Opinion Sur
Across the world, rigged elections appear in democracies that have been captured by a power concentrated in a few hands. Many are surprised, some explore the reasons.
It is critical to observe that these pseudo-elections serve the dominators to continue accumulating. For them, the “rest” does not matter. It does not move them because they are responsible for the tremendous punishment of immense majorities, the systemic instability based on the ordering criterion of maximizing profit at the expense of whatever, nor the environmental destruction that shakes the planet with the suicide of climate change. To impose themselves, they lie, deceive, alienate freewill, destroy the meaning and significance of existence.
The decision-making power they hold as self-proclaimed helmspersons of the global course is not released despite the social and environmental hurricanes they generate. They will not graciously abandon the course they impose. It will be necessary to establish powerful social coalitions capable of dismantling the engines that reproduce the concentrating process. Otherwise, it will be more than difficult to democratize decision-making in favor of humanity and respect for the planet.
The “disappointing” electoral episodes reflect the hypocrisy of false democracies subjugated by scoundrels full of greed and selfishness. A narrow opulent minority, the peoples begging. This disaster can, must, be changed by eliminating inequalities, poverty, and indigence. With other helmspersons, not the adventurers that economic power erects as new leaderships to which desperate segments embrace. They try to convince that the path they impose is the best and it is not; that it will not be possible to improve the world when the main challenge is to address it. Moving forward with clarification and social organization, taking care of everyone, remembering that the planet shelters or destroys us.
Huge challenge? Yes, it is, although other ways of being and functioning can be carved out with the power of a given society to survive.
