Now the real prospects for authentic democracy
depend on something else. They depend on how the
people in the rich and priveliged societies learn
some other lessons. For example the lessons that
are being taught right now like the Mayans in
Chiapas, Mexico. They are among the most
impoverished and oppressed sectors in the
continent. But unlike us they retain a vibrant
tradition of liberty and democracy. A tradition
that we've allowed to slip out of our hands or has
been stolen from us. And unless people here in the
rich and privileged society, unless they can
recapture and revitalize that tradition, the
prospects for democracy are indeed dim.
Does it seem strange to you? The confetti. The
balloons. The mile-wide grins and the victory
dance to welcome in the heir to a state of (utter
and complete) disrepair? Because it sure seems
strange to me: they're acting like they won the
fucking lottery! I mean, shouldn't they feel
terror at the task that lies ahead: to feed and
house the people that this system's left for dead.
And could I have hit the nail much harder on the
head? It's profits before lives. They are
motivated by greed. First they taught us to depend
on their nation-states to mend our tired minds,
our broken bones, our bleeding limbs.
But now they've sold off all the splints and
contracted out the tourniquets and if we jump
through hoops then we might just survive. Is this
what we deserve? To scrub the palace floors? To
fight amongst ourselves? As we scramble for the
crumbs they spit out, frothing at the mouth about
the scapegoats that they've chosen for us. With
every racist pointed finger I can hear the
goose-steps getting closer. They no longer
represent us so is it not our obligation to
confront this tyranny?
