In the prologue to Luis Antonio Bigott's Neocolonized Educator (Ipasme, 2009), Gregorio Pérez Almeida asks: "Is it possible that the constituted power assume the attitude of the constituent power and bring down the current neocolonial power structure in our educational system ' fourth republican ', which has a bureaucratic body of' self-defense 'consolidated in the two Ministries of Education? ” The question is extensible to the entire state apparatus. Our Magna Carta speaks of five powers: executive, legislative, judicial, electoral and moral and of three instances: national, state and municipal. It is in the latter where the contradictions of a societal model that must die, but do not die, are exacerbated, so that the communal homeland is born as a creation and co-creation of the creative powers of the people. In what the communal power (communal councils, communes, social movements) is activated, the constituted power (mayors, civil headquarters, ministries, governments, etc.) sees its microphysics of power endangered. In the best cases, it fails to understand what hinders. And in the worst, their bureaucrats twitch because their logic and business falter and protect them by going to Godfather-style mafias.
The communal councils are the nuclei of the Bolivarian model. Their organic law defines them as “instances of participation, articulation and integration between citizens, citizens and community organizations, social and popular movements, which allow the organized people to exercise community government and direct management of public policies and projects aimed at respond to the needs, potentials and aspirations of the communities, in the construction of the new model of socialist society of equality, equity and social justice ”.
When Simón Rodríguez tells us: “I wish each parish would become a toparchy!” He is proposing that we dynamite the old structure with its bureaucratic perversions led by technocrats trained with alienating resumes. Our main reference indicates that "the true use of creation is to make the inhabitants interested in the prosperity of their soil." The commune of El Maizal in Portuguesa, Monte Carmelo in Los Humocaros, Lara state, the socialist commune of Simón Bolívar on January 23, the Minka in Altagracia and Kai Kachi in La Vega, the three of Caracas, are examples of Rodrigo's "more perfect of all those who can imagine the best policy ”because“ it is the way to give despotism the foot ”. For now, the new educational system must "instruct so that there is who knows and educate so that there is who does."
