The Exercise Of Power In Difficult Times Of Change

by Ruiz-Diaz ·

Political analysis

Nothing sounds more rude that the word corruption in a country where the practice was the Colorado Party that ruled uninterrupted 60 years and whose legacy is a country mired in poverty.

Nothing generates so much outrage as the repetition of such defects as a common practice of those who exercise power through the civil service.

Nothing generates so much irritation as the reaction of senior corporate officials to defend the accused, citing rehmannia conspiraticias theories.

“Back to jump farther?

by benjamin ·

I am entitled to feel outside the system, as well as to fight it with other weapons. When politicians talk about democracy and citizen participation, I look out the window to entertain myself with other things more rewarding. Perhaps that’s what they want, we move at all, do not disturb them in their shenanigans and outright horse-trading.

Capitalism … a real joke …

by Cubana ·

Here you have a joke that I have received through tuenti, which I found very enlightening.

SON: Dad, I have to do a job for escuela.Te I can ask a question?
FATHER: Yes, hijo.Qué want to know?
SON: What is politics?
DAD: Well, let’s take our home as ejemplo.Yo am who I bring the money home, so I can call “capitalism.” Your mother is the one that manages the money, so we can call “government” . Between the two of you and take care of your needs, then you would be “the people”. A maid can call the “working class” and your little sister would be “the future”. Do you understand son?

The U.S. health reform

by admin ·

CastroBarack Obama is a fanatical believer in the capitalist-imperialist system imposed by the United States to the world. “God Bless America,” concludes his speeches.

Some of his actions hurt the sensitivity of world opinion, which was sympathetic to African American citizen’s victory over a candidate of the extreme right wing in this country. Based on one of the deepest economic crisis the world has known, and the pain caused by the young Americans who lost their lives or were wounded or maimed in the genocidal wars of conquest of his predecessor, won the votes of the majority of 50% of Americans deign to go to the polls in that democratic country.

TWO IMPORTANT LESSONS, by Antonio Alvarez Solis

by benjamin ·

dnn061109solis01_4Two important lessons now these days: one so quiet, the other by what he says. First lesson: not surprising, although we are asleep to a second opinion, the silence that has taken place around the error that confused resounding five firefighters on holiday in France with five ETA? Do not have anything serious Madrid government to explain on its haste to publish the poster with photos of those firefighters among those who identified even at the highest of them as head of the commands within the armed? In times of liberal democracy that mistake had an intense media campaign and the Congress of Deputies have asked important resignations. How can you survive an interior minister to that monumental mistake? For survives and says with absolute disregard for the reason that “has not been done better.” Just that. I hope that the five firefighters bring the matter to the courts of one so vigorously and with extensive explanatory statement. And I also hope that the Catalan government do not put any dirt on the matter because of its fundamental dependence on La Moncloa.

Lords of the four decades

The fact that this “fight” feel sorry, so pathetic. Fito Paez, in an extensive interview published last week in Clarin, said the success he had in Argentina Ricardo Arjona reflected a “cultural annihilation.” If Buenos Aires 35 gives Arjona Luna Park, and Charly Garcia gives you two, you have to think what they mean politics, the newspapers, which are values that were annihilated. ”

THE VERA FERNANDO I knew

by Javier ·

Before the seventh day

“Who’s he?” Was the question I asked him to Euclides Acevedo in the early eighties in a meeting of opposition parties that conglomerate called National Accord Stroessner. My finger pointed to an almost unknown septuagenarian who listened carefully to the speeches. “Although I believe, is a retired International Monetary Fund returned to the country and, moreover, is a socialist,” she replied. The answer I forget, for it sounded so contradictory. Over time, I should acknowledge that the only thing outrageous it was that was in my ignorance.

Great classics of left

by admin ·

obama-y-chavez-libro-galeanoIt is sad and laughter (if not as dramatic theme) the desire and tear with many matches still left clinging to their great classics: the Cuba of Castro, Chavez Bolivarism authoritarian, anti-imperialism. I do not like to see visiting Cayo vip Lara, leader of United Left, the “socialist paradise” of Cuba, nor do I like the warm look of Zapatero’s government on this Caribbean island and the Venezuelan media. When IU leaders expressed their displeasure at the criticism of the Castro regime, peaking the injustice of not similarly criticized the excesses of the U.S. in Guantanamo (is done, friends, it has become), I think they obfuscate the tantrum free. It seems they do not want to shed some old identity features, which distinguish the social perhaps watered down and increasingly liberal PSOE, and continue to defend outdated models and dictatorships that have gone into decline and only time before they reach the End station.
