Manifesto for a human rights policy

The blog that you have before our eyes comes from thinking: if the citizen does not demand of politics there is no policy.

policy is gone, replaced by the administration. The representatives of various institutions to resemble more and more building managers rather than real politicians. We propose listing a host of problems with adjoining foolproof recipe, without all this in a sense other than that of disgust for the other contenders. Of course there are emergencies, the matter should be dealt with Alitalia, the question of waste too. But this is not the point. The policy, for us, begins upstream of these situations.

But what worries us most is that politics has disappeared from the hearts of the people who now identify it with the firm (often dishonestly) the power and live their relationship with it as if they were users a service.

The policy that we understand it has nothing to do with the practice that it does today. For us, the policy must be to fly up your hearts and minds, and it is used to interrogate and interpret the past, present and future, to understand and guide, with imagination, intelligence, ability, courage, sincerity and integrity. Must design and specify you want an idea of society and to seek, proposing steps to move in that direction, and watching that happen and change course when necessary.

The question that we would do our "political" is: you are satisfied with the company you're building? O you need only win? This is the crux of the matter. We believe that this generation of "political" have totally shunned, ignored, misinterpreted this question, if not betrayed. Everybody says that Italy is facing a widespread sense of dissatisfaction, but the answers are always the same, a pragmatism (at best) and poor in ideals of perspective. They thought about the answer to the question of the distance between building and society through a political door to door ", where federalism has given a big boost. But many of us feel closer just meanness.

We have a different idea, and we believe that there are many others who, like us, want a political high, noble, far-sighted, fair, peaceful, setting out the solutions as a result of an overall vision. So, no it is not right deal with concrete problems of life, but from a drawing, a collective dream.

And to say that we were almost convinced. Also we started to think that, all things considered, rightly so, that history has decreed its verdicts.

Even we had started to get passionate about stock market fluctuations and to be familiar with the most income tax brackets that with our consciences. Something was not quite right, but given more purchasing power euro loneliness. Insensibly we began to invest more in our happiness bluetooth in the reports.

Luckily we were the last elections that have made us wake up. Will disappear from the face of the political scene, so naturally, the political forces that, for all their undoubted faults, have always been deployed by some of the rights of the weak was chilling.

Not so much for the solutions proposed that these forces, which in many respects do not agree, but what they symbolize and achievements that were reached by everyone, even those who have not ever voted.

The "truth" that does not convince us

We have repeated ad nauseam that the great ideologies are dead. Achieved this great truth, the political class was immediately acted like children at the sound of the bell: screaming, shouting, opportunism, if not worse. Sartre said that man is condemned to be free. Unfortunately, this great insight was dramatically fulfilled. For us, freedom is a primary value, is the basis on which to build anything. But first and foremost the freedom not to be confused with individualism and the making the conveniences. Second, it must be defended, not a value that can live without the commitment of all its protection as a precious good. Thirdly, freedom may well drown in apathy and misinformation, bogged down in the hallway and indolence, not only to be stifled by the dictatorship.

Instead freedom flown today and derived from the failure of the maximalist ideology of left and right has only given discouragement, cynicism, loss and loneliness. He produced a slow decline in large part to the retreat on their individual interests, the loss of all inhibitions in the civil and moral, to all the trouble responsibility and duty, disillusion towards the future. No accident that the fathers of the French Revolution put the word freedom alongside brotherhood, because true freedom is collective, there is no freedom where it is the exclusive property of a few.

But we wonder: What is ideology? Basically, a reading of the world, from which you derive a number of implications. Certainly we think that any one who has read the claim to be infallible in itself is wrong, as well as dangerous. But that is to say that you can not read any of the world? We believe that the story is taking a direction traced, the problems have some common matrix, you can still aim for a future of a certain type. And we believe that the priority task of the politician is just that: to give a reading of the world, as close as possible to reality, and this engages a large project toward a goal. In other words, to construct an ideology (as we like that word again).

We are told every day that the values are in crisis. We do not see how this is possible. We are not aware that honesty, altruism, respect, gentleness, etc.. have disappeared from the vocabulary, nor in people's hearts. The fact is that the singers of death confuse these values with the rules. What is dead is adherence to a behavior to obedience to a rule set, not the underlying value to certain rules. But by dint of repeating this refrain, you end up with it the greatest excuse to evade responsibility to peacefully values.

