Alienation

I've had the opportunity to have an interesting talk with young people around the local Socialist Youth Coordinator, and the terminology they managed has reminded me of concepts like the organization of the proletarians, capitalist violence, the workforce, surplus value, and alienation that I've always loved especially.

The worker, thanks to capitalist logic and turned into a commodity dependent on mechanical nature, does not have to think, and thus, without decision-making power, ceases to be the owner of the one who created it.

Without giving my hand to remove the chopsticks from my eyes, the editor has put a job for today’s informative: The non-governmental organisation Walking Borders has published a report on migration in the State and I have to make a video for noon with the data that appear in it.

When I read the data, I have ordered that if I have to sleep, I will fall asleep because it requires that the issues appear raw: In the Mediterranean Sea, in 2021, 4,404 migrants from 21 countries have died or disappeared. Over two hundred of them, children. And they are “official” data, which in most cases conceal the crudity of reality.

"The time has come to watch the informative of noon and I have stood in front of the television. Believe me, I haven't met my video."

The editor has “proposed” me to take a camera and ask the street people their opinion. For my gulf, I thought maybe it would be better to ask an expert to help me interpret that data. But good! If you want, like that.

I've asked questions, I've found some images in the file and I've made the text. Incomplete video.

The editor has called me back before issuing. It looks like the images are too hard. You know, the bloated bodies of drowned children, the coffins on the list, etc.

In addition, it has been a bit long and I would be grateful if I could summarize it. “Sure! “If not, the mandatory information will not be included.” You know…

It is no small thing, and he says that the questions in the text are not appropriate. Asking who has political responsibility, or asking about the responsibility of international institutions not only to take off the big words, but also on the topic of migration, is not “communicative” in “our” informative.

And the time has come to watch the informative of the afternoon and I have stood before the television. Believe me, I haven't met my video. By polishing the data, without the time it takes, without the experts’ light and without uncomfortable questions… I’ve felt like a worker turned into a commodity.

Today also without sweeping home.

Reflecting on the present of yesterday’s philosophers

Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

Deprotection of overprotection

We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]

The silogism of the carpentry

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

Long way in small steps!

The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
