Críticizing the Ideology

Dear friends,

In previous posts I have exposed my view and my proposal. In this post I am going to criticize what actually is a common view in the world, and logically, of the 15M Movement. This is not a cause for me no to support it with all my strength for its generosity, charisma and beauty.

It is as follows:

I have seen some Movement papers where this ideological thinking is exposed; for instance in its Manifest it opposes a "human" way of dealing in opposition to our current “money”, “markets”, “economy” jokes.

To my understanding, this is a wrong model for analyzing reality, even though I know is the “model” of today´s world. But this is because it is emitted by the state, which dominates all what is published. As the church 1000 years ago in the West would refere all events to the Bible.

Inequality – even extreme inequality, inhumanity, has hierarchy as its origin and this hierarchy is due and genuine of the armed unit (the object arm transformed in army) and this has been so anytime and anyplace, and not only under capitalism or any other economic system.

The “money”, “markets”, “economy” phenomena are derivate from that original condition of human being as constituted in armed units. The true power is of those who have at hand coercion or violent means…..and, only as a consequence they determine the goods –money- allocation which are necessary for every human being to go on living as food, lodging, etc. and those needs are used to put some people at mercy of others and therefore they might be forced to kill and to risk their lives, as also as to work in very harsh conditions in order to be able to just feed themselves….  

It is necessary that some people are under very precarious situation, at mercy of others so that they cannot refuse to do what they are required to do as working, servicing, sex, etc.) but the justification, fair justification of power, is that need of the army, namely; it has to be hierarchical, pyramidal, and at is peak is the king or a similar authority which makes the whole a unity, which arrogates a unique legitimated violence –and in this way make all other violence illegitimate,

If the top of that hierarchy is the king, the lower part of it are the foreigners, before the slaves, today the immigrants, those who do not belong to the armed unit.

In the same way, as the lack of means of subsistence is a REAL RATIONAL AND OBJECTIVE threat, it causes fear, but it is not an irrational or imaginary fear, it is a realist fear. What will we eat later? Etc. And what will do our children if we do not have money? Etc. But this economic fear is in fact in an immediate way the arm fear (you can call it the security forces) they do not allow you to do that or this or force you to do this or that. I would like to remember that weapons do not only act when explode or shoot, but as hunger does its effects as absence of food, arms are acting virtually from the thought of presence or existence and its influence is the key factor –even if we are not so directly conscious of it.

That rationalization of the facts allows us to advance a solution, while the paradigm of the “money” or “markets” power as opposing “humanity” generates confusion –because in this way we put into question who or how the goods are allocated inside the state –and out of it emerges the contradiction, the dialectics, the fight, the rebellion inside the armed unit or state, and the state is, at the same time, submitted to the Coalition (the forces game results in the end in two parties who take the whole -the world) and in this regards any kind of rebellion can be accepted by any means, not even democratic, as one side has other unit opposing also inhumanly.

Rousseau saw that clearly. He would put it that way: once a society constituted unequality, this society forced all others to do the same because, otherwise that unequal society would absorbe and anhiquilate all the other societies. Therefore, the cause and justification of unequality is the existence of other external unequalities. And this is what we have to understand and then face. IT IS NOT THE ECONOMY, FRIENDS.

However, if what we deal with and what we propose each other is, not just disarmament, but a COMMON SECURITY SYSTEM, A HUMAN SECURITY SYSTEM, which by its own logic results not just in the "possibility" of disarmament but in its overall "convenience" because one army is because –or against- the other armies. Of course that system has to be concerted by all together without prejudicing anybody as it means common welfare without contradictions (The aircrafts carriers or the atomic bombs are not there for forcing the workers to go to the factory). This is the only way for UNITY AND EQUALITY OF HUMANITY and out of it there is not way….on the contrary, we will blindly go to the path of violence….!!!

I dare to say you more; with this radical and theoretical understanding, plus the pacific and generous attitude showed by this wonderful Movimiento, we will reach our target for sure…

As always I stay at your disposal for clear or deepen any detail on this.
Yours
Manuel

A proposal for the International extension of the 15M Manifest

Who are we?

We are people who have come here free and voluntarily and have decided to gather to claim for dignity and political and social consciousness.

We do not represent any political party or association

We are together with a call for change

We are here by dignity and solidarity with those who cannot come here

Why are we here?

We are here because we want a new society which gives priority to life above political and economic interests. We put forwards a change in society and in social consciousness.

---International extension

We understand that:

The main problem for humanity is our division in states, and, consequently, the decision system, and the resulting decisions, are referred exclusively to the state`s limits or borders and, logically, they strive to their own benefit without considering the harm it might result for the others. The consequence of it is the armed strain and the wars.

