Re: <nettime> Corbyn as a medium is the message |
Of course I think Richard tells the true situation. And often I agree with Alex but this time I disagree with him. Of Precarity: precarious is no more a relevant concept substituted to the low social classes in the new critical political economy because now it is a global materialist reality under different statements (can be due to the capitalist neoliberal rules, can be the new wars, etc.). The time of empiric practice as a laboratory equal a fund of experience from which to learn and rethinking from it is come. If you persist in the meta-postmodern theory you miss the democracy while fascism -- included financial capital as facism -- will definitly emerge as radical dominant power of the west (without any rule of equivalence of the value with the people) on this earth that we know mortal -- not only the people. If you fear reactive nationalism you are true but it is a view far from to be enough wide. But not sure that Corbyn will be the winner on saturday even if as European I warmly hope that he will. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/10/jeremy-corbyn-all-ey es-as-labour-leadership-voting-ends as European  I hope that he will. Why?  (sorry for my leaden english. speaking) 1. Because the UK is not eurozone. 2. Because the time of virtual theory applied to the society of meta-democracy is prescribed. Even outside the TV The revolution will not happen but a killing revolution -- this one that the financial and military power are doing. Now it is the time to come to the practice included the practice of power in a democracy and/or in a meta-democracy. Probably UK is the last one or the more exemplary among the surviving democracies. Because the UK is not eurozone. Corbyn as event is a first step for european citizen. After the failure of Greece it is important to understand if out from the eurozone (even before the claim of whether it is wise to establish a State out of it) if such a program like Corbyn presents is able to be elected to power. It is not a revolutionary program but socially acceptable by the active left; the UK is currently the alone power among the States that may affect the authority in the Schengen area without being linked to the eurozone. So it is the only program that could stem the austerity by partly turning back and partly by novating out of it for restoring some acceptable welfare for all and a certain solidarity... The program emerges from a traditional power but paradoxally is the european alone after the most advanced democratic performance (plus financial recovery and economic recovery) of Islandic. Can you or not, outside the eurozone, but in a democratic--can be meta-democratic-- country of financial capitalism, make for restoring a sharing state for the people (as well citizens and as immigrated people) up without a coup by the banks through their reaction under a brutal form against the population or other indirect recourse from the legal system? Then the eurozone countries can think about the avaibility of their own first step -- leaving the eurozone but staying European (with the understanding that eurozone will not change due to the Lisboa treaty). It is vital that sovereignist must not be confused with nationalist. From this it depends the possible future of a democratic federal Europe having different regime of euro parity as supra-value, or UE centralized but fascist. Because the current UE rule is firstly to catch money to contribute to the financial euro stability and ensure the banks. Hurry up the UK! We are waiting for you.
