Democracy, politics, power, the State and the system

Naeem12

How awful! How tired! What monotony! How boring! Always the same, always the same! Like in the blues. When it seems to end: Turn around . Start again. And the same thing again. Like the endless thread. Like the story of the good pipe. And so forty years. There were people of my generation who fought generously against the Dictatorship and who in the transition immediately “smelled the toast” and gave up. Others, forty years later, remain prisoners of the enchantment of democracy. We continue to pay attention to the political panorama, seeing how they alternate in power, how new forces appear and how they falter and become distorted. We continue and will continue to be excited, still in disbelief, with the latest news. With the same hope as someone who plays the Lottery.

Let us at least get the stones. But nothing and until the next draw! Another four years scanning the landscape and seeing on the news with anger how the words and actions, of both, go along paths that do not meet. How politics is pure tactics to preserve or maintain what they call power and is nothing other than service to power. How he justifies everything. How this concrete pragmatism exhausts political action without any room for ethics, aesthetics or even strategy. The Active Phone Number List beginnings are the ends. The medium and long terms are right now, immediacy. We will have to swallow the truth that democracy is the least bad of the political systems And the moment of voting arrives, which exhausts the citizen's required political activity and only serves to blame them for democratic malfunctions. In the worst case. Because if we are in good spirits, we will have to swallow the truth that “democracy is the least bad of the political systems.” Which closes the way to criticism and improvement. And we were so plump! And at that moment we notice that the electorate behaves like birds.



He flees or migrates from one party to another, but without apparent reason, without congruence, without there being justification for the change. At least the birds migrate for climatic reasons or flee in disarray due to hunters' shots. Because the electorate does not “is”, it flows. He does not marry an idea, but adopts it as a lover for an election day, at most a weekend. And so those who voted for the PP now vote VOX or the other way around, those who voted for C's now vote for VOX or the PP or the PSOE or abstain, those who voted for the PSOE now vote PP or UP or the other way around. And if you analyze it coldly, you will come to the conclusion with me that this is what happens because everyone is or, as a result, ends up being the same. At least substantially and ultimately. VOX was born from the PP and is flesh of its flesh and blood of its blood and many of its differences (Europeanism, Autonomous Communities. are props because it is not foreseeable that at some point it will be able to reach the majority needed to reform the Constitution. They are so much the same that the PP conveniently introduces VOX into its governments and accepts its programmatic postulates.
