last part of the story.
Back to the Future Epilogue
have passed forty-eight years since I left.
The Tupolev 445 Aeroflot brings me quickly to the Ezeiza International Airport is the July 23, 2010 , I have ninety years old, married with three children, six grandchildren and I do not remember how many great-grandchildren. Twice Hero of the Soviet Union , now retired but consulted from time to time by the Prime Ministers of the various socialist states (including the obedient comrade Tony Blair), a lovely dacha on the shores of the Aegean (my only condition when Russia won Istanbul and European Turkey ) and surrounded by the love of thousands of comrades around the world. My last trip was to the former United States to advise them on their disastrous economic policy.
forty-eight years I've been avoiding close to my homeland, even when Argentine ministers traveled to Moscow to refinance foreign debt (IMF moved to the USSR in 1990) refused to meet them. Now it does not matter, I can return.
Even the air was different when we landed. I let the rest of the committee was with the President to manage the franchise Zamora (since 1970 no longer export the revolution, simply attach a franchise and they bear the cost) and slipped in my wheelchair, to an exit lateral.
How different the Buenos Aires 2010, Buenos Aires, 2010's I remember!
Better or worse? I can not say they are Socialists and more recently changes are usually slow. So far I see no slums, nor major highways, "looks good, no?
A car brings me swiftly to the north, looking for a city and a direction that I have carefully avoided since I know, there I will make a final balance of my life ...
I think what happened in these past fifty years.
The Soviet Union is the world's leading power, a power I must say, not always fair, not too democratic, but that is admired (and imitated) worldwide. The values \u200b\u200bof socialism are still valid, despite the "holiday baskets" and the rise of REDINT, the worldwide networking of computers revolutionized the way we communicate, it even seems that the leftist rebel power as time passes. And, after I created in the 70's, we have our own protest groups, arising spontaneously and those who can not control. The parties are in disrepute, it is true, and perhaps this is not foreign to my habit of giving gifts to their presidents, secretaries and others, but the Soviets have become independent of them and every day more rebels are our guidelines.
football did not yet a passion, but we're at it, since 1978 (when the World Cup in Russia) have perfectly idiotic sportswriters, that's something ...
The rest of the world is socialist or is in the process of being, Argentina, along with Papua and Andorra were the only remaining capitalist states and now the three bought the license to be considered officially Marxists, so that side and no problems. Are, you might say, the United States, ha, please, can anyone seriously think that those forty-something semi-independent states may count for something?, They are lucky if they are not incorporated Mexico into a couple of decades ... Recently I saw Che did not make it from 68, do not talk politics, just play chess, but before I floated me a question:
- Was it worth all this , Gustavo, socialism did not do his opponent in the process?
- Was it worth all this , Gustavo, socialism did not do his opponent in the process?
I'm coming to Rosario, the street lives a man of forty who know well and who know nothing, I think he's the one who can answer the question. FIN
