How has your political views changed during your lifetime?


Well, my views on politics changed very much, from a passive left -wing thinking to a radical Marxist view on politics. I think my very best influence when I was a child, was my family, where I learn about all the cruelty of the Pinochet dictatorship, the persecutions on the oppositions, including the deaths, the tortures, the desaparitions of people, and most important the search of justice of the family from many of this “detenidos desaparecidos”, the word that cross the world of the fight of mothers, sister, spouses, and not only in Chile, but in many latinoamerican countries, where fierce dictatorship despaired people.

This create, I think, a left-wing common sense on me, mainly social conscience, but was in the university where I encounter a elaborated “guide of action” (Engels dixit) for my way of thinking, where when not only see more clearly the central role of the working class in the fight against exploitation and oppression, but more clearly a strategy, from where I get in the class struggle.
