00:00Welcome back to Tell Us Through English. We go at this moment live to Caracas as an alpha
00:09movement. The Congregation Social Movement is gathering in Venezuela. Let's listen to
00:15its Secretary General Render Pena. First, Bolivar spoke about the balance in the universe,
00:24which today should be the idea of a multi-polar world. From the ALBA movement, we are making an
00:36effort to make that a reality. They try to impose a reality on us regarding the international
00:44system that it should be made of states. And within the states, peoples and movements are
00:59not in the equation of domination to understand the international system. Movements do not make
01:06part of it. Partisanly part of it. Internal pressure groups do not make part of it because
01:14it's not the interest of the dominant making the advancement socially. And those who propose
01:26this theory, they say that, in theory, dominating the state is the first and utmost objective
01:37of any political action. But if states are important, political social movements are even more important
01:49because they are the soul of the nation. So strengthening the soul of a nation is to strengthen the political
01:57equation of an organization and political people's mobilization. Therefore, I say this because for countries
02:15and states and states for whom such popular movements became a government suddenly became invisible, because
02:26then we start to separate what we are in essence, what Venezuela is all about, Nicaragua, Cuba. It is a popular
02:38movement that took over power. So it's not them and us, but it's just us, which we have accomplished with
02:49inspiration, unity with Chavez, Commander Daniel, Co-President Rosario taking political power in each of our countries. Our
03:04leaders did that. The leaders did that. The leaders did that. The leaders did that. The leaders did that. So the
03:13cradle would be a political party and on a street, on a territory. So, beloved, inspiration from these leaders, whom all of them follow
03:32the believers' teachings, they become leaders of us. They bring a contribution to a polite, a multi-centered world. Today, as we celebrate the National
03:55Rebella Day in Cuba. It is a coincidence, of course, that we had this meeting today. It was not meant to coincide. I mean, that
04:06other movimiento or other movement would meet on exactly the same day as Cuba celebrates national liberation.
04:17What happens in Cuba inspires Latin America because Cuba started the flame in Latin America, at least, because what happened on July the 26th, 1953, that heroic, undefeated strength of Fidel Castro and
04:42Castro, is the flame in the prairie. The theoretical analysis, which some people would say does not apply. I think this time it does apply because, summing up,
05:11if policy is the art of possible, we need to make sure what is it that we cannot do in order to make policy real. We can never forget the fact that the enemy is willing to go to whatever length. And it's not just that we are not willing to do whatever, but we do mind about consequences.
05:40And if we don't, we would be like them and we are not like the right fascists in Latin America. But how to tackle their influence. And there's a phrase I want to share with you because I talk too much about stopping the enemy from advancing and stopping the enemy from advancing.
06:07And there's a phrase I don't know.
06:08I don't know.
06:09I don't know.
06:10I don't know.
06:11It's part of the Oracle of the Warriors, which we learned from Commander Hugo Chavez.
06:15I don't know.
06:16I don't know.
06:17Whatever.
06:19I don't know.
06:20I don't know when you start.
06:21I don't know.
06:22I don't know.
06:23I don't know, but a couple ofWhuhグrules.
06:24I don't know, but unfortunately I do want to get back to the enemy and I think you guys are aspirants.
06:28We are as fans who you've as revenge these nations firm as you've been Russian, I think you all have to be Swedish,
06:32I'm sorry about Funderland can't wait until Богatrina
06:40it's from the Oracle of the warrior and I want to find the exact quote from the
06:52book he said whatever happens we will overcome means what they had an
07:02antecedent and that precedent was we need to put everything on the line we would
07:21have we we would have triumph it's not that because of a divine condition whatever
07:29we said to do will happen it's not that because the planets aligned and we will
07:35be lucky and whatever we say will happen that's not it the thing is for
07:42revolutionary people we get twice as hard we have the need to to make things
07:53happen the way we dream of we need to give our everything on political action
07:59that's the only way in which we can accomplish anything and given everything
08:07from us implies and I don't recall who said this those who fight the whole their
08:17whole lives are indispensable so the political struggle those who choose to
08:39wage a political struggle as a way of life our everyday life it implies first
08:50that our lives is not ours anymore we are offering our life to the good the great
09:02good as therefore our priorities are not just our personal priorities but
09:06collective priorities and it makes it a constant struggle not just when we gather
09:17but at all times when we leave this when we leave this meeting some might say okay I'm
09:27gonna switch to my personal agenda my private agenda I'm gonna meet with my
09:32family which of course is valid and then I will forget about whatever we had
09:37agreed at the meeting and perhaps I will rethink about all that again at the next
09:45summit or whatever next meeting or in 15 days or whenever we might have agreed to
09:54meet each other but during that time between meeting a meeting I will not be
09:58doing enough but some of us and I think we understood this with Hugo Chavez some of
10:07us need to devote our whole life so that the rest of humanity can actually
10:13accomplish some degree of happiness and in leaving our skin on the line we might be
10:23overlooking many aspects of our lives we might be making mistakes of course but if one
10:33thing we cannot afford to do is to surrender in the political battle because us we together are with a
10:48the containment wall against the fascist Zionist right to prevent it from
10:57exterminating our peoples and it'll depend a great deal on whatever we can do to be
11:05that contingent wall but so that we may evolve to an offensive stage because
11:14resistance is okay because we are preventing the enemy from making any advance but
11:22not but if I don't make any advance on my own it wouldn't be good so it's on
11:35chapter 12 of the article of a warrior I suggest you look up you look it up for yourself I think the
11:44book has like 21 chapters oh it has 36 chapters sorry so if you go up the article of the word you
12:00would get all the chapters but this this is from chapter 12 when commander huge
12:06chavez spoke to us of whatever happens we will overcome it was not just an optimism
12:15statement because anyone could interpret that as sheer optimism but it was realistic and on this 12th
12:29chapter he says it's enough you have spoke you have waited for a long time you've decided to wait for
12:42things to carry on to retake their natural course but that person has advanced more than it was
12:51necessary has step over everyone's dignity and on its way many tears of frustration have been shed and
13:00that entity does not repent so you should cut that situation short so face this situation prevent them
13:13from making any more advanced otherwise innocent people will be suffering the
13:21despotism of this entity if your shield is not enough use your spear if yours if it weren't enough
13:30use your sword so risk losing everything in that combat if you do that you will always be victorious
13:40whatever happens and i believe that that's our political mission of the alba
