We always listen the comment that people always say: I could give my vote
to the candidate Pérez, or to candidate González, nothing is going to change. Why
don`t we believe on politicians?
First, we don`t have real representators. Democracy is a theater.
Today, to be a politician is not a task delegated from a group. It is a job.
And the candidate who is working as senator today, next year will be candidate to
mayor, and next, to deputy. The same faces are repeated
again and again and again, for years. The same faces, from the same “partys”, every
year, far and further of people. Just a picture
of a face on the streets, without content, without arguments, and without
projects.
Second, were do this politicians live? They live, the share
with the citizen who is “represented”? Does the candidate just talk with
comunity, any time? The answer is: Only when they need your vote. And they need
the vote just for don`t lose his job. We have to add that this is a great job (they
don`t earn a low salary…). Adicionally, they can control estrategic areas to
the politic of country. Thay can order the economy in the way they want. Sadly,
this isn`t an issue of right or left. In Chile, all that is the same. Right of
thieves, left of traitors.
That`s why I can`t see me as a politician. No with this
conditions. I think we have to organize and make an independent project, and
left this old habit of vote without think.
Nice post, Vialard... I agree with you in a 95%.
ResponderEliminarHow can we organize to do something different?
If we organize, I'm sure that the new leader raised from the people like you or me, will shortly become into a corrupt leader just like the politicians we already have.
Power corrupts people...
This is a very complicated issue... X_X
Even-though,the organization is unavoidably an political action. According this mind and whereas that we live in democracy, How could born an politician from this organization? This is perfectly possible, but How to predict that if from this organization couldn't to rise an corrupt politician as charlie sayd? Ok, A independent project could be possible, but It was happened, a lot times, really. I'm not saying that we mustn't do nothing, I'm saying that is is unpredictable and finally, a good idea is not a good idea only because the organization agree. A good idea, in my opinion is evaluated by its consecuences. It means that, I don't know, dictatorship could be the best idea in the world for manypeoble.
ResponderEliminarI suposse that the "solution" is to stop to think in this damn paradigm.Maybe it is influence of Festinger but the organization always rise with the same speech. I'm agree with charlie, It is a very complicated issue, you can't convince more people with the one, specially if you don't whereas that the political is corrupted for the leader.
Anyway good post..
