19Chávez, in cahoots with Evo Morales, intends to seduce and recruit theBolivians into his revolutionary adventure by means of a gigantic aid planthat includes medical treatment, literacy campaigns and abundant food. He issure that such massive aid will demolish any nationalistic wariness. Healready is very much appreciated by the Bolivian masses and will be evenmore so in the future. Bolivia is the poorest country in the continent. Severalhundreds of millions of dollars conveniently distributed (Chávez calculates)may achieve the miracle of attracting the enthusiastic adhesion of theneediest people and the complicity of the radical groups to the cause of aredemptive conquest of Latin America, a step on the road to 21st-centurysocialism.No sense of boundariesWhat we're witnessing is the consequence of a delirious vision of history andglobal political reality. Months ago, last December, that vision wasexplained in Caracas by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque, andthe world was foolish enough not to pay any attention. Castro and Chávez,two absolutely messianic characters without any vestige of prudence orsense of boundaries, came to the conclusion that Marxism had revived afterthe debacle that ended the Soviet Union and its European satellites 15 yearsago. From that conclusion, they derived the sacred mission that bothassumed with the responsibility and fervor of crusaders: Caracas and Havanawould bear on their shoulders the task of redeeming a humanity cowardlyabandoned by Moscow.That's the hair-raising picture before our eyes: Caracas-Havana, and now LaPaz, are the new Moscow, mother and father of world socialism. The taskthey have as signed themselves begins with the revolutionary conquest ofSouth America and the installation in all its nations of sympatheticgovernments that will collaborate in the final battle against ``imperialism.''What is the objective of that battle? Obviously, to bring the United Statesand its despicable European acolytes to their knees. To end forever theiniquitous exploitation of the Third World by the creation of a grandiosecollectivistic and egalitarian civilization that will reign eternally for theglory of humanity.
