sense!

outh is one of the most difficult stages of life! #his is the stage here

most changes occur not only at the physical le$el %changes in body& but

also mentally and emotionally! outh is hen e begin to define oursel$es

as indi$iduals, as e li$e e$ents that can mar' us fore$er!

(oe$er, the youth of today do not ha$e any comparison! )t is more di$erse

than e$er: e can find all 'inds of youth groups ith different tastes,

hobbies, etc! *$ery young choose ho to spend their adolescence and that+s

hat mar' you as a person for their future!

#he ideas, concepts, beha$ioral patterns, are schemes that allo us to see

a glimpse of life as a hole! #hese schemes are hat e must transform

greatly by attac'ing the interests of eploited people! #he reality is that the

orld $ie that pre$ails today is that of the ruling class, and our youth has

been deeply permeated ith this reactionary ideology!

#oday e ha$e an alienated society and the society e all do, that is, e

are responsible for reproduce or not, its shapes and bac'grounds! #his

alienating society eists in spite of those ho see' to ustify or, orse,

deny it!

.o, ) ha$e a /uestion: 0hat is the true origin of numbness that is under 

youth1

)t is no coincidence that e find people ho thin' the youth has been

damaged trough the past years! outh is the sector of society that generates

momentum for his alays acti$e energy, for their spontaneous and

permanent desire for freedom, and in 2atin America, as it is most producti$e

#he cultural industry, ith their means and instruments, creates mechanisms

of seduction that ma'es the youth mar'et items! A high percentage of youth

imposition of music, drin's, brands of clothes, dress, hairstyles, languages,

and e$en the ay they al', promoted mainly through the cultural industry!

0e ha$e become an etremely apathetic youth, disinterested in generate

proposals that sol$e the big problems of society today4 youth ho see in a

little educational t$ sho, our tool to culti$ate our intellect! 5uch of that

youth attend "higher" le$els of formal education, hoe$er, the study as

concei$ed as an end, and not as a tool of liberation!

0e are so polluted that e prefer the great problems of humanity be

sol$ed by others! #he banality, lac' of commitment and fear to assume

them, ha$e made us perfect to be molded to the interests of global capital

mass!

6ust as' about some basic issues, and ill emerge in our young peopleho much contradiction can, becoming clear its reactionary orld$ie! 7or 

eample: 0hat do you thin' of the political and economic system of our 

societies, politics, prostitution, street situation in hich a large number of 

people in the orld li$e1 0hat do you thin' of global arming, the

education system1 #heir analysis is left to appoint conse/uences and

irresponsibly hide the root causes! #he topics for discussion at this idiotic

youth are the no$el, the model of the car, the tires of the car, the clothes,

the ne iPhone, and so on!

#he material conditions of life of each person do not determine our le$el of 

consciousness and that+s here a ne ord comes into play:

consciousness, and consciousness is not alone, but it as a tool to the daily

actions for our class interests! #he challenge is raised and must assume

responsibility!

#o build a party for our re$olution re/uires, among many elements, a youth

in$ol$ed hich arises irre$erent, ho consciously assume its role, hich is a

catalyst in the process of destruction of this alienating society, that society

has alienated us as indi$iduals and as social subects, the society of hiche are a product and must ipe!
