Durante la época de Simón Bolívar, la Gloriosa Revolución de Inglaterra, la Revolución Norteamericana, la Revolución Francesa y la Revolución Industrial Británica tenían efectos durables a escala mundial sobre las ideas políticas, la moral social y la práctica revolucionaria de todos los grandes hombres. Esto era el triunfo glorioso del capitalismo burgués-democrático sobre todos los modos de producción anteriores, especialmente sobre la esclavitud antigua y la servidumbre feudalista-absolutista.

Although as a result of globalization, as the social realization of the French and Industrial Revolutions, as Marx (and Engels) already predicted in the Communist Manifesto and in Capital, late economics ... mainly as production by "intellectual labor forces", accompanied by machines and computers, by social labor ... has moved into the realm of the current global, social superstructure, into politics, and vice versa, yet very few of our analyses, our commentaries, have a sound politico-economic or economico-political approach to the current precarious situation of Venezuela in particular, and of the whole globe in general.

Contemporary Global Revolutionary Significance of the Political Thought of Simon Bolivar

The Historical Ideological Context

In the age of Simon Bolivar, the Glorious Revolution of England, the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution had enduring effects worldwide on the political ideas, social morals and revolutionary practice of all great men.
