We play the delays | Dawn

After the results of the recent European elections, the obvious conclusion (which was simply confirmed by the results) is that the Far Right is on the rise. Since – if we want to be honest and not hide behind our finger – the term “Far Right” is one of the many euphemisms used (and not always innocently) to hide the black face of fascism, the task that arises for all the political forces of the democratic arc, for every citizen who looks forward to democratic solutions to the problems of life the first task is one and extremely urgent: To stop and reverse this advance before things become dramatic.

Already in France, where Le Pen is sweeping, it seems that something is beginning to move in this direction, even if we hope that the steps that need to be taken will be taken quickly, will be taken decisively, boldly and broadly in the synthesis of opinions. Let us hope that finally (and of course this does not only apply to France) it will begin to be realized that the other point of view (and we are certainly not talking about the class-opposite point of view), since it moves in the same direction, is an alternative hypothesis of truth. Let’s finally realize that what should have been realized first by the so-called democratic forces (by the nature of their ideology, damn it!), namely the unity of heterogeneity, has been incorporated by the Right and with particular intensity by the neoliberal Right. To be precise, they have not only incorporated it, but have made it a cornerstone of their political strategy, with direct application to every tactical objective and with highly successful (for their interests, practically and ideologically) results.

In other words, the class forces of the ruling class appear much more class-conscious than those forces that either preach in the name of class struggle or simply place themselves in the field of equality, equality, equality, equal opportunities, political and human rights. In other words, a space so bright, which should illuminate all sides of all opinions so that the forces aligned with these opinions march towards a common goal, became a space of abysmal confrontation, which in the historical path of the progressive forces resulted in incredible atrocities. Oh no, but also ridiculous.

The Right (as a general political term) has never forgotten either the class struggle or the class opponent. Press magnate Rupert Murdoch put it with extraordinary clarity: “Of course there is a class struggle, and for now my class is winning.” What exactly is not understood here? Or is the advance of the Far Right not a victory for this wildly exploitative, inhumane and blood-soaked regime worldwide, the consequences of which we all experience in one way or another, to one degree or another, asleep that tragedies always happen far away from U.S; That is why it is criminally negligent to forget that your political presence reflects needs and values ​​whose assertion does not happen “on the fly”. Jean-Paul Sartre also put it with extraordinary clarity: “In a football match everything is complicated by the presence of the opposing team.”

Let’s not forget that, like all team games, politics, as the highest of games, is, in addition to being a game of tactics, also a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins the game. And most mistakes are made by the team where everyone plays for themselves. “Whoever plays for himself plays for the opponent” said the great football player Elenios Herrera. So simple.

So simply the Right lumps itself together with the Far Right as “one body one soul”, despite any linguistic smattering of differences. And so criminally simple in the progressive forces “hate of the same” blooms at the time when their opponent has thrown the nets into the air.

Let them watch this, because we are already playing the delays. The game is over.
