Vespa How Do You Change A Battery
How do I extend the time over indiscipline and rebellion, beyond the specific moment of catharsis where he puts the body of the crackdown in the streets?
When there is not a political strategy and ideology in the long run lead the way, we end up depending on the mood and emotion of the moment.
Emotions are essential in the fight. No one would be willing to risk losing their lives and, if necessary, solely for having understood the concepts of surplus value theory or abstract work. No real emotions, no feelings, no dreams and fantasies life would be extremely boring and the class struggle would be just a black theater of the absurd, full of automatons, puppets or rational bureaucrats.
But revolutionary politics can not be subject to erratic swings of mood. We are subjected to the challenge of looking a little beyond the immediate situation and the sway of our emotions daily.
There appears, in the foreground, the irreplaceable importance of the revolutionary culture of the organized will of struggle, the ethics of rebellion, creating uninterrupted socialist consciousness and subjectivity insurgent. The need for a conception the world and an ideology of its own, not others. The need for formal training to develop, collectively, a strategy.
overcomes the appeasement-posterior and the danger of cooptation ... - following the mass rebellion involves hard work, anonymous, persistent and long term. Ant work or, in the terms preferred by Karl Marx, a bullet work.
The revolution even in the wildest insurrectionary strategies, never accomplished overnight or produced spontaneously by an instant and sudden spasm. Even today, mainly fads knowledge in the university, but also in the odd-thousand people's organization and narrative supposedly spontaneous and "horizontal" revolutionary consciousness never comes automatically. You have to conquer. Must be created.
Nothing grows spontaneously, except weeds. Without a struggle for consciousness and socialist hegemony, common sense is passive feeding on the enemy's ideology. Let's not forget the dictatorship of the media in which we live! Without a political work and long-term social consciousness can, at most, to the extent of visceral anger and ... temporary rage against the bosses. But nothing else!. To move from the wrath and anger into political action, we must plant, must be paid and should be watering every day common sense. It is the only way to flourish within it socialist consciousness and values \u200b\u200bof new men and new women.
The construction of this new subjectivity, anti-authoritarian, anti-bourgeois, anti-patriarchal, capitalist and imperialist, that is, socialist, never was nor will be the result of an administrative decree (although that decree has the prestigious label of multiculturalism French poststructuralism U.S. both to fashion ....)
For more heroic then was, the revolt of 19 and 20 December did not last forever. Then came, once again, as often happens, the work of tweezers. The stick and carrot. The lion and the fox, as Machiavelli said. The combination of repression (the slaughter of Puente Avellaneda picket against movement, repression in the plant recovered Brukman against their workers, etc..) And attempts to co-opt (the new government's appeals to 'national capitalism', their tables dialogue, subsidies, etc.)..
What happens is that all rebellion is temporary if it fails to settle over time. Without a systematic and organized struggle for social hegemony within our people will never achieve lasting change. That our dead and 19 and December 20 do not forget also dependent on us.
consciousness, political culture, popular subjectivity and common sense of subaltern classes and are exploited as areas of dispute. Are not crystallized, are open and moving. The theoretical and cultural battle in all these areas becomes, then, in a collective task urgent and long term.
