It is today enough to examine all the problems of the world, most of which well are known, and to meditate envelope they normally does not have another effect that to make us less sensible to its reality. But although we are “sufficiently stoic to support the misfortunes of the others”, in the long run the social deterioration affects us to present to all. Who do not suffer direct physical repression must still support the mental repressions imposed by a more and more mediocre world, estresante, ignorant and ugly. Who escape of the economic poverty they cannot escape of the general impoverishment of the life.
And not even at this stingy level it can already continue this one. The destruction of the planet by the world-wide development of Capitalism has taken to a point in which the humanity can be extinguished in few decades.
And nevertheless this same development has done possible to abolish the system of hierarchy and operation based previously on the material shortage and to inaugurate a new form and genuinely released of society.
Jumping from a disaster to another one in its way to the collective dementia and the ecological apocalypse, this system has developed an inertia outside control, even for its supposed owners. As we came near to a world in that we are not able to leave our ghettos fortified without armed watchmen, neither to go out without applying solar protection not to take a skin cancer to us, is the more difficult to take in serious to those who advises to beg for a few reforms.
What lack does, I create, is world-wide a democratic-participating revolution that would abolish so much Capitalism as the state. I admit that it is much to ask, but I am afraid that it will not be enough with any solution of smaller reach to arrive at the root of our problems. It can seem absurd to speak of revolution, but all the alternatives assume the continuation of the present system, that is still more absurd. “
