The diversity trap
A call for unity in the face of the fragmentation promoted by current activism or how neoliberalism fragmented the identity of the working class.How have we arrived at this paradox in which the defenders of the established order pass as politically incorrect and those who seem to confront does he end up being guide prescribers in good manners? Is there an oversize of the offense or, on the contrary, has the right been able to take advantage of the contradiction of a left capable of influencing the social consensus of conflicts but not their causes?
Activism strives to find the right words to mark diversity, creating an environment respectful of our differences, while the system throws us over the side of History. We are no longer looking for a great story that unites different people in a common objective, but rather to exaggerate our specificities to fill the anguish of a present without class identity.
We were already at the end of something
In this controversial, highly intelligent and lucid essay, Daniel Bernabé presents us with a thesis that is as accurate as it is disturbing: nothing that happened in 2021 and then should surprise us. Because the pandemic, and especially the unprecedented crisis that it has generated, has not been an accident, but a plausible failure in a mechanism that was overwhelmed. Because our society was already on the edge, we were already at the end of something, and the pandemic has not been the fuel, but the accelerator of this great explosion that we are experiencing.
Bernabé performs a relentless dissection of why our era was about to end and carefully examines this crisis that has come to change everything. However, far from remaining in the complaint and lamentations, the author encourages us to be masters of our destiny and that we read in this great crisis an opportunity for post-normality to be a better scenario than the one we left behind, and, above all , so that we do not experience a crisis of this magnitude again.
The Distance From The Present
Maybe not all the solutions are in the past, but we can discover how we got to where we are. And the fact of discovering the generational leap in the way of facing general problems ends up awakening that awareness that things could not have evolved worse.
This book is much more than a journey through time, a mere collection of facts and figures, events and characters. It is intended to be a survival manual, a Codex to understand how we got here and why we are the way we are. And for that we have to investigate our most recent past, at that moment where everything could change – and did, in fact – but powerful forces conspired so that, if something had to change, it would do so within an order. Your order.
