The recent publication of the book in Spain Indignaos!, Stéphane Hessel and prior distribution through the network in particular, has had great impact in many consciences of those who, like myself, need to read or hear opinions that move us to reflection and repositioned us in this world, being aware where we have got and we are prepared to try, or at least support, the momentum toward the necessary changes.
Part of the interest of lbro / pamphlet lies in the person and personality of its author and in particular their age and history of continual struggle, but above all, for all its content, which I venture to highlight the following excerpts:
Together, we must ensure that our society is a society of which we estarorgullosos: not a paperless society, expulsions, of distrust towards immigrants, not the society that questions the jubilaci''on, the Right to Social Security, not the society where the media are owned by wealthy people.
They dare to say that the state can not guarantee the costs of these measures citizens. But how is it that currently do not have enough money to maintain and extend these gains when wealth production has increased significantly since the Liberation, a period when Europe was in ruins, if not because the power of money, ..., has never been so big, brash and selfish with everyone from their own servants to the highest echelons of the state. Banks privatized care much for their dividends and high salaries of their leaders, not the public interest.
Indignaos! Policy makers, economic, intellectual, and the whole society can not surrender or be impressed by the current dictatorship of financial markets that threaten peace and democracy.
... reasons to be indignant today may seem blurred or the world too complex. Who's the Boss, who decides? It is not always easy distinguish between all the currents that govern us. It is no longer a small elite, whose trickery understand perfectly. This is a vast world of interdependence which we perceive clearly. We live in an interconnectivity as has ever existed. But there are things in this world unbearable.
should not exasperate them, we should hope. The exasperation is the negation of hope. Understandably, most would say it is natural, but precisely because that is not acceptable because it yields the results that may eventually lead to hope.
The future belongs to non-violence, reconciliation of different cultures.
productivist thinking, sponsored by the West, has dragged the world into a crisis that must be breaking out dramatically with the flight forward of "always more" both in the financial sector and in the domain of science and technique. It is time that concern for ethics, justice, and sustainable balance to prevail.
We call "a real peaceful uprising against the mass media do not offer the horizon for our youth more than the mass consumerism, the disdain of the weak and the culture, generalized amnesia and the competition uncompromising of all against all. "In any case, Hessel also encourages us to have confidence and not lose it.
I hope so.
