----------------- -----
An earthquake has made the Eagle a city in danger. Not only that, today, L'Aquila is also a term of the language with which the nation is a term that has been given different meanings. Perhaps the most practiced for several months have been those of 'emergency', 'miracle', and, conversely, the 'ingratitude'. Respectively of the earthquake, the Government, of L'Aquila.
Instead come to L'Aquila open your eyes to a city crumbling in the midst of the rhapsody of plaster and concrete houses of the project. In this scenario we read a word that perhaps says much of our day, 'deception'. Deceit obvious why behind what has been sold to the public as "miracle eagle" there was no "reconstruction model" suggested by deception and legitimate doubt that the massive aid is also served as a pretext to engage broad strategies profit. Deceit hidden from the bombardment of the media propaganda of the regime. Deception, as the "miracles" are usually fiction, which fall when you stop believing.
And you can not accept the stigma of ingratitude as a threat to de-legitimize dissent. What is an Eagle through sincere, unconditional and eternal in Italy that this tragedy has been discovered in solidarity in a spirit that represents the best that can express the nation. But there is a part of the city, only for convenience one can be accused of politicizing, people who never believed in certain emergency summit of the machine, with a strong condemnation against those who have come to speculate about the catastrophe, yelling the wind of censorship and propaganda.
There is a huge question: what The project case is a fraud, because it conveyed an operation of speculation, artificially through constructive choices made in terms of ultimate or even conditio sine qua non , and implemented at costs that seem excessive. The project houses speaks the same language-emergency works such as the Acerra incinerator: taxes assessed on the basis of need not just exclusion of viable alternatives, but probably much more appropriate for the population. Instead, these choices are not charged to get the best possible social outcome, but to maximize the gains in terms political propaganda and profit. Similarly, the project houses the Eagle speaks the same language of the labor crisis: companies before the people, the economy before the society.
This is how it works-emergency codes refer to the same profit that more subtly insinuate themselves into the everyday life of ordinary times and places. The ruins are the ruins of the Eagle metaphorical point to other ruins of democracy, indicating that speculative deception was imposed to the whole world under the pretext of another collapse, that of the Berlin Wall.
We accept that the communist regimes have wrong on many points, but the deception was momentous to believe that the collapse of Soviet communism as a total positive enough to justify the modus operandi of Western capitalism. It is a device of Manichaean accuses scagionante of primordial algebra in which, by the demonization of a system, you derive the sanctification of its opposite. Thus, given the mistakes of a dictatorship that subjecting humanity to politics, there has been locked in a dictatorship the man who submits to the economy. So the West has surrendered to an economy that, by sanctifying the concept of "free market, "the company sacrificed to a policy of profit. In this direction L'Aquila today we can reveal a general principle remained hidden under the rubble of the Berlin Wall: the free-market capitalism is not only subtractive, but it is also destructive.
Let me explain with an example: a lady told me: "we can not complain if they have eaten over the houses, so goes the world, you have to eat them and give you something." This is the point of deception, the evidence of habituation to a system of mutual exchange which raises a relationship between the center of social protection and reduced to begging the counterpart of corporate parasitism large domain. When the target is reduced to one of profit maximization, the product undergoes a degeneration in relation to function: the tool degenerates into junk. The vampire who practice on the free market society is not based only on the take than give, in addition to the forgotten question of surplus value, there is the problem of placing destructive products, from apartment buildings that disfigure the landscape with nuclear power plants that threaten the future, all touted as a necessity, criticizing the alternatives. This process is carried out continuously and at all levels: from the shape of a city at odds and ends that consumerism, indifference, more and more flood the newspaper.
mind you, this is not merely a theoretical consideration, we are faced with a mechanism of production of common sense that more than two decades acting on the masses every day. Think of how many times in political specter of "communism" is still invoked to validate the dictatorship of capitalism. This is contrappassistico Manichaeism, in which the supposition that the errors of one part can mean the opposite of goodness, which has led to the development worldwide of a typology of rulers of which Berlusconi is only the most representative caricature. We are in the hands of interpreters of a cultural vision of society that has not voted on the extension of welfare, but the intensification of gains and privileges.
may seem excessive, but many times it is suspected to be inside a new Middle Ages interwoven global affiliate networks around economic powers, in a defensive position which could be prelude to extinction in the face of a all'ossimoro world, while being asked, it burns more energy and bursting with people. One has to wonder how it can last a protective response based on an idea of \u200b\u200bthe power that comes to (re) feudalization human, under a legitimate seigniorage that promising to protect from disasters and invasions, still maintains that against the nature of the masses and subordinate relationships of predation and reduced to slavery.
What is of concern is the habit of common sense to the principle of maximization of economic benefits against social ones. L'Aquila we were victims of a sort of "addiction bomber" than an ongoing earthquake swarm, and we fell into the trap of a disastrous series of assurances given by a national commission great risk. Similarly, our society is addicted to the frame of the power of the dictatorship of profit maximization, hidden behind the reassuring term 'free market'.
L'Aquila speaks the language of catastrophe, the harbinger of a world collapsing, because the site of the dark side of the established order is revealed as obscene excess in which we can decipher the signals of a crisis that is systemic. The Eagle tells us that only a re-foundation of the social pact centered on a culture can save a hope for the future invasion of profit, L'Aquila speaks of the need to design a life where politics and economics are focused on sustainable paths able to bring men back.
and thus it is clarified that this is not so much to be questioning the ethics of proposability "state of exception", risking the envelope in the pret-a-philosophical thoughts. The point is to step forward to understand and challenge the political use of the "state of exception" is being implemented by our economic system: the emergency situation, naturalizing a domain context in which the state of necessity tends to suppress the possibility of choice, there is pre-text to impose hegemony well within the power relations of post-colonial type, in which aid becomes an instrument of profit and - reflexively - the desire to profit deteriorates the form of aid. This does nothing but show in an exaggerated way what is a constitutive mechanism of capitalism, which in normal times silently erode our society vampirism for profit on the function of the product.
Today L'Aquila is a paradigmatic site, which must also give meaning to the concepts of 'deception' and 'change', explaining an awareness and a will that is compared to a normal everyday habit, and that need to be reviewed until foundations, because fundamentally unsafe. Today, L'Aquila speaks the language of the risk of a global catastrophe.
