Jesús Nery Barrios: Éxitosa Jornada Nacional Moral y Luces dio inicio en Mérida

Marzo 2, 2007

En el marco del inicio de la Jornada Nacional Moral y Luces en el Estado Mérida, con participación de unos 200 entusiastas brigadistas (estudiantes de primaria, secundaria y universitarios, profesores, miembros de Consejos Comunales) que en el futuro se espera formen cuadros políticamente capacitados para desempeñar funciones públicas con una ética socialista libre del flagelo de la corrupción se llevó a cabo, el pasado martes 27 de febrero, en el Complejo Deportivo 5 Aguilas Blancas, una primera sesión de información en torno a seis mesas de trabajo, cuyos temas fueron: Ideal socialista; Nueva era - los cinco motores de la revolución; Sistema socialista; Gestión pública y comprensión, Seguridad y defensa popular; y Árbol de las tres raíces.

Por: Jesús María Nery Barrios

Dichas Jornadas contaron con la valiosísima participación del Doctor Franz J. T. Lee y de Jutta Schmitt, quienes expusieron sus amplios conocimientos en la mesa de trabajo número tres, El Sistema socialista, junto al Profesor Roger Gutiérrez.

El Dr. Lee, quien fue invitado a estas trascendentales Jornadas por José Aguilar, Presidente de Fundacite-Mérida, es docente de pre y post grado en la Escuela de Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad de Los Andes desde hace 27 años, y tuvo a su cargo la difícil pero cada día más necesaria respuesta a la pregunta ¿Qué es el socialismo científico y filosófico?, basándose en sus 45 años de profundos estudios sobre el marxismo y el socialismo en la Universidad de Francfort en Alemania y a lo largo de su carrera como educador y luchador social, la cual lo ha colocado a la vanguardia de la guerra de ideas que actualmente se está dando desde Venezuela hacia el mundo.

La sesión la abrió el Profesor Roger Gutiérrez con una excelente explicación de los conceptos básicos de la economía política, como lo son: las fuerzas productivas, los medios de producción, las relaciones de producción - que no son otra cosa que las relaciones de propiedad de los medios de producción -, y el modo de producción. Gutiérrezr enfatizó que el factor determinante del progreso humano a lo largo de la historia ha sido el hecho de que los seres humanos se encuentran en la necesidad de producir su vida materialmente por medio del trabajo para garantizar su supervivencia física y su reproducción biológica como especie y que, por ende, los demás factores que han incidido y pueden incidir en el progreso de la humanidad, como lo son factores geográficos favorables, ideas o líderes aptos, figuran en un plano secundario, aún cuando pueden adquirir mucho peso. Además, llamó la atención sobre el interesante hecho que cuando las fuerzas productivas chocan con las relaciones de producción, este choque puede desembocar o en una revolución o en una represión fascista, según la constelación de fuerzas sociales del momento. Este tipo de choque, según el exponente, es una expresión de la lucha de clases. También aclaró que lo que determina una clase social en primer lugar es su posición en el proceso productivo, esto es, si sus miembros son propietarios de los medios de producción, o si sólo son propietarios de su propia fuerza de trabajo.

Seguidamente, el Dr. Franz Lee intervino con un denso recorrido a través de la historia de las huellas del socialismo, estrechamente relacionadas a la historia de la acumulación originaria de capital como su potencial negación. Explicó que cada proceso en la historia nace, evoluciona, llega a su clímax, involuciona y luego alcanza su plena realización que no es otra cosa que el momento de su muerte. Enfatizó que el hecho que el capitalismo finalmente esté globalizado significa que estamos viviendo los momentos de su involución e inminente muerte, por lo que no es suficiente invocar las ideas del socialismo pre-científico o utópico para poder negar y superar el capitalismo globalizado. El punto de partida no puede ser otro que el socialismo científico y filosófico como fue concebido por Carlos Marx y Federico Engels, ya que nació junto al propio capitalismo, como su negación dialéctica.

En este sentido, Lee explicó que la identificación del socialismo pasa por la identificación del capitalismo, el cual se caracteriza por sus cinco pilares: La explotación económica, la dominación política, la discriminación social, la militarización universal y la alienación humana. Por ende, según el Profesor Lee, el socialismo es la negación del capitalismo, es un categórico ¡no a la explotación económica!, ¡no a la dominación política!, ¡no a la discriminación social!, ¡no a la militarización universal! y ¡no a la alienación humana! Además llamó la atención sobre el hecho que el concepto de revolución siempre apunta hacia atrás y es el concepto por excelencia de la burguesía, quien fue la única clase social en la historia que ha logrado una revolución de la base económica y la superestructura política y social, previo un gigantesco esfuerzo por desarrollar una nueva lógica, ciencia y cosmovisión que lograra tumbar el viejo orden feudal-agrícola existente en aquél entonces.

