Blog Marcos L. Mucheroni Filosofia, Noosfera e cibercultura

The inability of a deeper reading of reality, which sustains and advances to proposals the darkness night that passes not only thought, but together with it the whole of society, has no possible answer and the resulting it is a more “tragic and comic” and “eternal return ” .
Ah how good was that time … the majority of the silent population suffered without complaining, the networks that gave voices (not always positive is true) to society as a whole now no longer want to hear more empty criticisms of postmodernity, liquidity than ever was solid, or to a technicist triumphalism to Frederic Jamenson, who is a Marxist, it is good to say.
The sterile critique of consumerism and individualism was not able to penetrate into the essence of the great social, moral, and spiritual problems of our time, as Heidegger would say, the emptying of being, is nothing but the nihilistic void that Nietzsche had already pointed out in the nineteenth century.
In the Brazilian case it is even poorer, we are between inflamed speeches about sexual issues, cheap accusations and fake news, promoted by the media without any thought, and also by the lack of a deeper debate of social, urban and global problems.
The result will be disastrous no matter what, and the main function of democracy that is education for citizenship has been lost between stabs and bursts of authoritarianism, bursts of inflamed speeches about accusations about who stole more, we can not cook stone and wait for a soup , an allusion to a famous stone soup that exists in Portugal.
I have not been able to convince conscious friends and even religious people that the scale of violence would lead to an inevitable disaster, the choice of candidates who are experts in this line, and I hope to be wrong, but the consequences will be terrible for the country.
Although there is an authoritarian emergency of government on the planet, in the Brazilian case the debate did not go to the line of proposals and concrete government actions, and we can not expect that in 2 days this will reverse, we now dream of a second round, it is like twisting to a draw when the team could win a thrashing.
What was the strategic mistake, from the outset, to fall into the violent provocation of the violent, poor democracy and poor country that does not look at poor people except in the elections

We have already pointed out in several posts the premises and their misconceptions of the idealist view of the state, now in check due to the emergence of authoritarian governments, corruption and almost intermittent cycle crises in many countries.
Let us begin with Hobbes, for whom philosophy had a practical foundation (it is what some say today, astonished), that is to say, it must be useful and thus discard any and all view that may have aspects of metaphysics, and together with it spiritual or theological .
The Hobbesian view is no different from Machiavelli (also invoked today), in the sense of favoring the idea of sovereign, although the centralizing state of this period had the monarchs’ tutelage, essentially does not differ from certain “emperors” today, since the way of dressing (the emperor is naked) to the posture, of a Putin, for example.
The idea of coercive restraint of the state for the “eternal peace” peace-vision of modernity is nothing more than that which Mostesquieu called the “Spirit of the Laws” that is, peace will be eternal with a strong and coercive state; who shout in the streets today (some).
The “paleolithic” passage of this peace that led to two wars for the “neolithic” state of the welfare state should not be new, but it is, because it has not completed its cycle, the sad reality is that it can not even complete because concentration of income only increases.
The sad thing is that the solution is just around the corner, a good political will and a clearer idea that a bloody revolution is not necessary, but to isolate from the state those harmful elements that do not let society breathe, I am not only talking about economic ones ( which include corruption), but mainly of the concept of “coercive” state in fashion.
We return to the previous cycle, even to the “Wealth of Nations” that Adam Smith spoke of and Marx read, but this is economically unfeasible in a world with a globalized economy. Let us return to coercion, which inspires so many authoritarian voices (even to the left), without the joint solution of the economic problem it suffers a growing scale of violence without a return, and worse, it arms more and more enslaving forces of the “manpower” available in the informality.
What makes a conscious part of society, enters the wave of violence not only verbal, but physical and moral violence that interests the authoritarian groups that long for power, to return to the old modern state of “coercion” and “eternal peace.” In the Brazilian case it is critical, it has entered in this way and already seems without return, I hope not.
