RUBBLE:
These days Italy Civil speaks the language of the rubble. The ruins are a symbol of deprivation faced by the state. The ruins are a symbol of deception hidden propaganda, attitude to omit from the spotlight what's wrong: almost everything.
Rubble in Italy are a symbol, but the ruins are a reference to L'Aquila: L'Aquila is a reservoir of signs that tell the mechanics of a system of propaganda that is dictatorial, even if camouflaged inside semblance of democracy. For those who have eyes to see, in L'Aquila triumphalism of the government reveal a crumbling reality of subordination of the social strategies of profit. This is why L'Aquila urges Italy to revolt, from the University, because culture is a resource and an antidote to tyranny. That is why the University of L'Aquila turns.
TRICK:
Gelmini The bill is an attack on the world of education, expression of a government of deception. In fact, the bill gelmini form in the guise of reforming a reduction, destruction, feudalization a national system of education. A reform is necessary, but not this, and we can not allow such a need to become a Trojan horse to attack the school, to break down, reducing it to the bone and the service of established power. The bill Gelmini takes away resources to the world of training, the precarious, it has to privatization, not weaken the larger universities, the University brings to un'aziendalizzazione of knowledge, which inevitably will emerge in political regimentation of knowledge. And then it should be clear that meanness is a reprehensible propaganda to believe that this account of the baronies DDL is academic: baronies real academic support the Gelmini decree, as if it will pass, it will be largely reinforced.
In a democratic state the civil society must oppose with all their strength to reduce the risk of knowing the instrument of the regime. Education is, was the means to transform his subjects into citizens, so back it opens the way to bring the masses into subservience. Oppressive regimes in the 'ignorance is strength ", we are faced with an Orwellian scenario in essence, served up with a deceptive delicacy. Dictatorships old and new - that are based on more violence or more on fiction - are afraid of knowledge. Thus, a camouflaged dictatorship disguised as democracy in the reassuring word "reform" an attack demolitive training aimed at strengthening a grammar of power that needs the allegiance.
TOLERANCE:
This system uses a systematic deception of addiction in relation to a general process of erosion of the company by profit. The public is accustomed to a strategy of stigma with which any form of civil dissent is degraded to irrationalism extremist. The worst effects of quest'assuefazione scheme is that it has produced a widespread feeling of hopelessness with respect to a possible change: today, the alienation part by induction of false consciousness that there are no really viable alternative.
ADDRESSED:
is why, also from University, it is necessary to take collective consciousness toward a cultural revolt, as well as political.