Advirtió que el propio Marx estuvo fascinado de la explosión de las fuerzas productivas en el capitalismo y su capacidad para autorevolucionarse constantemente. En este sentido, invocó la Creación como concepto correlativo y a la vez superior a el de la revolución, como camino y norte hacia la superación del capitalismo y hasta del socialismo, hacia la emancipación humana.

Una vez finalizadas las exposiciones, en el posterior ciclo de debate y discusión que duró varias horas, aparte de intervenciones que pedían por una profundización de conceptos o ideas expuestas por los dos ponentes, destacó la inquietud de los brigadistas acerca de cómo establecer concretamente, ahora mismo, aquí en Venezuela, el socialismo que tanto queremos y necesitamos.

A ésto se sumó la interrogante: cómo hacer y dónde empezar para que los venezolanos dejemos atrás nuestra vieja mentalidad cuartarrepublicana, nuestros carácteres corrompidos por el sistema capitalista aquí establecido, con nuestro egoísmo, individualismo y ventajismo ante el prójimo.

La conclusión principal a que llegó la mesa de trabajo número tres en respuesta a estas interrogantes fue que el punto de partida para que empecemos a construir el socialismo tiene que ser cada uno de nosotros mismos, emprendiendo un esfuerzo serio por estudiar sin descanso, liberar nuestros cerebros de tanta basura que el sistema nos ha impuesto, negar sistemáticamente los anti-valores del capitalismo en cada pensamiento y cada acción, y ser fieles a nosotros mismos, a nuestros sueños diurnos juveniles, enriqueciéndolos conscientemente por la dimensión anti-capitalista, socialista y emancipadora.

Una vez terminada la sesión de las mesas cada relator expuso ante la plenaria los debates y conclusiones de cada una de ellas, asi como sus sugerencias y propuestas, las cuales serán elevadas ante la Comisión Presidencial para que sean implementadas como iniciativas surgidas del estado Mérida para el arranque de los motores socialistas a nivel nacional.

De esta manera, en un cálido ambiente revolucionario, solidario, participativo y creativo, en un bello y soleado día en la capital más alta de Venezuela, la Mérida cultural y estudiantil, concluyó esta primera Jornada que todos esperamos sea una de muchas gestas heróicas de este puebloen su camino hacia su emancipación creativa y su creatividad emancipatoria, bajo la valiosa orientación de su líder Hugo Chávez Frías, pensando y haciendo su historia de, por y para sí mismos.

Who are we?
 
 
 


We are a diverse group of international scholars and students who attempt to act and to understand for ourselves our complex "History", the "World" in which we live, the existence of our Thoughts and Thinking, but also our possible Transcendence toward Real, True Emancipation.

PANDEMONIUM DECLARATION

Emancipatory Manifesto

Concerning Our Science & Philosophy

(Extracts)

By Franz J. T. Lee

24th July, 2000.

***********************************

"A spectre is haunting the Internet. It's called emancipation. Web surfers of the world, join us. You have everything to gain especially independence of thought and mind."

(Carl Zimmerman)

1. About Us:

We are a group of international students, graduates, teachers, scholars, writers, artists, authors, inventors, free lance workers, scientists, engineers, farmers and independent entrepreneurs, interested in Science and Philosophy, the Arts and Humanities. Some of us, ever since the famous Fall of the infamous Wall of Berlin, have begun to review Science, Philosophy & History, began to develop our own Science and Philosophy, our own views about Praxis and Theory, about Nature and Society.

Specifically, we concentrated on other ways of Thinking & Thought, on new Logical Methods and on our own Epistemology, Ethics and Aesthetics. We formulated the emancipatory guide-line:

Do a n d Think AND Excel Of, By and For Ourselves, Here, Now and Forever!

Ever since 1989 till today, among many other things, we seriously studied our world system, the fatherland, official Science and Philosophy, the New World Order, Technology and Economics; day and night, in debates, chats and lectures, reading, studying, writing and discussing, as far as our abilities and capabilities could reach and fathom reality, we penetrated and interpenetrated the essence of so-called History, and we came to the conclusion, to the horrible discovery, that Labour in all its forms is the umbilical cord, is the very essence of Alienation, is Alienation per se.

This cognition and recognition opened vast vistas to our Science and Philosophy, unravelled "open secrets", brought many an enigma into broad daylight. We began to reap what we have sown, the fruits of self-action, self-thinking, of self-excellence, in nuce, of self-emancipation.

Our Thinking and Thought, our Intellect and Reason, were blossoming, blooming and flowering, we became more natural, more social, more historic. Our Thinking Methods, our Logics became refined, our acts and thoughts oscillated like magnet-needles, hovered like the Sword of Damocles over a moribund and dying culture. We perceived things which we never ever have dreamt of before, we did things which we never ever could have imagined before, and our thinking registered relations which have been obliterated by millennia of exploiting smoke, dominating smog and discriminatory putrefied air.

