4. You're not alone. Believe it. The crowd had to be completely deeply moved, as well. n/t

Thank you for posting this amazing moment between Maduro, and the good people of Venezuela. passed to those of us who want to know about it, as human beings.

Hope the take-away was that they all feel they are still going to get it done, as that was their goal from the first, even before Hugo Chavez ran for the Presidency. As we have heard, the struggle WILL continue, even if they lost Chavez., as they said years ago, knowing how important it is.

It will take time to grow into the new situation, but they'd damned better get the room to continue their progress, or the right-wing in Venzuela and in this government will lose far more than a little good will from the people of the world, which is scarce for them now, growing scarcer by the moment.

I didn't want to post just bits and pieces of it, it's too touching and important. I think the people are going to carry on his vision, they've participated from the start and he was sure to include them, from the poorest of the poor. Those right-wing @#$@#$'s (you don't want to even imagine what I said there) can try with their dirty tricks and propaganda until the cows come home .... Chavez educated and empowered his people too much to succumb to that kind of bull, imho.
