Luis Carlos was Bolivarian in outlook.

That is, there was no greater source of political import than Simón Bolívar's march for Latin American independence in the 1800s.

Bolívar's goal was to unite Spanish-speaking America.

The followers of Bolívar are a breed apart.

They study the minutiae of the great general's life.

They place him as a model upon which to contemplate current events and political developments.

And so it was with Luis Carlos.

Everything was a function of the Bolivarian ideal, Latin America's cultural independence, its unification, and its freedom from colonial domination.
