About the Book

After traveling through the restless paths of history, I verified how harmful it has been for humanity, the slogans launched by the Populists. The first that came to my mind was the one launched by the French revolutionaries against the Queen of France: Marie Antoinette. The one that hurt me most was when a member of Versailles told Maria Antonietta: that the people were complaining, because they did not have bread to eat. And Maria Antonietta replied: “If they do not have bread they eat sponge cake.” But, like all the slogans of the populists; it was proved that it was a vile fallacy: Well, while they spread it throughout France, in its Capital, Paris; They cut off his head in the guillotine to the charismatic Queen Marie Antoinette of Vienna. That even at the time of his death, he will show his dignity; that she was the daughter of Maria Teresa of Austria: “When the executioner tried to take the collar off her dress, with his hands, where he would cut it off; while he was taking them off, Marie Antoinette said to him: Take your dirty hands from my neck, you’re going to make me dirty! I will do it!” When I learned of the wild attitude of the French revolutionaries led by the bloodthirsty Maximilian of Robespierre; I understood that Jose Martí was an advance: In the 19th century, our Apostle told us: “Men go in two camps: Those who love and build and those who hate and destroy.” And that, because of his bloodthirsty actions: Robespierre belonged to the side of those who hate and destroy. As well; that in Fidel Castro and his brother Raul: Robespierre had his counterparts.
