Lenin, like millions of comrades and friends map, believed that promoted a better society, but the result of their ideas and actions was the world's first totalitarian state.
The model was copied by Mussolini and Hitler but modified according to the historical particularities of each country. It was a dismal failure as evidenced by the implosion of the last imperialism: the USSR.
Thanks to the U.S., which won both world wars, the West is democratic and civil rights advocates have been infringed if totalitarian countries had won the war.
totalitarianism and dictatorship are being rejected worldwide before the demonstration effect of the Western world. Except in a few countries as a flag of freedom flies. Although not observed to the letter of democratic principles, is considered unlikely to return to totalitarian regimes.
But social democracy, with its siren song still attracts in many countries. The result is not promising. Obstacles to the capitalist economy causes problems that injure not only the economy but also the political system that is irreversibly bound.
Marxist socialism has been removed almost completely, except in Cuba, the West and left a sui generis socialism closer to utopian socialism or social doctrine of the Church.
a greater or lesser extent diluted the syrup Marxist, continues to infect the Western world with its dire consequences.
attempt Argentina after the decade of the 90-maligned unfairly I think as a whole by many intellectuals and political crisis-is falling, do not know clearly yes, because we have these ideas or because they have been tax-Kirchner will know in the next elections in the black hole that the president of Venezuela calls Socialism of the XXI Century . Although some differences the model is the same.
is a vague mixture of socialism and nationalism that is having similar consequences: political and economic backwardness.

can not escape the division of labor, private property, competition, the price that emerges from market, the shortage and social inequality as claimed by the rulers in general remain committed populist achievements impossible.
not even have the best intentions can improve the quality of life of people with prescriptions put aside the above and lead to frustration because they clash with reality.
The dream of equality is impossible, we can only aspire to be equal before the law and often, as we see in our country, with imperfections.
In the so-called first world countries the gap between rich and poor is getting bigger because there is, through science and modern technology, accumulating enormous wealth. However, the so-called poor are also much richer than before.
We are in a world in which we face unprecedented challenges and natural and social challenges such as those arising from just technological progress also of those arising from the clash of cultures as we seeing today. But we are much more prepared to face them in centuries past.
We can not continue living in the mold of nation-state, without political pluralism and cultural and not a universal ethic that will improve the road which is a world of globalized markets with social interactions or relationships of humanity as a whole.
We-no is the brainchild of anyone in particular but the product of human interactions-in an open and unpredictable, but what we can be sure of is that you're better off countries achieve better adapt to new challenges and changes that actually gives.
Hopefully for the good of global society, that Western values \u200b\u200bare distributed over the world. They gave rise to modern society and culture where scientific activity was institutionalized, there was the capitalist system that allowed the consumer, art, and recreation as mass elements.
should remember those who rant against the West that is not inexorable progress or development is the same in the different social structures.
There is a huge resistance very pronounced in the Western intelligentsia to highly complex society. Evidenced utopian attempts to re-invent a past as glorious. They do live in a world where secularism, general knowledge, innovation, quality of life, the permeability of the benefits of other cultures, among other features, have allowed political and economic programs, no more rational to deify reason, but pretending to give data are consistent with reality, according to its amazing results.
They forget that thanks to the modern mind, based on criticism and self- can be expressed freely. Not bad then criticize but neglecting the demands of reality and its relevance to her.
Western History shows us that long and difficult process that led to today's society to enjoy material and spiritual possibilities incredibly old.
where he pitched his foot liberalism, freedom allowed people to choose their personal development within a regulatory framework that protects all alike, free from the community and power allowing absolute political, from then on, rightly or wrongly, to participate in political decisions.
The civil rights guarantee on all private property, which begins with the discovery of the person-reduced and limited the arbitrary power of rulers.
The Constitution, another gift of the West think the principles are aimed at preventing the abuse of power of both the minority and majority.
is clear, however, that was not enough to avoid arbitrary as is evident in countries like Venezuela, Argentina, and Bolivia, among others.
About speculate power there with the fear that part of society has a responsibility to address their own lives without the boa constrictor of community ties. It is not easy to accept the freedom of self and others, or pay the costs rigged to decide our own destiny.
