"In troubled times, better not to move" , pray conventional wisdom in one of the endless assertions of English proverbs. However, when failure is unavoidable as a custom install, it raised the ideological impresincidible that have led to a crisis that has already lost the adjective "cyclical" and that clearly has the characteristic of endemic and structural.
Many entries in this blog, I defended the idea that it was a great disgrace to Spain that the international financial crisis has caused the final outcropping of our indigenous ills. It was almost as if a serious flu hide the pain caused by metastases. It is logical that the Government wanted to blame others dispersing responsibilities in the international context or blaming it figures that have been anathematize preterit in what Jung called "collective unconscious" (preferably, Bush and Aznar). Less logical and far more unfortunate is that many who do not defend or feel represented by this Government have internalized the superficial explanation that the pain suffered due to this serious flu which we are caught like everyone else and not our disease homeland: socialist statism wherever we look, lack of training at all levels of effort and unpopularity of meritocracy and demonization of competitiveness and the free market.
Despite the black of the situation, I recognize some "green shoots", very different from those in the hallucinations of the Minister of Economy (remember that, next to the infamous day zapateril "Public", said 15 months ago we were already out of the crisis).
Look at this Chinese ideogram:
Both versions are used interchangeably to refer to two concepts: Crisis and Opportunity.
The Liberals believe we carry for several years (a few) and many years (another few more veterans) blamed for our social stagnation, economic and ideological, a number of issues. Namely, the overlapping of administrative levels the renunciation of the effort as a basis for successful state hypertrophy, the inevitable appropriation of general interest by politicians, corruption and political system isntaurado and unappealable, the no separation of powers, the systematic attacks against capitalism, socialism and religion mandatory belief in society, double standards against native religions and in favor of the more destructive versions of the alien, the ambivalence of the facts as to carry out one or the other, the outrageous spending, lack of ideas and further lack of ideology, ignorance as a requisite for a happy existence only in appearance but in fact lazy ...
And that is where I see green shoots timidÃsimos: in ideas. Had to get an international crisis which we sum in a country for more serious but I finally heard a still small but frequently much higher than ever before, voices criticizing the state of the autonomies. We even have a government of the PSOE which, while recognizing that bound by other-dare to make unpopular cuts . These are tiny changes, probably temporary, but should be used by liberals to insert a wedge solid ideas and systematically ignored because the powerful in Spain (large employers and unions) are not interested in anything that smacks of true capitalism, competition, free markets and equal opportunities. Both sectors are fighting each other, only to pull out legal privileges to each other. Liberalism is, in essence, a struggle against unjust privileges . Therefore, there is nothing more revolutionary liberal.
people when he talks about change, talk of a successor party to another as head of government. So today in Spain, is a little cosmetic change. Disposing of the PP and PSOE real ideological alternative to the real change is starting with the ideas, which spring from individuals who yearn to feel free to pay more than taxes and vote every 4 years to a closed list of parties and freedom- inbred.
green shoots will not germinate without spreading in the most complicated but also more efficient: the word of mouth, or "brain to brain." Our freedom is at stake. Does not worth to fight for it? Undoubtedly, if we keep doing what we're doing, continue getting what you're getting: reduction of individual freedoms, increased statism and government interference in our lives.
's time to try to do something different. It's time to change, but not political stands, but something far more fruitful and powerful: the ideas.
