The world we want to transform


The world we want to transform 


The most telling sign of contemporary society is war. The war in its various forms and in all dimensions of relational universe: economic warfare, cultural warfare, intelligence and ideas and military warfare. Politics, capitalism is legitimate and legitimizing instrument of war. The competition, which is another way of calling the war, is its foundational essence. But while the war has been the essential inherent characteristic, which makes the contrast on the antagonistic social relations are based on capitalism, modes of organization of the work process and human reproduction vary in each historical period fundamentally according to development of tension, conflict or class struggle and the progress of the process of objectification driven by the capitalist class. The last three decades of the twentieth century were characterized largely by the reorganization of the conditions that guarantee capital appreciation. 

Today, in the early twenty-first century, the challenge is to ensure the conditions that make possible capitalism yet. That is, if during the neoliberal phase computer axis of capitalist relations and the global articulation of reproduction was the market-in the broadest sense of the term, today, in what appears to love each shape as fascism, the main challenge indiscipline is a society that does not accept the rules imposed by the economic war and the market economy. If new authoritarian and reductionist features can be understood as part of neoliberalism is a discussion that is given; What is clear for now is the offset from the axis of the computer market-or economic-to the military. The neoliberal impulse, focusing on economic readjustment, is source elements strengthening unions, the ability to control the work process developed by the Fordist collective worker, the lag between increasing productive capacity and the corresponding impoverishment and marginalization of market of large sectors of the world population and a crisis in the farming sector which had hitherto functioned as clearing space overexploitation of the workforce calls peripheries.

The search for new technologies was intended to reorganize work. No work process work itself but only as a category of social discipline and labor in general, not only in terms of its practical operation but his abstract capacity, its breakdown and extension to a set of intellectual activities are passed from the conception of work as to the operation of work as design and planning, while being walked to the assembly task groups, work at home and the proliferation of offshore industries. Among the most salient features of this process can be highlighted as follows: 1. Technological advances along these years exceeded the phase of objectifying knowledge and physical movements that characterized the Fordist stage and transited to the objectification of mental and organic knowledge, gradually mechanizing logical reasoning and entering knowledge, control and modification of the structures of thought and structures of life: cultural codes and genetic codes. The appropriation of knowledge does not stop at the accumulation of knowledge but attempts to break into the mechanisms of generation of such knowledge
