a " not turn off the spirit, keep the door open for you and everyone." This brings the Brandenburg Gate, years back has become a symbol of German reunification. It is considered the gateway to the history of Germany and therefore an open door to the history of all humanity. For Marx, history is a set of changes away from chaos, which can gain insight from large structures: the modes of production. However, Hegel believed that history was still developing a rational structure. There are many opinions about the course of human history and its meaning. But there is something we should all share: the story is the key to understanding the present and, consequently, enjoy it. If it is difficult to understand certain facts present more cost empathize with events back decades. As you know, vint_i_un years ago the Berlin Wall fell and Germany reunified. Afterwards, the communist regime would gradually worn away. Infinity of interpretations could be made about this 2 historical period that lasted for over sixty years, but just try to make a simple reflection.
After long years of capitalism wild , socialism emerged as a reaction to the abuses of the capitalist system. Research first social welfare before individual welfare, which at first may seem harmless, but became flag the subsequent Soviet regime. "Liberty, equality and fraternity" , were the object of social change for Proudhon. Rather were the instrument by instrument autoimmolant end up. When a system is good, there is no why impose it by force. When this happens, is that something happens. Is this happened with communism in the USSR and still happening today in some countries. In one paragraph, the objectives sought were favorable the society that capitalism had already reached the limits of freedom and equality. But the imposition of these two concepts finished with them. Equal suppressed freedom and therefore of human dignity. What is the point when the equality of human dignity is gone? Does it make sense to have a child, a house and a job, like neighbors, but not able to express your opinion or your belief, and even less practice it? But the effects went further. With the long passage of years, the problem of freedom of expression and belief became a non-issue because, simply, later generations could not access any opinion idea, or religion as set out by the regime. The first stage is the sacrifice of these freedoms in order to homogenize society, even in their way of thinking and living, this is slowing the ability of man to innovate, to question ie, to think, ultimately, the ability to develop as a human being. And the USSR did it. Often referring to the Soviet Union in economic and otherwise, in political terms and all the purges and repressions that are carried out. However, one rarely heard about the profound consequences in humans of these long decades of communism. And for various reasons we reflected on this last aspect. The Soviet regime ended with individual freedom but not only economic. But with basic freedoms is the simple fact that a person be. Is it made in the name of equality, shifting the center to place the individual is the collectivity. But what the group but a group of individuals? Each person is unique and unrepeatable is therefore impossible to homogenize society wanted. The equality is only possible when every individual is free to decide, act, think, live. But with freedom matitzada because capitalism shows the other end. One might consider Soviet regime as one of the consequences of communism have underestimated the moral and ethical elements, such as advanced Bernstein. Rosa said that socialism without democracy there can be no socialism without democracy , we see this part has been evident with the USSR and other communist regime in the world today present . Luxembourg to freedom of opinion was key, but it was not respected as many others. One of the freedoms cesades, of which little is talked about is freedom of religion or belief. Yes, we already know that 3 religion is the opium of the people . But these people should be free to try this opium and check it for yourself.
What was the cause of the dissolution of the USSR? This is the typical question with a typical response, the economic collapse. But if we go further, if we enter into society, we can find other answers. Let us look at one of these answers are not economic and minority knowledge today: the revolution morality. That occurred, for example, and specifically in Poland. The claims and non-negotiable demands to the government to declare and confirm that the intrinsic dignity of the person were a first step. These demands put the communist regime in evidence on key aspects of the human person, proclaiming a different vision of human beings, opposed the regime. This awareness of workers returned to their dignity and their ability to organize. Were the same workers who, under a union-called non-communist Solidarity - began to fight for moral values \u200b\u200bof a people subjected to official materialism. This was the revolution of nonviolence. I triumphed. In 1989 elections, where the Solidarity leader became president of the Polish nation. This is an example, not only because of the fall of communism in Poland, but an example of how the labor movement can reach their goals since revolution of nonviolence .
At the beginning we said that history is essential to develop in our present. It is necessary to have this move forward and not fall into the same wells. The USSR, along with other regimes such as Nazism, is an example of how far can the human being diverted from interpretations of the works of different thinkers. With this experience, humanity, that is, each of us has to understand the present and face the future considering all these events on behalf of the equal and the freedom .
