“Brothers, companeros, comrades: we must convert the rage, the anger and the helplessness into superior organization, into unified and convergent projects, into cultivating unity without distinctions of any kind, to confront our class enemies because sooner or later, we shall overcome.

The way forward is privatization and an end to the monopoly on power generation and service provision.

There should be competition among varios contractors for construction and maintenance of electric lines.
