In defending Chávez from "leftist attacks", this article (http://www.anonym.to/?http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_63347.shtml) by "Axis of logic" used this text from the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte:
The social revolution of the nineteenth century cannot take its poetry from the past but only from the future. It cannot begin with itself before it has stripped away all superstition about the past. The former revolutions required recollections of past world history in order to smother their own content. The revolution of the nineteenth century must let the dead bury their dead in order to arrive at its own content.
Is that so that I can substitute, for instance, twenty first century for the textual nineteenth century and have a fresh start of a new revolutionary theory for a new revolution?
