The Left Anchor

We know very little about life, and therefore tend only guess … And guess might be different … Take the same genes - in fact they recorded virtually all information about a person - from what it would be before he gets in his old age … Moreover, - Mind and other garbage - that, too - without any evidence. After all, man can not control almost anything from your body - NOTHING. Starting from the simplest - such as give orders to speed up hair growth or increase the rate of digestion and finishing order of the body, for example - to grow a leg to replace the lost … NOTHING. The body lives by its own laws - itself supplies the air, require and digesting food (Producing it with nutrients), fights with microbes, heals wounds, toxins, etc.

Democracy is surely the highest ideal that has historically developed social life. The underlying principle of democracy is: “what concerns all should be able to be considered and decided by all.”

It has many forms: direct, as it is lived in Switzerland, where all people participate in decisions via referendum.

The representative, in which more complex societies elect delegates, on behalf of all, discuss and make decisions. The big problem now is that representative democracy is unable to rally the forces of a complex society with its social movements. In societies of high inequality, such as Brazil, representative democracy assumes characteristics of unreality, if not farce. Every four or five years, citizens have the possibility to choose their “dictator” who, once elected, is more concerned with making a palatial policy to establish an organic relationship with the social forces.

This article shows an example of the complicity of dictatorship (and the conservative media) had to large industrial and financial companies that got big profits at the expense of the health and quality of life for their workers.

“The Fable of the Bees, or private vices make public prosperity”

Luis Gonzalez-Carvajal, in Ideas and Beliefs of the Man Today “tells us something interesting to ponder. The paradox that a sum of infinite selfishness leads to the common good was expressed for the first time in 1714 in the famous work of Bernard Mandeville ‘Fable of the Bees “which reads:

“There was a hive that looked like a well-ordered human society. Do not miss the scammers, not the bad doctors, priests or ill, or ill soldiers, nor the bad ministers. Of course, had a bad queen. Every day frauds were committed in this hive, and justice, called to suppress corruption, was itself corruptible. In short, each profession and each estate were full of vices. But the nation was not the less prosperous and strong. Indeed, vices of individuals contributing to public welfare and, of rejection, the public welfare caused the welfare of individuals.

The great Sufi mystic Rumi said: Today, like any other day, we wake up empty and frightened, not open the studio door and start reading. Take a musical instrument Let the beauty we love be what we do, There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

And politics has continued to argue, has chosen the path of sorrow, fighting, the division. Any idea of change and improvement has been sacrificed for the sake of the party. We loved everything that was beautiful.

The winning party in almost all electoral processes in European capitalist democracy is the party abstention. The election results are illegitimate by an apparent lack of voting quorum. With this system a political party professional, hired by banks and backed by the newspapers of the pimps, who has managed to capture through false promises of a fourth or fifth minority voters on the total electorate eligible to vote, will be the acclaimed winner of the election and may serve comfortably to their financial masters with a relaxed parliamentary majority.

Bit lost underground. Clear future, not so much digging soil, rebuild bones. No one in those graves. They are after all the souls fly free. No beat in the gutters. It never has been, but there are indelible memory and immortal memory. What there will be no memory of those who fought and died for justice and freedom?
