The lesson to be learned from politics is that being optimistic is not enough to win, you also have to deserve it. Finding ways to stay connected with others, fueling their desires, sparking new thoughts, ensuring consistency with commitments made. As Stefano Benni says: You have to resemble what you say.
In trying the “remuntada”. leftoverall, it must not only be convincing but above all”comfortableVoters must have the perception that their vote really matters, decider and that his choice would make him feel better. And they should feel in their hearts the privilege of being in good company, of being part of a promising cause, and of having a vision of a more rewarding and interesting future. Regardless of the qualities of each candidate, a shake-up or, as Elias Canetti calls it, a shake-up is needed. “download”, which influences the members of the mass in the same way, simultaneously putting aside their differences with a feeling of equality.
After three years in opposition, will the left-wing groups be able to provoke an explosion? Is it worth choosing? Listening to the muffled groans and whispers, something was moving, but still that’s not enough. The impression is that it is not themes or programs that divide and separate left-wing parties, but rather continuous action. I differentiatelinguistic indecision, which exacerbates manfrin and innuendos that liven up debates on a wide field that, strangely, do not arouse any special interest among his voters. And this is despite the fact that there is a great need for leftists in a world like this not equalfor salary and assets.
The poorest half of the world’s population has only negligible wealth, while the richest 10% have almost 80% wealth. What more does the left need compact faced with an “unnatural” spread of wealth, the emergence of a deeply unjust financial system based on profit and capital accumulation that leaves little room for prosperity, and continues to prosper at the expense of diminishing democratic space? The left realizes that they no longer represent the last group, not even the penultimate group, those lost and humiliated by history, those who have no social qualities, devalued and forcibly placed in a marginalized position whose comfort in choosing is almost zero.
Being comfortable doesn’t mean you want to “only” tax money super profitbut to make concrete proposals for revision to stem the excessive forces of rent-hungry neoliberalism and the sworn enemy of more equal income distribution. And while it is true that energy costs are the highest in the world, those who pay the bills know this well, but voters want to ensure that stringent public measures will be taken to avoid such increases. cannot be justifiedat the expense of interfering with energy lobbies intent on exploiting every possibility to gain large and arbitrary profits.
What is certain is that the left group in government will make the people suffer the consequences seaside a fair price for concessions obtained and maintained almost free of charge? Will he be able to protect the free beaches and uses of the sea that are almost inaccessible even to the eye? And many more of course. For elections to bounce back, you need to be seen as a force that solves problems and does not perpetuate them, nor tolerate or hide them. And it is not a question of having more centers or more radicality in the coalition, because it seems pointless to fuss about who should lead the troops in attacking the right-wing groups, if the first armed forces are not recruited and new banners raised in the abandoned territories for some time.
Rather than building large squares, we need to bring together more people to build larger, more unified social blocks. But to do this we have to stop and understand taking the political stance that requires it sacrificepassion and intransigenceas well as tactical knowledge.
