Two characteristics shared by the representatives of the political right and left: the maintenance of economic and social system as a reference point untouchable and the seduction of the electorate. Although these two characteristics do not make the same parties right and left, must be recognized that the lowering of the reference values \u200b\u200bof the left has made the left parties increasingly similar to those on the right. I would like to deal briefly with these two characteristics shared by the activities of the political right and left.
The "system" is a nightmare characterized by some fundamental aspects:
a) an economy based on the pursuit of maximum profit (a few),
b) a state machine pachyderm, inefficient and expensive
c) a complex social stratification in which the dramatic and insurmountable gap between rich and poor, privileged intermediate layers are added and at various pests,
d) a lower class made up of workers looking for a permanent position (not even guaranteed)
e) a culture of mass- from conformity, from the traditional mode and
f) a solid grounding of corruption and crime.
The right-wing politicians obviously have no intention to change this "system" simply because they defend the social classes that suck the nectar of the system itself, or are members of the ruling elite that, in addition to money want a direct management of the power system that protects them. These politicians, given the formal order of our democratic society, to have their own interests, however, need to persuade a majority of the electorate to leave them the power.
To do resort to old and new media: declare themselves bearers of values \u200b\u200b'traditional' demonize each alternative, even moderate, the bearer of chaos, can not handle is the unconventional means of mass communication, have to dismantle the culture Voters as ignorant as to believe their nonsense, distract the gullible from the real issues (the exploitation of workers and social injustice) inventing dangers da contrastare “tutti assieme” (gli extracomunitari, i comunisti, le minoranze, ecc.), sostengono miti “collettivi” e interclassisti (alcuni pensano ancora alla patria mentre altri si sono inventati la padania).
I politici di sinistra dovrebbero essere distinti in due categorie: quelli che operano nei partiti di sinistra e che hanno solo obiettivi personali (potere personale, privilegi, vantaggi economici) e quelli che operano per finalità specificamente politiche. Il problema del conflitto di interessi che rende “anomalo” il nostro paese non è stato risolto dai governi di destra ma nemmeno da quelli “di sinistra”. Ciò significa che una parte rilevante of the left did not want to remove this anomaly and that many of its leading figures are involved in the power system. But I would only deal with left-wing politicians and historians who share the values \u200b\u200bof the left [cf. POST right and left categories as political and ethical ]. They do not envisage radical reforms and beneficial to their constituencies and potential, that is for all citizens not covered by the elite in power, simply because they can not imagine. For example, the current free market system can be expected to put millions of families on the street when a company has the need to fail (for false) or to transfer production to other countries. This system also consists of the quell'elemosina layoff is temporary, particularly humiliating and borne by society, that of other workers. If the right wants to prop up this system, the next "authentic" working to improve left as is, left-wing politicians do not even imagine another type of social protection of unemployed workers (ie, a socially organized use of their capacities) but sympathize with the workers and demand more handouts.
entire left-wing politics is a better idea of \u200b\u200bsociety as it is. The left historical, in other words is represented by enlightened conservatives and goodwill.
Ideally, then, these left-wing politicians do not offer anything radically new and genuinely respectful of people. Reassure moderates that they will not do "too much confusion," reassure the bigots that religion will always be a privileged club, and "more equal than others" reassure people that the TV will change nothing, except a little more justice and any further participation in the democratic system as it is [cf. POST The banality of politics ].
In pratica, questo disastro costituito da un’intera classe politica, si traduce in un’opera di seduzione dell’elettorato che non tocca i valori profondi delle persone. I politici di destra alimentano tradizionalismi, regionalismi e allarmismi pretestuosi, mentre quelli di sinistra alimentano il vittimismo e la “rassegnazione costruttiva”, cioè l’idea che la società sia immodificabile ma migliorabile.
Se i politici di destra sono i mastini del potere, quelli di sinistra non complici sono, di fatto, un puntello del potere, perché mirano a mantenerlo migliorandone vari aspetti. Ciò che manca è una fitta schiera di politici di sinistra capaci di immaginare una società diversa nella sua struttura e nei suoi valori e che quindi sollecitino l’elettorato ad esprimere sul piano politico la volontà di cambiamenti profondi e vantaggiosi per tutti (tranne che per l’elite al potere). Capaci cioè di stimolare anziché sedurre, di unire anziché massificare e di far leva sul senso di dignità delle persone e sulla necessità di costruire una società più comunitaria e meno frantumata e anonima [cfr. il POST Emmanuel Mounier e il personalismo ].
I politici più giovani (o meno anziani) manifestano spesso alcune convinzioni condivisibili (ad esempio istanze ecologiste e l’esigenza di un impegno serio nei confronti della Corruption and organized crime). However, do not have the strength to draw positive idea of \u200b\u200balternative society. A society that does not destroy the environment and that is not dominated by criminals and corrupt a society is still undefined. Gather consensus against this management system but do not paint a different system. Fuel a rage that can not be constructive because it aims at targets positively delineated.
All proposals that have crossed our blogs are unrelated to any political program: a social and those expressed in the posts of the "person, community, society and politics", both of type culture expressed in the posts of the "normal madness in culture and society." In this sense, our blog fits into the genre of science fiction and not in the culture and politics.
then? Then, in the absence of a policy "good" to be strongly supported, there are only options "reserve": staying out of the loop of illusions and support movements or parties "less worse" than others when you go to vote, and above all , continue to think and to cultivate good ideas, irreducible to the more established schemes.