A few of us, fell by the wayside, like house-pigeons, they could not reach the cosmic heights and ontic velocities of the messenger doves; we bewail their departure, and wish them success in all their future endeavours. We became quantitatively less, yet qualitatively more. Yet, we marched on, we pulled ourselves out of the morass, by grasping our own hair, out of the stagnating, skunklike mud of indoctrinated ignorance and manipulated arrogance. We became excellent, we began to excel, to gain immanent transcendental cruising speed.

As such, we reached the end of the so-called Second Millennium. We knew and we know that we cannot "conscientize", cannot organize, mobilize or teach anybody or anything, who or which does not find itself/herself/himself already on the excellent emancipatory orbit. In fact, we never tried to do this -- we left this educative endeavour to Christians, Marxists, Liberals, Teachers and Professors. We appreciate and respect their vocation and work, but we have other emancipatory objectives, subjectives and transjectives.

2. The Current State of Affairs

Being part and parcel of this globe, striving towards cosmic depths and heights, directions and perspectives, towards active levels, towards ontic degrees, other intellectual elegance and rational fragrance, towards new, original mensions, towards more excellent surpassing, we decided also to be "in", to be "cool", to know what is "related". We entered Cyberspace, we sped forward on the Information Highway, we embraced the WEB, we became internetted, we went global.

We designed Home Pages, organized Discussion Forums, we e-mailed, we chatted, we chattered!

This metamorphosis had a quantitative effect; we expanded globally, we reached strange sites, new pages, new panoramas opened in front of our eyes; many illusions were deleted; our knowledge was enriched and saved, we encountered new versions, met beta-beings, downloaded Classics and De Luxes. We experienced crashes, viruses, cracking and hacking, pecking and cackling.

We are being confronted with millennium relations, with a new species of beings, with other affirmations, negations and contradictions. Our modus operandi changes, our modus vivendi relates in different, triverse ways, our Invisible, Invulnerable, Invincible Principle dawns on the Galactic Horizon. Emancipation gains new, authentic, original mensions.

The chaff is being sifted away, the natural, fresh, germinating wheat triumphs over its cloned inmate; the emancipators identify themselves, and the alphas, betas and omegas spew global, globalized venom; they only see themselves, can see nothing else anymore, except their own cloned phantoms in their virtual real world. Formal Logics has reached ist historic objective: A = A. Only B or C or Z can still visualize A, Non-A, B, or anything else for that matter.

We reached the Alpha and Omega of History, of the Fatherland, of Globalization. And Now, And Here, What is To be Done? What and How Can Be Thought? What and How and Why can be Emancipated?

We have crossed the "Historical Rubicon", now let's Reach For The Stars: per aspera ad astra!

3. ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC EMANCIPATORY "RULES AND REGULATIONS"

Prelude

Why do we need rules, norms, regulations, statutes, constitutions and laws?

Are they not preserving Labour, the status quo? Are they not intrinsic elements of the functioning Global State? Part and Parcel of the Political Domination of "Big Brother"?

Emancipation, Excellence, Transcendence, by definition, cannot be achieved within the static framework of a systemic set of restrictions, of do's and don'ts. However, on the other hand, are our scientific and philosophic methods really so chaotic, our Epistemology and Logics truly so anarchic, just chosen at random, mere trial-and-error equivocations? Certainly not.

Until now, in Praxis, we were guided by certain cosmic landmarks; in Theory, we had certain ontic guide-lines, in Excellence, we detected certain transcendental clues, motives, motifs. Generally, we identify with scientific precision, incision; we differentiate with decisiveness, determinedness. We triversify, superate in excellence, in emancipation.

Thus, are these not valid in the praxical "organization" and theoretical approximation of our correspondence, inter-communication, inter-relations, chats, debates, discussions, "membership", "guests" and "visitors"?

In reality, we need not, should not need any "rules" and "regulations"; what is quintessential for us are our own cosmic nature, our own ontic existence, our own excellent transcendence; these are our real, true, guiding "guardian angels". However, because we are still on our way, are still stumbling over identifiable, stony levels, are still falling in different degrees into rocky crevices and pot-holes, and are still swept away in triverse mensiones by stormy hurricanes, for these reasons, and only for these, we urgently need certain guide-lines, to keep us on track, to keep us in balance, onboard, safe and sane.

Concerning levels, degrees and mensions, we are not only unified, we are this, but we are also differentiated, and some of us, are also triversified. We do not act identically, we do not think totally differentiated, we do not excel in historic, emancipatory spheres. In simple text: we find ourselves at different levels, degrees and mensions of consciousness. As stated before, we're all on our way; we assist, we help, we encourage, we direct each other. This must be learned, must be ruly, regulated. Some of us are more "advanced". Of course, this is not a privilege, it's only that some of us are already since a very long time hot on the trail. Some of us are newcomers, however, we are introducing new, fresh air into the debates, generating innovative acts, thoughts and life energy.

