"L a great rock'n'roll swindle" will headline one of the most famous album of the Sex Pistols.
I l capitalism, globalized as socio-economic formation, propina since 1989 his big scam: the failure, irreversible socialism. And since then, his gurus have promised to build a world of peace and prosperity for all ...
D to then, however, we have only seen the multiplication of wars, the progress of environmental destruction, the spread of hunger and epidemics, rising unemployment, lower purchasing power of the so-called wages and pensions, with which you do not live longer now, the deterioration of the city, the degradation of men and women, the mass distribution of drugs and alcohol, sadness printed on the faces of youth, despair over those of the elderly, boredom and anxiety on those of adults.
I the century that has just ended, the quick to quote Eric J. Hobsbawm, saw humanity bleed in two world wars and between these two, the ambitious attempt, titanic in some ways, unrealistic by many, to build a society based on equality, liberty, fraternity men and women, in which they became emancipated forever from the forces "blind" to which their existence was conditional.
Q uest'ambizione, in the name of which so many have fought, they were persecuted, imprisoned, and died eventually triumphed, was called socialism .
The world has changed thanks to that experience, good and evil, and capitalism itself, in its ferocious fight to destroy it, he changed himself, refining his techniques of propaganda, making his scientific method of aggression, armed and otherwise, to countries, learning to fight better in the countries it dominated from the danger of a socialist revolution.
And yet this humanity, at which less than twenty years ago, promising paradise on earth, proves that he is in desperate need of change, leaving the situation more difficult each day in which he is, to find a solution to many problems that an existence devoid of any sense in the sociological meaning of the term, the puts forward. And it does so in a thousand different ways, in countries dominated by imperialism by fighting it and trying to build a developing autonomous and independent, so-called industrialized countries through the many forms of protest staged to defend the conditions of material life and spiritual (by strikes for contract work, to protest against the degradation and the ghettoization of the suburbs against the war and military adventures, for civil rights, for labor, environmental, health).
P IU or less consciously, humanity is looking for a road, a way out. More or less consciously, even now there are men and women who work to find it.
C look back on course, because without memory there can be no future, to learn from mistakes, because it is not, of course, to defend uncritically the experience of socialism in the twentieth century .
S the question, in fact, to build the socialism of the XXI century . A difficult, yet exciting, to build happiness.
