During an informal talk, colleagues from the union discussed the real danger of the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the world..
One of them said that the philosopher Bertrand Russell stated that “the fascists first they fascinate the fools. “Then they muzzle the smart ones.”.
A colleague added that the representative democracy [bourgeois] also seduces fools. But what, very insightful, buy from the smart ones.
To which another colleague stated that in the direct democracy, that we exercise, We aspire to turn supposed fools into conscious intelligent people who are masters of their own designs., despite the fact that demagogues and intelligent “bought” people constantly sneak in with the aim of preventing it.. Bad apples trying to spoil the rest of us. But they won't be able to.
Lots of Health, Grassroots Federalism and Direct Democracy!
