25 years have not elapsed in vain. I was talking, essentially, of the organic
intellectuals. But 25 years ago, these issues were common knowledge here, due
to the heroic labour of many popular and rebel historian / politicians.

And where you had fire, embers remain.

"Orden General del 27 de Julio de 1819".


Compañeros del exercito de los Andes.

...La guerra se la tenemos de hacer del modo que podamos:
sino tenemos dinero, carne y un pedazo de tabaco no nos
tiene de faltar: cuando se acaben los vestuarios, nos
vestiremos con la bayetilla que nos trabajen nuestras mugeres,
y sino andaremos en pelota como nuestros paisanos los indios:
seamos libres, y lo demás no importa nada...

...Compañeros, juremos no dejar las armas de la mano, hasta
ver el país enteramente libre, ó morir con ellas como hombres
de corage.

Jose de San Martín.
