The Political Technique of Death
By Milton Lima
We need
bonds to understand ourselves as humans; our history has long been a history of
discovery. Philippe Ariès, between the First and Second World Wars, talked about
death in the West. But before that, we should pay attention to what is proper to
the modern world that means saying that democracy and capitalism are at the
same time on the side of war and peace. Joseph Schumpeter would also stay with
socialism and economic history as if it were possible to lose it, while very
deep deaths end as we should know it such a world that would be born. So it is
the technique that abstracts briefly from death to start propagating whole
types that rule totalitarianism and people close to the masses. Nazi Germany
and Fascist Italy, next to them a history that marries democracy, capitalism,
socialism and religion, of course, together there is all this, there is a
political technique of death. The machine was there, guess who was there too,
all the heads of the banks.
When we
are faced with the lost word, our entire observation as well says or said near
the great sage Baudelaire is our attempt, to go in search of the paradise that
will be lost. At the same time, this new world that is divided between kings
for their kingdoms and for their allies will even see its honour lost, that
is, not possessing death as a word and meaning. Meanwhile, he makes poetry, our
poet walks through a world that would be old and would do him good to be, or
wiser, but should never be new. This world would now be thought bylines, so
there is a division between rich and poor, educated and uneducated, with all
this, before death, they also thought of as disciplines, so they are born as
republics. As discipline is an understated technique by their own educated people,
where would be their division of labour, it now seems educated to a legion of
adherents, so as Primo Levi speaks, the dead life the same lost life amidst
words of life and divine justice, under their unique past and present live
their memory in response to the witness itself.
Where,
when, how and why? All this becomes a hard and new word. When the word is a social relation, the whole word becomes work between nature and man. But to
understand where politics became a technique of death, we need to go back to
how it wins minds and hearts. That is not with the birth of the state. So we
must look at the Greeks from there to the fourth century. Why Plato? Well, he
has been present in our history since that became a real front in the Republic. As a philosopher-king Plato loved Socrates,
so much and because his master loved truth. You see this is conscious, and so
there is also since these times a war for the power of the word. As such words
struggle amidst truth and lies, survival as morals and ethics, directed by an
ideal world, Plato would create by his power the first republic to remember to
death the truth for which his master would fight and die.
See that
the honour of men, from Pericles to Hesiod brought the figure of man and God,
if even he is a hero at the same time then he is known again for the defence of
men and women, who honour nothing but a right to a dignified death due to
justice. The hero is a leader, like Alexander. But all over the world, you see
that the war against dignity found the speech of Pericles. In the speech for
the defence, honour is given to any citizen of the city, what is remembered by
everyone there is the role of honour.
It seems
to me that the political technique of death is not yet understood under its
cultural, social, political, economic and human aspects. One problem that Ariès
finds in his research is that money (or inheritance), first of all with the
family, will modify a social relationship so that the sick person no longer
needs to die at home. So she begins to have him die in hospital and no longer
has faith or hope that the death of her relative is being awaited at home.
Now that
we have met with medicine, there are two points to which we should pay
attention. The first is the need to follow the money. The second is the need
for inequality again here that is, social, political, economic and cultural.
Because the shadow is proper his death, but also his life, which is and has
been put in check. If you are a citizen of the land, perhaps you can be saved.
But it is not welcome if she came by sea.
Medicine
is very close to a system of power. There are in this century several stories
of experiences, under the advances are always at the top of the pyramid, of a
class, of a system, so this social relationship of ours due to the pandemic
with humanity being blamed for the death of hundreds of thousands of people,
only intensifying with this year 2019. Inequality has again asked for an
account of who can wait and who can actually leave. To talk about society and
not talk about death and the social relations it involves, is simply to forget
what a community of a country is.
We are
here and there talking about words. Who would have thought that it is death and
not life that is being debated on the question of the surviving word? So the
body too when it functions, creates things. What such a system does not tell
us is who will pay this debt, in which it does not even know what it has
created itself. When men shape a new capitalist world, they do so by fighting,
first for liberalism, then for utilitarianism. Look at the fathers of
economics, Smith and Ricardo. The last of them was a parliamentarian. We are
once again invited to investigate this world crisis. Why has crisis changed all
forms of human relationships? Because in the production of things people were
taught to lose their human relationships so that things could be bought with
money. The man-made merchandise at that time was made for things that were not
of nature. Though like technology, men continue to learn through
misunderstanding that as things have always made this money as capital, things
also make it their own capital. As the things this man will create he becomes
the same machine that does not understand this process, so by it, he was being
created to be disposable. This happens now in the 21st century, only if the
hope that you look like bitcoins, pix, to come by them to so much hope of a new
normal. What they are talking about under the future was desired as paint as
painting from the past, that is, that death by envy become a machine and it happens
here and now with the virus, war, technology, big reset and everything but a human
being.