We announce that the class struggle no longer exists. There is still hard to believe, given the abysmal distance that exists between the layers of the population. However, in this historical juncture, in our view is more urgent to deal with another kind of class struggle. Ours is a class project. Yes We turn to the class of men. For us, a human being no longer capable of indignation at the dishonesty and injustice and to be touched by the suffering is a human being, but not a man.

Our analysis

Our analysis starts with the observation of the things that the company is creating an atmosphere of opulence increasingly widespread dissatisfaction dull, reminiscent very closely the typical malaise of spoiled children. Have embraced the economy as the only answer to all instances has had devastating effects on people's consciousness. Divided between those who had these responses did not (and rightly suffers) and those who had them but because they suffer the same struggles in a spleen existential. But the answer remains the same: more than GDP, thereby forgetting, among other things, that this attitude, in addition to not contributing to the happiness of people, is leading (and surely would result if all the inhabitants of the planet were taken to standard of living we now enjoy we in the West) to the environmental catastrophe.

Already Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen has been scientifically proven that the inner well-being of the people does not increase with increasing outer well-being, since this leads to addiction to evolutionary advances. Two centuries ago the radiators did not exist, but we challenge anyone to declare themselves happy because now has the radiator.

Our hope

The dream which we declare to join is to all those who are engaged and committed to a nonviolent society, inclusive, equitable, sober, responsible, righteous, ecological, open, friendly, happy.

We believe that opens before us a great opportunity to rethink how and why politics, now that we are freed from the yoke of bias and preconceptions.

we go back to a great tradition, but never enough explored and exposed to political debates and cultural celebrations. A tradition that has done so much for the conscience of the individual, but not enough for the conscience of the community, that of pacifism.

We believe that the prosecutors of this tradition are making a fatal mistake: they are bent over the issue, those on poverty, those on environmental protection, some injustice, but not boldly propose a general proposal, although they would all the qualities and tools. For this we propose to construct an ideology capable of synthesizing the many souls who are part of a unique worldview.

For a new "thing" we need a new "how"

What is radically different from the past is the method by which we come to this. In the era of Web 2.0, the system of delegation is dead. The interpretation of facts and analysis, the contradictions and the solutions can not be the result of developing one or a few individuals who, locked in their study, they draw their conclusions and then subject them to the rest of the world. The ideology must be built, and then continued, in sharing, because it must be everyone's heritage to keep alive his idealistic thrust. Should put into practice every instrument so that people will then be asked to convey is constantly in contact and play with everyone else, as now occurs regularly among the frequenters of the network. Should be avoided at all costs that the agent is privileged compared to those who invested the role of spokesman. It will be necessary to avoid any opacity. Collective participation and total transparency. But also accountability. These are our recipes for people closer to politics. What, actually, this is another fact of the distance of the issues that really do not understand. In fact, people are in politics, so we do not see how they could move away. This is another mystification of those who, by dint of saying it, became truth. People are far from the palace, not by politics. But the building does not coincide with the politics! This is to let people in the building, as is their absolute right, through their representatives and transparent to ensure maximum participation and sharing. We believe that the wealth of knowledge and solutions that comes from networking the knowledge and solutions of all a great value and is the main substance of the network. Yet this extraordinary ability of the palace was never exercised, and fearful of losing their prerogatives. In doing so took away the world from a place that exists to serve the world but then ask accorresse with flags in hand. Our idea of politics can never give up, on the contrary, the contribution of feelings and ideas that people can make to building a better world.

I have a deep respect and esteem for the work of those who, in spirit Lilliputian, have rolled up their sleeves and, without waiting and delegate, have a look around, you are left moved by the problems of other men and have made to work hard every day to give immediate answers to questions, creating a network of rich and stimulating. But we believe it is high time that these positive forces find the courage to speak with one voice to people of this country, offering them the whole concept of society.

We appeal to those thousands of people every day, outside the palace, these living things in a spirit of sacrifice and selflessness. It is no longer time to settle, to be overly humble. The state of things does not delay or withdrawal, but calls for a bold thrust.

We ask those who intends to stand for and represent the citizens to have a history of social engagement. The curriculum should be to get any job, even the most humble, and to make political enough to have some votes to bring in the barn. For us, that we consider a service policy for the community, which is of considerable complexity, it is unacceptable for us to remember the community until the day when you have to sit around the table prepared.

