Re: <nettime> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precarity (one catholic systematically usurping it) |
i don't think there's nothing overly subtle about it. Given agreement on content of the entry, including catholic references not to be intolerant with anybody, one self-styled anarchosocialchristian nuked the discussion by placing the whole entry under the category of "social christianity", which is patently absurd. The "Labor" category contains the history of unionism and syndicalism under which precarity and mayday undoubtedly fall, notwithstanding the misgivings that you, I and others might have on the value and/or desirability of wage work. Anyway I report Marcelo Exposito's superb summary of the issue (which is now being resolved, thanks to all!): "i have been trying for more than a year to fight against this stupid someone until i had to quit - s/he just has free time enough not only to discuss for hours and hours, pages and pages, until you get bored; also to re-re-re-re-edit the page once and again against every simple human logic. i do agree that if many of us insist in the way that alex suggests, the entry will probably end up in a more suitable way - the rubric "social christianity" is based, according to this *@#?!!, on these facts: (1) that some christian activist used the term "precarity" first (?), (2) that toni negri was a christian militant when he was young and he quotes some christian saint in "empire" (!), (3) that euromayday network uses christian imagery in san precario (!!!!!!) - for god's sake!!"
