Soldiers have left their families behind to fight, and although some may seem foolish, such as Captain Quiróga, it is essential to proceed with human sense and not compromise the revolution's triumph. The secret of a true revolution lies in abolishing private property, breaking the chains of slavery to all forms of authority, including the state and personal life, and being free from dogma and the supremacy of knowledge and self-determination over religion, authority, and privilege.
