Women Wearing Napkins
One of the things that attracted my attention for sensitive individuals, to assess what is happening in the world in recent months, is the huge gap between the dimension of the crisis and the warmth of the response of the social sectors particularly hard hit by it, is very striking that for over ten years, there have been many voices have risen to proclaim the unsustainability of the dominant neoliberal model. Many of these voices launched several proposals to other alternatives that mobilized so many people around the world. Now, however, seems to have entered a state of necessity: they speak very little of these alternative proposals and the anti-globalization protests have declined dramatically. Is what corresponds to the optimism of the will that accompanies the pessimism of the intellect of those below. Never quite know what capitalism is or may become. But we have often seen the raven's wings and it seems that indeed, the same can not be raven black as the wings. In capitalism, crises have always been an opportunity for the capital restructure and reorganize its relationship with work. Put silver occasion to pay the workers, below, the negative effects and consequences of the situation. Not that the capital crisis intentionally look for it. Is that capital seeks to cash in on the economic and financial crisis to bring even more tightly to the workforce. It has always done well and there is no reason to think that will stop this combination interrelated crises we are experiencing now.
the uninformed may be surprised at the amount of speech that is heard today about how necessary it is "re" capitalism. But soon you want to learn, you will notice that the re-foundation of capitalism is precisely the slogan that always follows the crisis and has always predicted the use of the crisis from above. Predictably, countries that have made the engine of capital will be legal and political concessions, in the third rail that and there will not be at risk until we know democracy halved. That is what we are taught certain intellectuals "deeply anti-capitalist." And we must listen, because they knew what they were saying before we entered the state of necessity. And then there will also be taken to the reasonable alternative measures proposed: debt relief for impoverished countries, assess the financial and speculative trade exchanges, redistributing the wealth to end the glaring social inequalities, basic income citizens; change times work and care for promoting equality between men and women, food and energy sovereignty, ecological sustainability seriously, all this, and how to implement it, we must speak with more specificity. But if you do not have that on the horizon, many believe that the raven is more black than their wings.
