organized and funded by the U.S., but rising at last, as in the case of Libya) , and why not force military who fought the Sandinista Revolution was revolutionary, to be kept the existing regime in Nicaragua. In the same way, the mass uprisings (in this case mostly peaceful) that occurred in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe in the late eighties, there was nothing revolutionary, because what they did was to restore capitalism , for much more than a few fools in the ranks of the left predicted otherwise. These sectors were -go- match exactly the same ultra-left reformist and revolutionary character now attributed to armed opposition in Libya, called opponents irreconcilable, which however, have always combined their visceral hatred of all revolutions that they did not want or could not do, and fantastic speed nonexistent.
When a counterrevolutionary movement acquired a mass character, may or may not connected with errors in the revolutionary process, but even in the first case, it can not be reason not to support the process in its most difficult and even less to support their internal and external enemies, as is making the reformist left and the far left in the case of Libya, so not so surprisingly Coincidentally, as we have seen. No one can be against imperialist intervention in Libya and at the same time, support the civil war in that country are being supported by the intervention that they requested and held, while claiming its intensification. Being against the intervention is to support those who are facing it and to those who are dropping bombs of the actors, not those who support it from within and if they complain because something is deemed insufficient bombing.
But the most interesting thing is the support that the armed opposition in Libya is receiving from the same Arab governments against which their people are rebelling, which are being massacred by them without anyone to create worry-fly zones and by bombing the civilian population to defend the alleged bombing of others, for the simple reason that these countries, oil is in the hands of transnationals, and popular movements in default shall cease to be the good guys from the moment -if it comes- that dare to touch those economic interests. Preventing this is one reason why U.S. and European Union decided to abandon its Arab allies in Tunisia and Egypt to Fortunately, ordering them to leave office.
In Libya there is a civil war and therefore are dead, who are presented as massacred civilians (many dead, and not a picture of a corpse is as fake as the weapons of mass destruction Iraq ) , while in Arab countries governed by those who for reasons "humanitarian" intervention in support Libya, there is no war and yet there are dead, which is itself evidence that these have been massacred. But there is nothing there to go to loot.
