During the demonstrations against Bologna plan something terrible happened. After checking amazed how younger students would be locked in my school and took by assault the filling of posters and banners against the above process of European convergence, I happened to wear a Che Guevara poster to place in a hallway. I am a romantic and sentimental, and naive of me thought the formidable presence of the famous Argentine revolutionary photographed by Alberto Corda insuflaría renew and mood in young people camped in the entrance hall and corridors. The response of the beardless youth was mobilized police court, "is that it would politicize the protest." Deep breath y conté hasta diez, entonces supe que la protesta estaba condenada al más estricto de los fracasos y como cualquiera puede comprobar, el plan Bolonia es una realidad en todas las universidades españolas.
Decía Marx que la historia tiende a repetirse; primero como tragedia después como farsa, y cuando entro al muro del evento en Facebook que me convoca a la manifestación del 15 de mayo en Valencia para protestar contra políticos y banqueros, me encuentro de nuevo con la historia repetida, esta vez como farsa, como tragedia y como verdadero despropósito: la convocatoria es apolítica y sobre todo pacífica . Luego claro, when your call is shit on a stick unable to discern any mobilization against the political system is, your demo is a ton of shit that stinks for miles around, which is what was the manifestation of Valencia yesterday.
Marxists are somewhat stubborn and we always strive to take into account the historical process, that unforgiving says any reform, structural change or revolution ever achieved batucada rhythm, but some do not seem to mind , are bent over and over again and face a thousand times against the same stone. We recall that the 8-hour day, that same day with impunity violate business class, not after endless rained batucadas but was achieved with the blood of the martyrs of Chicago.
also recall that Charles De Gaulle entered his funk and rallied the paratroopers not when thousands of students took to the streets of Paris, but when ten million workers paralyzed the country with closures in the factories and declaring a general strike indefinitely. Definitely remember that each and every one of the improvements that form what some came to call the welfare state (health and free education, right to unemployment insurance, to organize unions, to a pension, paid holidays, etc. ) not succeeded in delivering flowers and pounding the eardrums of the oppressor with Brazilian rhythms but violent base closures, barricades and paving stones thrown at the head of those supporting the system blows. Even intellectuals such as José Luis San Pedro call the "peaceful uprising" in a fit of senility that somehow tries to contain the most advanced and radical youth. What would he think of his novel partisan The Etruscan smile if you were told you should rebel against the Nazi invaders in a peaceful manner ...
If an immigrant or beating a homeless burning gasoline at an ATM are a even non-military fascist New Force and Spain 2000, in the same way if the people force their government to nationalize the banks, walking to socialism even if the people are not aware of it, that is what has happened in Iceland. That is the crux of the masses and jaded youth who took to the streets yesterday in this country to shame some media tiptoe with the mobilization and instead move land, sea and air when four (literally) white women are manifested through the streets of Havana. The slab of these young apolitical is that they are socialists and do not know, not for himself class is called alienation and people like Marx, Debord or Marcuse, theorized much about it, but it is much easier to give the button I like Facebook to organize politically, it is much easier to read billets last century philosophers, it is much more comfortable dancing samba to throw stones at police and burn windows, dancing in the insurance batucada linking more.
Because we want bread, but we want roses, and the organizers of that call they forget that roses have thorns, and at times inevitably stuck with them if they are gripped. And while these young people do not fall classless and apolitical account that roses have thorns, that is, the violence inherent in the system can only be fought by the violence of an organized classes and taking clear that any form of political protest is always, we are doomed to the most resounding failures. Failure that some are determined not to do: read comments on Facebook that target without blushing that started a revolution, "but those of anonymous who smoke? I want.
And it could not conclude this discussion without noting that I do not think any sectarian ominous, always count on my presence in any mani questioning the system, although the organizers are apolitical proclaim so stupid and think that you can change the social and financial system samba dancing. I believe in bringing together all kinds of forces, and collective trends that can be mixed in the first instance and there will always be that question the established order. There will be a barricade on foot (in this case batucada) even though I know in my heart that the mobilization is immature and doomed to fail (as they did Marx and Engels in the springs of the European revolutions of the nineteenth century) but some things cry to heaven and we must denounce. Not only indignant enough, we must organize the rage and attack where it really hurts the capitalists, the pocket, this is not achieved with statements that seem rides or sambódromo Rio de Janeiro but crippling the economy and attacking, either through general strikes, factory closures or assaulting the English Court. History on our side because when these young outcasts realize that with drums and V for vendetta mask system laughs in our face and then we mea, when these youngsters lack the mattress which is the family home, be weary dancing and other forms of mobilization came on the scene: in Greece, Egypt and Tunisia have much to teach about it.
then removed the mask from V for Vendetta and will face and will rise up and realize that, unlike the aforementioned film, in real life the soldiers shoot at the crowds to preserve the hegemony of one class over another, that democracy and bourgeois parliamentarism is organized violence of the ruling class against the army of unemployed, insecure and oppressed, that the law can not be changed without violating it, that the violence of the system can only be fought with organized violence of the people will realize that roses have spines.