This is the basic cause of human illness because it prevents from its roots the building up o/and progress towards the human community.

Therefore, we want:

To set up a human decision system, dependent on the human beings together, as subjects of understanding and common sense and as objects of the taken decisions which are assumed, suffered, beard, supported….collectively, very especially in our contemporary globalized world where all kind of relations are very closely linked worldwide and every decision has a global effect.

Human dignity shall never be disregarded. This is the basement of the Real Democracy we are promoting; every human being participates radically in it and not by means of others, the states.  

Hereby:

We are calling for international mobilization and consciousness to put forwards this question in the international community table aiming at setting up a decision system already with the participation and agreement of all.  

Security, peace, democracy

UK training Saudi forces used to crush Arab springas

Democracy -as anything else- is subordinated to security; in Bahrein prodemocratic people are Shia people (as Iran), while the government is Sunni, and the American flleet parks there.

I am telling you that for us not to deceive ourselves -it is not a judgement, for us not comit mistakes and to know what concretely the question we have to solve.

By the way, China is building a base for its navy in that side of Pakistan, so that it will be able to exerce its influence in the Gulf soon.

Good luck!

Global context, local democracy – this is the problem. Real democracy now!

Most influential decisions and actions come in a global context, however, our political or democratic field, there where we can participate through democratic means, where we can share our wishes and our will is just in a local frame, limited to the state.

The current financial crisis puts it in evidence

An effective democracy can only work in a global basis

Therefore the target of the 15M, Real democracy now! Take the square must be this; to achieve a global system of democracy.

And for it, it is of utmost importance that foreign people join us. This is the key issue.

The causes are international ones

Spain bans jobs protests over election weekend 
China Daily headlines.

В Испании протестуют против высокого уровня безработицы
In Spain the people protest against the high unemployement level, this is how the Russian TV sees it

Die Wut über die Korruption – Änger about corruption – this is the way to call it for Taz (the Berlin daily Tageszeitung) Wut (rage)? -they have watched another match.

Indeed, we are at the Sun Gate against corruption but mainly against international corruption (international corruption, ruthlessness,abuse, gall, lack of scruple, etc, etc. -the alleged main cause of the current crisis or slump. Where everybody has seen how some people are under a regime; if you fail in the exam, your repeat, if you fail at work you get fired, etc. but some people is not under the law, or common sense; they will always win, as politicians and bankiers (and this is the same in Berlín, Moscú o China, dear)

Real democracy now!
 We gather at the Sun Gate because we are jobless and we do not have a salary, but Chinese people salary might be 200 euro per month working under terrible conditions (pls, do not think that consume prices there are much lower than here). We protest against their situation too.

And this is the reason why that electoral law baning the protests on the reflection day fits small for us.

Why we are in the Sun Gate?

Why we are in the Sun Gate?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????

We are not in the Sun Gate for the causes we say we are there, or for the causes the journalists say, nor the politicians, nor the foreign media, this is; to claim for this of for that. We are in the Sun Gate because we were in the Tahrir square, in Tunisia, in............. because we feel as humans, because we are humans...........

However, we can not express ourselves as such. Everyone asks for his rights, ask for taking away the rights of the bankers, the politicians, kind of everyone wants to occupy their post and be the one who organize, command, allocate (and, as we say in Spanish, whoever allocates allocates first for himself...)

In spite of our alienated languages, in spite of the fact that we lack of another channel for communication and for expressing ourselves than the politcal argot, in spite of our uncapability to directly relate to each other.....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!
(There is not anger among us -this is the key question you have to understand)

We fairly require a house where to live, a job to earn money and consume, those political and social questions we can mainly deal with the political parties but we can not talk, nor even ask for a right about not bombing anybody....

Nor for a right about not exploiting people, nor for a right about not abusing people, there are not such things as rights about it.

For that reason, the demo in the Sun Gate is a CALL to take all the squares in all places claiming that right -a right we do not have, a right we do not have a channel to claim. We can just produce it.....called by our feelings, from our human reality. And this is the way other will interprete us -in spite of our insuficient language- because that is what already happened to us.

Real democracy now!

It might be corruption, unjustice, etc. but this is not the reason why I am not voting, for that people change the parties, I am not voting because I do not consent with bombing anybody.

Democracy is the key word for our system, but we promote the invasion to Bahrein to quell the prodemocracy demostrators as democracy was quelled in Argelia in the nineties when the FIS won.

Just please, lets kindly check it:

REAL DEMOCRACY NOW!
