Public part of a text extracted from www.alaindebenoist.com site, a second part, in which the French thinker speaks of 'altermundistas of anti-globalization, you can read in the author's website. I am limited to the illustrative of the situation, the part that interested me most. Happy reading and good weekend, George Bargna.
ANOTHER WORLD
of A.de Benoist (from "Eléments" 111, translation edited by Simona Belfiore)
"No world," writes Philippe Muraya, "has never been more obnoxious than the present." But what then is this world? After the sinking of the Soviet system, has gone from a world divided into two blocks to a world dominated by a single power, which tries to impose its law to the whole planet. Virtually, this world would be nothing but a global village, where economic progress, from which it is assumed that all may benefit, increase the inevitable evolution towards a political model, the liberal representative democracy, which constitute the United States of America the most complete model. Eventually, the world become a large market populated by ordinary consumers, subject from time to time marching order. Capitalism has deterritorialization. The industrial clusters eventually led to the formation of transnational corporations, whose budgets far exceed those of individual countries. At the same time, nations were asked to lift their trade barriers, to open their borders to people and capital, to promote by all means "freedom" of products and goods. This is the primary sense of a globalization that supports the volatility of markets, relocation, the permanent search for greater productivity, widespread reification of social relations. This system is based on the transformation of living activities in all the merchant. The market is not worth the money if not through. Money is the general equivalent which conceals the true nature of trade which is in charge. In the world market, the supreme law is the logic of profit, which is legitimized by an anthropology of the individual having to be a permanent objective of which is the maximization of self-interest. The gradual subjugation of all aspects of human life to the needs of this logic deconstructs the social bond. It generates a purely commercial company where, as already stated Pierre Leroux, "men are not associated with strangers are not only among themselves, but necessarily rivals and enemies. " The other men, therefore, are not perceived except through their purchasing power and their ability to generate revenue through their ability to produce
to work and consume. The media conform to the wishes and instincts, the price of a radical desymbolization the imagination, producing a false consciousness, a consciousness of alienated. This is exactly the world in which we live. A world without external, which abolished the distance and time, where financial capitalism is not connected to the real economy (the majority of trade in the capital no longer trade in goods), where the real economy develops without consideration limits, where passions are reduced interests, where the value is low on price, where the children themselves become the property (and profits) of consumer durables, where politics is reduced to fair share, where the holders of power are no longer elected and where those who are elected officials are powerless. Such a world is not only threatens the inner life, collective identities, the diversity of living things. It threatens man's own humanity. To counteract the misery and emotional stress to the materials they bring the Formation Capital uses different strategies. On the one hand, it creates new needs without interruption, multiplying distractions and entertainment, propagate the idea that there is no happiness except in a consumer whose horizon is continuously placed farther away. On the other hand, his pretext of fighting against "populism", the "communitarianism", "terrorism", strengthen inspection and supervision procedures. We restrict the freedoms under the pretext of security. He established the 'democracy of the tight-lipped, "to quote Paul Thibaud. To dampen the extent of social movements, to lead people to ask questions, to disarm the new 'dangerous classes' and inclination to make irrelevant their revolt, creating enemies everywhere, demonizing them at will, exploits the cultural conflicts between communities and impact . As always, divides percomandare. The objective is to establish anything that creates chaos to continue to rule without any threat. (....)
