Although with proper diagnosis, your remedy is deadly in the wealth of the few baumanbenefits all of us? said the high price paid today by the triumphant neoliberalism of the 80s and the ‘thirty opulent “that followed, led to a” big lie “(which is true), but do not see novelty in the new parties, dreams of what? the return of the Politburo?

We are experimenting with new ways of doing things”, he said to the daily, but cannot and never will succeed, why not propose anything, just give your negative diagnose problems are there to solve and propose.


The resulting liquidism´s baumanian is inertia, criticizing the network and new forms of manifestations and the methodology of his pessimism, which proposes?
