Thank you for posting the translation.

At no point does he explain:

• how he will defend the "revolution"
• how further coups will be prevented
• how he is going to meaningfully improve democracy if he is concerned the poor only get a democratic voice every few years during election season
• how he will prevent the imperialist forces and the bourgoisie dictating economic policy

If he doesn't think one needs to read Marx or learn from Castro, Mao or Lenin then he giving the awful impression that he does not have a viable alternative. If one does not have an understanding of the status quo then how will one fight it? How will they understand lessons of the past of those who did fight it and was successful if they do not learn from them? Where is this new theory of successful political economic development that apparently supercedes Marx scientifically?

Critical support indeed.

Without understanding dialectical and historical materialism, without developing a socialist vanguard and without democratic centralism it feels like the seeds for capitulating towards fascism.
