July 26, 1988

“If we had followed the plans of others, we would not be meeting here today. There would not have been a 26 July. There would not have been a socialist revolution in this hemisphere. There still would not have been a socialist revolution in this hemisphere. According to conventional theory, this revolution could not have come about. That was the theory. Let this be understood very well: That was the theory. That is what the books said. That is what the manuals said.”