4. OUR GUIDE-LINES

General

Whosoever sees it/her/himself as something, someone striving towards emancipation, towards a cosmic-ontic, natural-social relationship of and with History, necessarily, at first, has to study her/his "home-work", has to cognize and recognize certain "home-truths"; below are exemplified the four major ones:

A. The famous "Gretchenfrage" of Goethe's Faust ; also of Napoleon to Laplace: Not, How's business? But, How's religion?

Thought (I think that ....) and Knowledge (I know that ....) are anaemic and endemic to Belief (I believe that ....). With due respect, who is a staunch believer should put on her/his religious, theologian shoes, which certainly do fit c comfortably well, should move very fast faraway from us, and keep her/himself at a safe distance, securely hidden away from the onslaught of the "Götterdämmerung", of the devastating typhoons and roaring hurricanes of our Science and Philosophy. Who has read and studied Ludwig Feuerbach's "The Essence of Christianity" and Bertrand Russell's "Why I am not a Christian", can cautiously try to approximate us again. Our Science and Philosophy have as a quintessential pre-condition the superation of all demons, angels, gods, devils, ghosts and spirits in our very "souls". Item: firstly, we study, think about, know these fantasies, but we don't believe in them. We don't allow them to haunt, to terrorize, to master us. And we cannot allow religious "abracadabra" and fantastic "tohu wa bohu" to ruin and sabotage our stringent, illuminating discussions, debates and chats.

B. The famous endogenic-systemic "Quo Vadis?" Issue. Whither Goest Thou?

Shakespeare made it very clear that there are more things in heaven and on Earth than only those things that are dreamt of daily in our miserable "home-made" pseudo-philosophy.

Official education and dissocialization systematically had practically destroyed all our transcendental, fiery, youthful daydreams. They were replaced with endogenic, systemic, evolutionary, peaceful, second-hand merchandise, with "progress", with "change" only within the system, only here, and forever here. Amen! A galaxy of "ruling" norms, habits, behaviour patterns, customs, cultural heritage, tradition, rules, regulations, laws and constitutions, invented by all sorts of "rulers" across the millennia, forever guard that we never ever will dream about transcending the very limits of internal, systemic repose. They are the formal logical, moral,legal, humanistic watch-dogs of our Quo vadis, of our Future! Consequently, secondly, an emancipator has to clarify this issue, of, by, for her/himself. Otherwise, s(he) will never understand what transcendence, superation or excellence really and truly imply.

C. The "Ora et Labora", The Old Bailey and Tower Pray- and Work-Shop! The Alcatraz of "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" Syndrome. Welcome To The KKK Club!

Thirdly, who did not apprehend, comprehend what Labour is, would never be able to make a single, earthly analysis, worth of scientific and philosophic consideration, about transcendental emancipation; would not understand what the New World Order, what Globalization are all about. S(he) would never grasp the alienating essence of Work, of Labour; would forever fall into the fascist, nazi maelstrom of producing and reproducing an army of labourers; would keep the second-class, adopted, feminine "fellow-human-beings" in an inferior status, better in the kitchen, even in the age of informative cloning; and would drive unknowingly, in good belief, the rest of "humanity", in the name of "Freedom" and "Democracy", like Pavlov-Daisy-Sheep, straight into the Cathedral of New Worship of His Lordship "Big Brother".

D. The "Ecce Homo" Arrogance, The "Crown Of Creation", "The Highest Blossom Of Nature".

What A Man!

Man, the Creator of the Creator, the Lord of Creation.

Homo, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, The One, The Only, The One and Only, the Hen Kai Pan, the Unomnia.

A Great Man, with Great Ideas, from a Great Race; an Aryan, making Great History.

Our Saviour, the Almighty, the Redeemer -- A Christian, A Liberal, A Peace-Maker, A Democrat, A European, An American, A Communist, A Nazi, A Fascist, A Marxist, A Hegelian, A Terrorist.

Man, the generator of labour, the inventor of war, technology and conspiracy, the discoverer of world order, of money, capital and profits. The discriminator and violator of women, slaves, "niggers", Kaffirs, Coolies and Camel-Drivers.

5. CONCLUSION

Well, finally, somebody who still nurtures such "great ideas" cannot have a "great future" on our Home Pages, and surely s(he) will get into serious trouble with any real emancipator, a true historian, with us. In other words, in order to be excellent, we better get our actions and ideas very clear and precise concerning the wonderful, beautiful "human being", whom we want to "conscientize" and emancipate.
