231
years later, regression towards the new Feudalism
by
system failure
It was 14th
July of 1789 when the representatives of the bourgeoisie in France
promised a different world. Indeed, authoritarianism and depression
by Monarchy and Feudalism brought naturally a desire for a more
equitable society. The triplet "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"
was not a simple slogan reproduced to become a cliche, but
represented the pure willing of the majority for a big change.
128 years
later, another revolution, in Russia this time, promised to impose
the implementation of those things declared in 1789, as the
proletariat was building a class consciousness and the bourgeoisie
had already abandoned its initial declarations.
Several
decades since then, two ostensibly different worlds were fighting
against each other. On the one hand, the Soviet Communism that
imposed a direct state authoritarianism and a monstrous bureaucracy,
on the other, the indirect authoritarianism by the Western states
through the propaganda and psychological violence. Always behind
these, a dominant big bourgeoisie which through the economic power
was pulling, and pulls, the strings.
Through
these 231 years, the big bourgeoisie has "filled the gap"
left by the monarchs and feudal lords, has dominated through the
economic power, and now, is taking back everything that has been
conquered with the "plebs'" blood all these decades. The
whole story resembles a big fraud that has been revealed in front of
our eyes.
The big
bourgeoisie has "got rid" of the small-medium urban class
and the proletarians to take the power monopoly. What it wants now is
to "get rid" of the nation-state as has been shaped since
1789, in order to establish a global new Feudalism. Nothing has been
left from the purity of the French Revolution. The triplet "Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity" will end to be a slogan in millions of
t-shirts manufactured in Chinese factories with humiliating wages, at
most. It has already happened with the face of Che ...
Does,
indeed, history repeats itself and returns in a slightly different
form? How many circles should pass, how many wars, conflicts,
revolutions should happen, how much more blood should be spilled,
until humanity to find its way to the true Liberty? Is this, indeed,
the nature of man? Or are we "trained" to believe this, so
that to live without hope? To consider "Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity" as utopia which will never come true?
