inspired by the words underneath the title of my blog to deal with the difficult concept of freedom. The following place an example that I posted on the forum Civic Lists 5 stars.
Freedom is a very subjective concept, everyone interprets it in his own way. You do not even know what you have to leave. I need freedom, I have to get rid ... go to the bathroom. Typically, you do not know what oppresses us. Politicians rant freedom in all the sauces and if you ask them what oppresses them fall from the clouds or are vague and meandering speeches or, at worst, they attack the constitution. The public, however, seem to have clearer ideas and tangible, not so much on freedom itself, but the factors that bind us in presorted systems, rigid standard.
The oppressor is more feared by the citizens the postman brings you the newsletters to be paid. My mailman must be a sadist, must have suffered over time, a kind of professional deformation. He slips the bills in the middle of the post with a wealth manic. I never find a bulletin on the envelope. It is always hidden in the center and check as a gracious gift. If there's only two letters, are always behind the bill, carefully hidden. Conversely, if there's money from social security institutions, recognized the envelope sticking out of the box and waving to the wind seems to say: I'm here, I arrived.
Mrs. communicate glad that finally is connected to the gas. Rather than make a joke about the "brown gas", the I note that this is an intravenous drip attached to them suck the blood during life and after death if the nominee, as often happens, continues to be a deceased person.
Primitive men had a big problem: Find a cave or a pile of decent living. Today, after 10 thousand years of progress, the problem remained the same, has changed only in ways. Today is looking for a house furnished with all comfort and no mortgage. Those who can not afford a thirty-year mortgage has only one choice: "occupy". Occupy means finding an empty house, public or private, broken into the door like a thief and sneak into it. Then, place them behind the door waiting for the arrival of true owner per affrontarlo a parolacce o con una mazza di legno (succedeva lo stesso nel paleolitico). Magari, scopri che la casa è di una signora anziana costretta momentaneamente in ospedale.
Un mio vecchio amico mi chiese se volevo “occupare” un appartamento nel suo stabile dell'ente case popolari. Mi spiegò che fu proprio l'ente a supplicare gli inquilini per trovare qualcuno che “occupasse” la casa di quell'assegnatario moroso e sempre assente. Ogni qual volta c'erano i controlli, costui si faceva trovare puntualmente. I coinquilini sospettano che ci sia qualcuno al comune che lo avvisa in anticipo. Dunque, avrei dovuto sfondare il portone e intrufolarmi dentro ottenendo due risultati: la mia agognata sistemazione e risolto il problema all'Ente preposto. D'altronde, i cittadini devono dimostrare senso civico e collaborare con le istituzioni.
Un altro dramma che ci opprime è la circolazione. Le strade sono concepite per le auto e i marciapiedi servono solo a delimitare la carreggiata. Senza automobile sei un diversamente abile. Se non hai la patente non sei nessuno. Ormai la gente si riconosce dal modello di macchina che ha. Nei quartieri o nelle piccole città, se chiedi informazioni su qualcuno chiamandolo per nome non ti sanno rispondere. A un certo punto ti domandano: che macchina ha? Una Golf grigio topo targata Novara. Si, lo conosco benissimo, ecc.
Per spostarsi bisogna pagare. Le tariffe sono calcolate a chilometri e il costo, o pizzo, per circolare è is similar if you use the highway, and if you take the train. The roads that flank the highways under concession to private-presents-are uncomfortable, dangerous and cross all countries. If the road is decent, not to compete with private road, traffic signals are eliminated that indicate its existence. It happened to me: take the only exit to my destination after 15 km, SS 4 lanes, 4 exit to my destination. The biggest problem was finding a time out.
Take the salaries. We were sent to school for years and the only thing we can do is to read the numbers and sign contracts. To understand the voices of the payroll is a team of experts. Fees start at thousands of rivulets and then visiting the Treasury in a single pot perhaps to simplify the task of super government accountants.
The paycheck is full of different voices but with the same basic meaning: hold. These are considered: "I think to take this money" .. think? I think. Then the deduction ... deduce that you deserve this money? I gather. Therefore, deductions, and the "tax" they pay taxes because they are absolutely, are binding. Then there are the famous one-off ... Every time I take a share ... But sometimes, not always, it is quiet. And what of the infamous adjustments? Basically, if you took the thirteenth in December, in January, with the balance, take half salary. The voices seem endless as the additional local or regional ... cumulated you load a further expropriation? Ever that we bring the sottrazionale. Then we have the rates with all those fancy acronyms, etc.. Once I made ten days of injury. When I received compensation of 250 € Inail, I read a footnote: the municipality of residence 1 €. My town has eaten a € because of my knee injury? It means that there's money to the municipality and do not know by whom?
The world changes, people get older, the landscapes change, but when I enter in my area I always see the same faces. It looks like a magical way, crystallized, a wax museum. Treat you like a guest and if you ask for something to be tolerated they make you turn as in Kafka's Castle. If you complain to your fellow citizens seeking comfort and approval, the people of a certain age tells you that they they're not there for you.
And what about the energy problem? In the cold northern European, the tanning beds are in the garden and all the shops of various types and sizes. You pull back the ... Here we have not the shadow. It is not clear why the chimney wind turbine on the roof I can not power a generator to light the bulb in the basement. I do not claim that the machine functions so that once rid of everything from electric drip, but at least the possibility of being "independent", that is free for the little things. Nothing. The municipality, however, piazza i lampioni fotovoltaici in periferia che vengono puntualmente derubati del pannello solare. Il cittadino si chiederà: perché il comune si ed io no?!
A proposito di pali elettrici: l'Enel, per risparmiare, ha il vizio di piantare pali e tralicci sulle linee di confine, fra un terreno demaniale e uno privato o tra l'inizio delle carreggiata e un muro di cinta. Viaggia con le sue linee come Fernandel nel film “La legge è legge” quando il protagonista, non riconosciuto né come francese, né come italiano, corse via sulla linea di confine fra i due stati. Così, il colosso energetico risparmia e dissemina di pericoli mortali le strade.
Potrei ora dilungarmi sulla sanità, la religione, il lavoro, i materiali ecologici, lobby varie, ecc. ma nel forum ci sono già dibattiti interessanti. Quello che vorrei far notare è che la libertà non è un concetto metafisico, ma è un fattore concreto da applicare nel quotidiano.
Ogni individuo ha degli obblighi da compiere se vuole sopravvivere; necessità fisiologiche, sociali e intellettuali. Se tali obblighi vengono appaltati da terze persone, spacciati come “servizi”, ecco che il vivere -inteso come soluzione dei bisogni esistenziali- diventa oppressivo.
I nostri bisogni sono presi in appalto e fatto oggetto di speculazione. Basta vedere l'esempio dell'acqua potabile divenuta merce: si prende un bisogno, un obbligo imprescindibile, come il dissetarsi by imposing economic and commodify against which the citizen or user, can not escape.
Every citizen must point to a growing range starting from the most basic needs such as housing, employment, health, energy, politics, etc.. to the more personal information such as, leisure, education, etc.. In an ecological and disconnected from those who perform "services" burdensome and unnecessary. With this assumption
invitation to the identikit of the city "free" and, thanks to its self-sufficiency, is able to perform its duties independently, without excessive costs for themselves and the community in an environmentally sustainable.
