ALL,
I SINCERELY HOPE THAT WE HAVEN'T BECOME SO JADED, CYNICAL, AND DISILLUSIONED BY OUR OWN DASHED DREAMS FOR FUNDAMENTAL SOCIAL CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE CAN'T FULLY APPRECIATE AND EMBRACE THE ABSOLUTELY PROFOUND TRANSFORMATIONS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN EGYPT AT THIS VERY MOMENT.
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL FOLKS:
REVOLUTION
NOT SINCE CHE AND FIDEL AND MILLIONS OF OTHER CUBANS TRIUMPHANTLY CONVERGED ON HAVANA JANUARY 1, 1959 HAVE I OR THE WORLD SEEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE DISPLAY OF GENUINE MASS RESISTANCE AND REVOLUTIONARY FERVOR FOR FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES FROM THE GROUND UP IN A NATION OPPRESSED BY A BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP.
THIS IS A GREAT INSPIRATION TO THE WORLD AND WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET HOW TRULY IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY THIS TREMENDOUS HISTORICAL MOMENT REALLY IS
ALL THAT BEING SAID IT IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT THAT THE MASSES AND LEADERS OF THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION DON'T ALLOW THE UNITED STATES IN COLLUSION WITH THE EGYPTIAN ARMY AND SUCH NEFARIOUS POLITICAL FIGURES AS CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT OMAR SULIEMAN-- LONG TIME MILTARY TOOL AND SURROGATE OF THE CIA IN EGYPT--TO DOMINATE AND CONTROL THE SO-CALLED 'TRANSITION' TO DEMOCRACY IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS. IF THE REVOLUTIONARIES REMAIN UNITED AND CLEAR OVER THE IDEOLOGICAL DIRECTION AND CONTENT OF NEW DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS THAT THEY CREATE ALONE WITH THE PEOPLE'S NATIONAL CONSENT THEN THEY HAVE A REAL CHANCE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT AND SUSTAIN A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT AND PROGRAM THAT IS NOT IN ANY WAY BEHOLDEN TO THE IMPERIALIST AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE UNITED STATES, THE REACTIONARY WING OF THE ARMY (THOSE OFFICERS WHO ARE STILL LOYAL TO MUBARAK AND SULIEMAN ABOVE AND BEYOND THE WISHES AND DEMANDS OF THE EGYPTIAN MASSES), OR THE RIGHTWING ISLAMIC FORCES OUTSIDE EGYPT IN THE MIDDLE EAST GENERALLY WHO WANT TO CONTROL AND DOMINATE THE DIRECTION AND CONTENT OF WHAT THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE DO AND SAY (I.E. IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA, SYRIA ETC.).
NEEDLESS TO SAY IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY TALL ORDER TO SAY THE LEAST BUT IF THE EGYPTIAN MASSES AND THEIR UNITED FRONT LEADERSHIP REMAIN DISCIPLINED, RESPONSIBLE, AND FOCUSED ON THE REAL STAKES IN THIS STRUGGLE THEY CAN AND WILL PREVAIL. AS IT ALWAYS IS IN ANY TRULY REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT WORTH SUPPORTING: IT'S ENTIRELY LEFT UP TO THEM--AND THEM ALONE-- TO MAKE IT WORK.
IN THE MEANTIME LET'S REMAIN ABSOLUTELY STALWART IN OUR INTENSE SUPPORT OF AND REVOLUTIONARY SOLIDARITY WITH THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE'S FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL TRANSORMATION!!
STAY TUNED...
