Diseases of the global world

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The devastating characteristics of today ' s global world, wars, ecological and social injustices herald an apocalyptic representation of the future anywhere on the planet. Echoes of the nuclear threat further dispel the concern of fear and concern, while politicians selfishly manage social suffering, with media support from various media outlets, broadcasting aloud to the skeleton of the exhausted life model. This skeleton exalts economic calculus and profitability, whatever the remuneration (killings, extermination) to put power above all economic competition and people's lives, then as a result of power competition. It is the face of the tragedy that exploits extreme neoliberalism.

It is a clear symptom of the crisis of the neoliberal civilizing pattern brought to the extreme, which not only revitalizes wars and destroys lives, but is demonstrating the breakdown of the social link, individualisations, the brutal precariousness of the labour markets, the violation of the rights to a dignified life, the uninhabitability of an exhausted life. This uninhabitability of the world today indicates the need for an anthropological transformation: the need to produce a new complete emotional skeleton of the current human being, more related to the vital desire of peoples and people in their deep character, closer to recreating and enabling the conditions of a more livable world for all.

"Before mass homogenization is at stake the ability to articulate from the 'small' and the 'native', human capital is the greatest treasure of small peoples"

In spite of that, when we have had such a widespread feeling of uninhabitability among many citizens, I would say that we would like to enthusiastically adhere to the very life model of the system that has led us to collapse, in the last blind attempt to re-establish the speed of the vicious circle of growth. This contradiction is nothing more than a consequence of the neoliberal identity that we are all trapped in. Its paradox is that the neoliberal identity experiences the desire to restore the vicious circle of growth, but at the same time does not accept the metabolism of slimming of forced growth, the need to relearn to live “otherwise”, it is strange.

Look, the future of the world in which we live will be darker if we do not accept this fact, because we will get worse and worse; and with it we will be about to lose at full speed the distorted life of mankind.

The cracks in the development model of the global world will not solve markets or technological advances; the first is to reverse the sterile idea of what science will save us and reaffirm that the issue is at stake in the political struggle. Faced with massive homogenization, the ability to articulate from the “small” and the “autochthonous” is at stake, human capital is the most powerful treasure of small peoples, the urgency and the obligation to strengthen naturalness and sovereignty.

The ability to relocate to the global can be exercised through the deconstruction of neoliberal identities, or both at the same time, as they both give each other. Articulating the local, educating the citizen who chooses simplicity, not for unlimited consumption, but for the exploitation of their own resources, whether agricultural or independent technology, priming, knowing and appreciating the local.

Faced with these assertions, the “relocation” of the territory is the most exciting starting point to respond to the evils of globality, the empowerment of small communities is the opportunity and the most powerful force to rebuild a new future, a direction to act from us. We are at the moment to push for political, economic and social measures to strengthen sovereignty, prioritizing the local option. There is no alternative but to advance sovereignty and increase the constructive logic of small peoples in reinventing and rewriting the world from us.
