Revolution and Counter-Revolution

PART I:
THE REVOLUTION

Chapter IX: The Semi-counterrevolutionary is Also a Son of the Revolution

LETTER A- A+

Everything that has been said herein provides grounds for a practical observation.

Spirits marked by this interior Revolution might conserve a counter-revolutionary attitude in respect to one or many points due to an interplay of circumstances and coincidences, such as being reared in a strongly traditional and moral milieu.38

Nevertheless, the spirit of the Revolution will still be enthroned in the mentality of these semi-counterrevolutionaries.

In a people where the majority are in such a state of soul, the Revolution will be irrepressible until they change.

Thus, as a consequence of the Revolution´s unity, only the total counter-revolutionary is an authentic counter-revolutionary.

As for the semi-counterrevolutionaries in whose souls the idol of Revolution begins to totter, their situation is somewhat different. We shall discuss it later.39
