That we do not resemble the Man

(ES)

Can you beat the feeling of helplessness and isolation by combating the power that oppresses us? Or is this just a way to bring more pain to our existence?

If we can only expect distress or frustration from the power, why to yearn for a change of it?
In other words, the power, whoever that holds it, is a relationship of domination-submission increasingly abstruse for the benefit of a plutocracy. Are we expecting perhaps a benevolent power, incorruptible, under democratic control and under the sovereignty of the people?

It seems then that facing the dystopia of capitalism and corporate governance we find the utopia of the revolution which subverts the established power. An endless power struggle in which the oppressed become dominant and the dominant become oppressed. The necessary and eternal struggle for freedom.

"And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices."
Animal Farm - George Orwell (1903 - 1950)

Under the insignia of freedom and democracy, there are only power relationships, while the chains of capitalism that surround the oppressed are becoming more and more subtle as well as intricate.

So before breaking the external chains, it is necessary for the individual revolution of human being to succeed , that which breaks the internal chains to free him from the distress, frustration, helplessness and loneliness, allowing him to expand through the culture, mutual understanding, empathy, solidarity, love and communion with nature.

When this happens, when no internal barriers, imposed by the system or self-imposed by the individual, there will be no external chains with the ability to subdue any human being. Then and only then we will talk about true freedom.
