a party, not a cult.

I Latin America confirms the increasingly one of the most interesting places on Earth at this time. Not easy though enthusiasm for the brilliant achievements of the political process is in place. For some time we are looking for elements that emanate from those experiences, in fact, can be generalized. Universal elements of experience. The field of Latin American political thought offers us some great consistency, perhaps useful to revive the feeble level of debate the European and Italian in particular. One of the issues on which, in practice first and then in theory, the Latin American revolutionary politics is facing very successfully, is that of sectarianism .

N she MANUAL DE fifth draft of social ethics. Apuntes para contribuir a la colectiva de Preparación de la Revolución a Code of Ethics Socialist Bolivarian , edited by Colectivo Gramsci of Venezuela in Chapter 39, we read:

"Sectarianism is a grave evil that strikes dangerously revolutionary life. Fight sectarianism through self-training staff, criticism and self-criticism, is the best way to overcome it and delete it from our body by our social and political practice.

Sectarianism is exceeded only by a profound effort to understand the reality of life and the tasks of the revolutionary transformation in all its richness and complexity.

Sectarianism is the result of a vision and limited understanding of reality, impoverished and the human condition. It is exclusive, divide, segregate, summarizes, is partial, clumsy, limited, impoverished reality, life, relationships, destroys potential possibilities of fruitful relations in daily life .

The cult is both victim and perpetrator of the degeneration of the ideological deformation of reality, meaning ideology in the Marxist sense: a set of perceptions and ideas in relation to a reality not clear to transform it, but that covers and justifies what he has constructed in his imagination, which allows people to say one thing and doing another, to appear different from what they are.

thought sectarian uses the theory and methodology simplified to the extreme, disjointed, which, in alliance with the deadly bureaucracy, are converted into arms rigid and oppressive, sometimes causing irreparable damage to the revolutionary movement.

The word cult is not a simple description, "has a precise historical and sociological significance: a cult is a group or an individual acting as such, that stands as an absolute one-sided aspect or phase of the movement from which it is born, it is the truth of the doctrine, the truth and not other things, makes everything else and to maintain its 'loyalty' to this aspect is separated from the world and live radically, from that moment, in "his world apart". "

[...]

The invocation of the revolutionary phraseology enables the sectarian to think and present themselves as something else, completely different from what they are actually , gravediggers of truth and vitality of revolutionary thought, those that suppress the struggle for the transformation of society, for the emancipation of life. Predators are ideological.

Sectarianism island or anything that qualifies as an enemy or one who does not conform to the rigid structure that has become reality. Harass, pursue, accusation, manipulation by fear, extort and destroy. The action of the cult with bureaucratic power leads to fascism, simply. It is deeply reactionary, undemocratic, exclusive, does not believe in participation, formal of anyone who does not think like him.

For the health of socialism is necessary to fight relentlessly sectarianism, and to stimulate broader and deeper understanding of human .

S I force would be really useless to add anything to that precise, detailed analysis of the phenomenon of sectarianism. Just a remark to state emphatically that the party we have in mind not only remember these words, but above all create the conditions for organizational and ethical practice in his daily life.

Human, All Too Human: transhuman? Still

P u make sense, given the current human condition, characterized, to some extent, even by heightened by problems such as material poverty, spiritual, increased alienation, the recourse to primal instincts through which the current crisis as well as representing the company, it may make sense to speak of overcoming the human condition, so far as known, from the point of view biopsychic? And, moreover, that any overrun would pave the way towards achieving greater happiness?

Q Standard grease the nterrogativi at first sight may appear as less extravagant, but, from our unique point of view, they also point to the problem that we set, strategies for building human happiness. Here would give a long summary of the debate that is developing around the concept of transhumanism But enough for now, at least to frame the issue, a concise definition in the Encyclopedia of Mondoperaio by Riccardo Campa: "The term transhumanism indicates a philosophical doctrine belonging to the family of progressive ideologies. transhumanist intellectuals draw, study or promote technologies aimed at overcoming human limitations. analyze trends, the psychological, the implications ethical and social impact of these technologies, especially highlighting the positive aspects of scientific development, but without underestimating the potential dangers. In the same period indicates that the intellectual and cultural movement, referring to that philosophy, considers possible and desirable alteration in the best sense of the human condition. For 'improvement' means the limitation and, possibly, the elimination of natural processes such as aging, sickness and death, and increased intellectual capacity, physical and psychological man " ( Ulysses. sissa.it/biblioteca/saggio/2007/Ubib070309s001 /? searchterm = field ).

M to why this should be relevant with our discussion about happiness? For the simple reason that transhumanism is the problem of a breakdown of the scientific paradigm, as far sedimentatosi, with the same explosive power with which the philosophers of happiness subvert the deadly ideologies of trouble man. As Campa continues: "So far, two ethics of science are compared on the stage of history, that of the utilitarians and the rationalists. For utilitarians, the science makes sense only if it is useful to man. This view is well represented by that Baconian "knowledge is power '. Rationalists believe instead that science is a good in itself. This view, that evidence is already at the time of the Presocratics, can be summarized in the formula: "knowledge is the duty '. Now we have reached a new vision, which summarizes the lessons of utilitarianism and rationalism to a higher level. With transhumanism, the man comes to realize that: "power is knowledge" ".

C amble of the scientific paradigm, therefore, fresh air and fresh ideas of what to discuss. The Mill on the Party Happiness welcomes continuation of its blades, clear, fresh and sweet water and begins to spin his wheel, slowly for some hours, the fact remains calm with force.
