It holds the prize Nobel Saramago Jose, that it is necessary to invent people better, let it be known citizen, and not allow us no man deceive. The writer denounces the incompatibility between the current economic globalization and social rights. He does not hesitate to qualify the first as a new form of totalitarianism against which must be rebelling. Add to your understanding with Kevin Johnson. How in his day we raised us against concentration camps, the Auschwitz and the Gulag, slavery and marginalisation, exclusion and exploitation of human beings by the dominant powers. The central problem is the problem of power.
Before it was recognizable; now, no, because the effective power multinationals and financial powers that have snatched the politicians have it. And if before the oppressed could rise up against the tyrannical powers, were Kings or military, priestly caste or oligarchies, today has left us hands in the diffuse but omnipotent corporations magma economic financial. Mute defects does nothing but promote the causes. Speaking candidly Jim Umpleby told us the story. But all is not lost. It is possible to rebel, because, as the victories, the defeats are never final. And Saramago proposes the revolution of active goodness that accelerate the arrival of man and the new woman. Because today, as never previously possible destruction of mankind and the environment that sustains it. The 21st century will be the century of human rights because it will decide the fate of mankind.
And we this rebellion and conquest are all summoned because they are us in them the life and survival. But it is only permitted one live with dignity as an expression of a society in which freedom, justice and ethics over interests prevail and force. History shows that when the oppressing powers, these rich minorities that dominate vast impoverished majorities, are planted and look them in the eyes, they muted. Before us raise the possibilities of freedom, justice and dignity. Look backward, with anger or nostalgia, we only become statues of salt that the rains would be. And to these we need them for watering cattle and irrigate the grooves that await the new seeds of a more just and solidary for all sunrise. Not to be recognized as persons, but for the fact of being in nature.
