It is logical then, once the necessary reductions have been made, to draw the conclusion that the problems of Venezuela are the consequence of Chávez's hyper-leadership, for which: a) Go now!, Ultrareduccionista slogan of the opposition that justifies its elimination because, dead the dog rage is over; and b) Uh, Ah, Chávez does not leave!

The hiperliderazgos are the product of historical manifestations of the people and that they obey to personal conditions that are unrepeatable. For example, Evo Morales in Bolivia is a genuine product of the indigenous communities, but the ingredients that feed a hyper-leadership are added: intelligence, perseverance, hard work, tenacity, sagacity, courage, ambition of power or fame, historical vision, energy. , spirit of solidarity, personal charisma, detachment of material goods, among others. A steep slope in one or several of these elements, is an obstacle for all that scaffolding to come down.
You can not conceive a leader who is a thief, or who is not aware of the historical moment he is living, who is not intelligent enough to realize the actions he must undertake or stop, or who is a lazy, or who does not have enough magnetism to connect with the aspirations of that people.
Few people on the planet who can meet all these conditions and take advantage of the opportune historical moment, and therefore, become leaders, or better yet, hyperlíderes. But the most important thing is to come: They have to survive some time to record some concrete work. Gaitán was left on the road, and although he filled all the qualities to be the great conductor of his people, he could not realize his thoughts.
It is not surprising that when the French revolution broke out we found Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and that in the climax of the collapse of Tsarism were Nicholas II and Rasputin
The role of the individual in history allows us to confront those who think that only the heroes and the multitude, according to which the history of humanity does not develop as a regular process, according to certain laws, but runs by casual paths.