Our "program"

We want to return to the idea of policy that is capable of talking to people, before the pockets. A policy paper that takes as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that stupendous text agreed to unanimously by all the civilized countries of the world and just walked to unanimity. We know only too
well that there are no certainties granite nor outside nor inside of us (if there is one thing we have heard repeated obsessively, to be sure ... is that there are no certainties!), we experience every day thoughts and feelings before the fact, even petty, but we feel strongly that, in the midst of many contradictions, something inside of us continues, fortunately, to distinguish between things.

For this, we turn to that part of everyone who is afraid of losing their dignity, their freedom, their humanity, honesty, at least his soul than he has of losing their social status , work, well-being.

We turn to that part of us that think that the problem of immigration is an issue of misery, physical or moral that is, of despair and death, not border security simplistically.

We turn to that part of us who think that prostitution is a matter of degradation and dehumanization, and hygiene and neighborhoods.

We turn to that part of us who consider the war a great tragedy to be avoided at all costs and not a necessary evil.

We turn to that part of us that think the value of a person depends on what he has done for others, rather than by what was good for himself.

We turn to that part of us that think that the important thing, really, is to participate and does not exhaust its commitment to the community the day when you go to vote or turn on the television to watch any political forum.
And we want to bring out a policy that encourages and enhances this part of each of us.

We want a society where the concept of immigrant is totally outdated, since we can not find any difference between the rights and duties that belong to a human being than another who comes from a different place. Especially if we recognize that poverty this in other places has been largely caused by our behavior and exploited. We deeply unfair desertified the economies of poor countries through competition for their unsustainable industrial production, resource exploitation, the manipulation of ethnic conflicts, the enslavement of workers, the strangulation of agriculture through the recognition of compensation to be hungry, ; unfair competition by providing huge public subsidies to homegrown productions and then slam the door in the face of misery and despair also largely caused by all this. And anyway, even if they had any responsibility (but it is not), would be inhumane to solve our problems simply by ensuring that the poor of the world remain to die at home or elsewhere, provided they are not here.

We are tired of hearing that young people have no values. Are we that we have and that we should create a fertile ground for young people can grow their own in due course.

We are tired of seeing the mighty of the land claim to evade prosecution of persons, putting to shame the journalists who are journalists and judges who are judges. It 's too easy to want to have the power without running the risk of being a target. We hope for a release and a justice that can peacefully do not discount to anyone, because we know that the first victims of those who have always been denied freedom and justice information.

The question of morality and legality is a top priority for us. We paradoxical question of whether or not to nominate or not convicted. Not because we know that justice may be unjust, but because this is not the moment for philosophizing about the issues. Faced with a widespread contempt and annoyance to the rules is imperative to be absolutely fearless witnesses of trust and respect of rules of civil life, even when (as can happen), we hurt. Moreover, we do not believe just an idea put forth by so many men can not be affected by the unjust conviction of a person, while it will surely be whether that person is exempt from the rules themselves.

For us there are just wars, if not for the defense of territory by an aggressor. We know perfectly well that the political weight of a nation depends on its military strength. But we can not trade humanity destroyed by a war with the political weight. It 's a matter of priority.

For us, environmental protection and health come before profit. For these reasons we ask every effort to support all those behaviors thesis to save resources, the total freedom from polluting forms of energy, reduction of human impact on the environment.

We are still exploited. Non crediamo affatto che gli interessi delle persone coinvolte nel raggiungimento del medesimo risultato convergano sempre, ma che vi siano tante situazioni in cui il più forte fa un uso ingiusto della sua posizione. We believe that the task of defining a company that wants to be civil to intervene and correct these distortions.

At the same time, we believe that, where coexist different interests, it is still necessary to seek harmony through dialogue and respect.

We assert the fact of not having all the solutions, but to want to look for. Who says that all the solutions, we believe that one is or is not aware of or has a big braggart. It should also have the maturity to recognize that the solutions are not always available or known, that the policy can not aim to eradicate evil from the world that will always exist, but that will never be less than the commitment to always seek a better way.

To all those who identify with these ideas we call an act of "naivety", almost adolescent. For once, scrolliamoci off the armor of cynicism and disillusionment that have been so adept at cucirci and let him drag the beauty to fight for an ideal.
