Special Report: Members or political operatives? Special Report last week showed us a political reality that although they perceived more or less, the issuance of this program did a lot clearer as some lawmakers act. The unfortunate thing is that several of the members of this region are mentioned in that investigative reporting, and more, among top lawmakers who presented to and not any of the Araucanía Region.
After that, the arguments of the Members concerned to make excuses for his reprehensible conduct, the only thing that has worsened failure. It has been brought more or less as follows, "I owe to my constituents, so I have to spend more time making efforts in Santiago, in ministries to help save them," another noted, "because I go to my district, I assent of Congress. "
The excuses are so basic that show the brazenness, arrogance and shamelessness of the actions of these parliamentarians. In case the DC José Miguel Ortiz, deputy Conception holds the world record of parliamentary assistance and that has earned the highest re-election parliamentary majorities since 1989 to date, no efforts made to his constituents, or the deputy RN Viña del Mar Francisco Chaguar that has the record for most number of drafts submitted to the House, is not present in your district, or former House Speaker Patrick Walker DC took 54% in the last re-election to his district does not concur, in order There are many examples of good deputies, who unfortunately is not the case in our region, even if they could have few exceptions. The truth is that the arguments that led to two deputies of the region are clearly in the images of the Special Report, are what in political science is called "political operators" and not parliament, that they have to do for excellence is legislate and represent their constituents the Voters in parliament, of course to make arrangements before the authorities, but more, introduce laws and set the national agenda issues, none have done and finally are just that, political operatives are based on patronage and basic needs people to maintain their share of power
Without national leadership and with little regional proposals then we can explain the meager unemployment, Simco, private investment and poverty across our region. Finally to see these poor numbers, ask what kind of leaders we have or are simply political operatives ...
The counterculture, the new anarchism * The pseudo-anarchist
There is nothing more conservative than the current anarchist movement both locally and globally, that since its conceptual origin movimental we can find it in the late eighteenth century in what was its initial seed in the work of William Godwin in his work " Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, "from that date to today compared to those anarchists formed, rebel and daring, far from existing inorganic movements, disjointed, mostly without content and the current conservative pseudo anarchists, since all who has been retained the name but not the spirit of the original anarchism, have not been able to transcend and find a new performance. Sébastien
Faure wrote in the 20s of last century in the "Encyclopédie anarchiste" "anarchist doctrine is summed up in one word: freedom," some will say that this is still the spirit of anarchism, but others agree with me that the concept of Freedom is now closer to the spirit of liberalism even liberal socialism Norberto Bobbio points out that the current pseudo-anarchism, he can not represent the flag released as absolute control of their movement, why freedom and expression and no concept even just a monopoly of liberalism, has to do with one of the basic right universal humanity has already won.
"In this context it may be an anarchist today? Their representatives are so diverse that the only thing that unites them is noted anarchists and perhaps most trainers use. On the other hand his sense of rebellion is far from the first ideologues like, Proudhon and Bakunin, Stirner and Malatesta, Kropotkin and Tolstoy, as these had an ideological definition of selfishness and the ultimate goal was the full realization of the Self, what which involved the denial of the Authority, the State and the Law
The counterculture
The so-called anarchist current is embedded in what has been called mass society and therefore unlike the conventional ideological anarchist, now that there is a kind of countercultural character.
However, it may be debated whether the pseudo-anarchists are countercultural or not, but beyond this discussion, the truth is that they are identifiable by their postures, their fashions, their rebellious youth with current counterculture ideas. In turn, this movement has its origin in the United States of America (the nation that our pseudo-anarchists reject), was in New England where Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Thoreau plated their dissatisfaction with the theories of Western Christian civilization and his belief in the in the goodness of nature. These romantic individualists valued self-reliance and hated mass society, where there are only limiting freedom. For their part, militants of the counterculture rejected current postmodern society, and a number of causes, whether environmental, social, anti-arms and anti-imperialist, some are (the more educated) to certain ideologues now called "alternative" as Chomsky, Marcuse, Roszak, Boulding, Denegri, Heilbroner, Ehrlich, Tinbergen, Stiglitz (last time) and more. Our counter-current
are mostly young rebels (inherent issue of youth) and some lolosaurios, seeking a sense Group membership. In this sense, once democracy was consolidated and this was normal, went to the novelty of the years '1990s to the disaffection of the system of 2000, is in this context that these groups are mostly age and their differentiation and the apparent defiance expressed by how they dress and identify themselves. The paradox is that trend and fashion critics, but ultimately fall into the same. An icon of this generation is the Canadian Naomi Klein, who a few years ago became famous for publishing the book "No Logo", which was opposed to the kind of popular trademarks as well as fierce criticism of the influence advertising on the economy. But Klein wrote this from his exclusive and luxurious loft in King-Spadina area (to get an idea. Your property is compared to a loft in SoHo in Manhattan).
So as in Klein's book where everything is complaint, counter-proposal lacks, it is not that good or bad, so, the counterculture movement is itself contradictory, because its development occurs primarily in companies rich and developed, which in Latin America is a copy we played a little snob of sectors uncomfortable with the local culture. In this sense, these pseudo-anarchists or counter, the most conservative forms evolve and institutional behavior, once their biological the call to assume new social responsibilities. The mere social culture
Certainly our interconnected global world, far from the cabin of Henry David Thoreau, the old pioneer of civil disobedience. Today we recognize ourselves in this global village global, diverse, multicultural, cosmopolitan. In this recognition of diversity is implicit respect for the human person, which is essentially equal in their human value but different in their origin. Just how different is the richness of cultural diversity, hence arises the respect that we have as individuals who demonstrate participation of different cultural expressions in the context of a heterogeneous society.
We live in a society today in politics, marketing and communications, full of different people whose fates are sometimes played by the flight of a butterfly. A complex and fragile, more real and transparent, more open and spacious, but cruel at the time of competition, a world of diverse culture, multiple ...
In this I agree with Heath and Potter Canadian sociologists, who say "We do not live in the 'parent', or in the spectacle. The truth is that the world we live in is much more prosaic. It consists of billions of human beings, each with its own concept of well-trying to cooperate more or less success. There is no single, comprehensive all-encompassing. Unable to lock the culture because 'culture' and 'system' does not exist as isolated events. What you need is a potpourri of social institutions, mostly grouped tentatively divided the advantages and disadvantages of social cooperation in a fair sometimes, but usually very unfair "(2005: 19).
Anarchist, counterculture, religious, political, athletic, in short, all members of society though imperfect, improved with intelligence and passion.
