• Unmasking the Covert to Exalt Justice and Equity

    Those who dominate always try to cover up their interests and privileges. If they did not, they would face greater resistance. To achieve this, they take over the hegemonic media, key sectors of the judiciary, education, certain think tanks and any other institution that allows them to colonize minds and mold subjectivities in their favor. In this way, they capture democracies or reinforce autocracies. This terrible impasse will have to be resolved if we want to live in societies that banish poverty and the harshness of subjugation, peaceful societies that zealously defend the environment, that extol equity, justice independent of …

  • Looting with Deception, Repression, and Impunity: A Paradigmatic Case

    Those who plunder on a global and national scale use deception and repression ensuring their impunity. It is something inherent to the process of concentration of wealth and the most important decisions. The multiple mechanisms employed conceal the interests at stake and how punishments and privileges are distributed. A paradigmatic case that allows us to visualize the looting is how those who dominate present a fiscal deficit and address it.  There was always looting all over the world. Huge populations were subjugated by powerful minorities who extorted, repressed, and profited. This is still the case in the captured democracies of …

  • WHO WANTS WAR?

    Friedrich Nietzsche’s mortuary mask and cover of the original edition of The will to power We have entered a new geopolitical era marked by cruelty and pettiness and by the recourse to war with spurious interests. Among the major powers there is neither the will for peace nor the true will for power – translated as strategic intelligence in favor of humanity. _____________________________________________________________ At the beginning of 2024, I spent a few days in the delightful village of Sils Maria, in the Swiss Alps, next to St. Moritz and south of Davos. Sheltered from the snow, I was able to …

  • The fishing grounds in which fascism fishes

    They fish in choppy waters. Desperation, the absence of expectations, or anger towards the infamous life that has fallen to their lot are the ideal breeding ground for ultra messages to penetrate[i]. The disinherited voting the far-right make up one of the most lacerating paradoxes of the times we are living in. If we add to this a generation of young people with as much desire for strong emotions and adventure as they are lacking in culture, then we find the perfect cocktail. A time bomb at the service of the regression in both Europe and America that has been …

  • Reflections

    About generating respect or instilling fear A sense of anguish invaded the bodies to the point of generating that feeling of isolation, desolation, and uneasiness that Arendt masterfully describes. And this is no coincidence. They want us to be depressed, scared, and defeated. If generating respect is the direct consequence of a good ruler, instilling fear is the maneuver of the tyrant. Sergio Zabalza About an obsolete diagnosis In 1995, 45 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product was in the so-called G7 countries, i.e. the most industrialized economies. At that time, the countries that today make up the …
