LESSONS WE HAVE TO LEARN FROM THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

How to do politics "without doing anything" or wishing for evil.

I read a story that indicates that the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States Joe Biden, takes off in 10 points from the president of the former North American Empire, Donald Trump, in the presidential polls towards the White House. The question that must be asked is, how did he do it? If he has been quarantined, and his party, the Democrat, has not really made a strong opposition to Donald Trump's public policies, we can even say that he has remained ally in almost all of its public policies: foreign policy (taking care of the geopolitical interests of the "Empire", supporting the confrontation with China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela of Maduro), migration policy (keeping silent about its racial and xenophobic migration policy, mainly towards Latin emigration and the construction of the wall to separate from the Latin American ghettos), economic (betting on the economic reopening), in the covid health crisis19 (maintaining silence of the cost in human lives at the expense of prioritizing the economy), we can even say, that on the subject of racial protests I can not breathe !, Democrats have remained in a pernicious silence, or in lukewarm reproaches, perhaps because compar have with the republicans the feeling of white supremacy. And without doing anything, as I said, it takes Trump 10 points off. What's going on?:

First lesson:

The effects of the covid pandemic19 have broken the classic molds of opposition, since the one who governs bears the reproaches of the population for the havoc it has caused both in human lives, suffering, and deterioration of the family economy, and This has been enough to be used passively and actively (as is the case in Mexico), by the usual political class (according to the documentary filmmaker Moore), in each of the countries of the world, I dare say that no government is It has saved those reproaches and decreased electoral preference, for a simple reason, because the government was elected to take care of the well-being of the inhabitants of the countries of the world, and the people want results, period.

Second lesson:

Despite the fact that no country in the world was prepared for the covid19, and that neoliberal public policies were gradually degrading the public health services of most countries, or privatizing them as was the case in the United States, or, and there is needless to say, in Europe trying to reconcile its frankly capitalist present with its spiritual (social ideological) bowels, where despite betting on public health protection, it was also insufficient to avoid the costs in human lives of the coronavirus, the opposition of many countries of the world They reproach that the governments of those countries of the world could not have done more, presenting themselves without any viable or alternative proposal, as if they had been at the head of those governments, they would have done better; But that is not true, because simply, like all current governments, they would have to face the total ignorance of facing something terribly new and lethally powerful, such as the Covid pandemic19; without a history and preventive medical preparation, without a population capable of responding to the new hygienic and close behaviors that have been required to lessen the effects of the covid pandemic19, without a short-term vaccine, and with the effects of an economic crisis that it was accompanied by the human demobilization caused by the coronavirus pandemic, and without a social awareness that we are facing a new account of the human condition.

Third lesson:

The covid19 lets us see the most perverse bowels of the human being, that his predatory tendency does not stop, and that the community act submits to the selfish and individual appetites of man as always, that is why it is feasible to realize that the fight for Public power remains intact, and that the instruments of domination and slavery remain in force, making it seem that nothing is happening, that we can face a visceral fight for public political power without ethics or social conscience as always, that tomorrow we will wake up from this nightmare that the world lives, and that each one occupies the place that has occupied in this narrative that has failed without us realizing it, that we call human civilization, and therefore, that we live the best of all possible worlds.

Fourth lesson:

The elements that the governments of the world have to report good results in the face of the confrontation with covid19, are multifactorial, since they have to do with material and economic factors (accumulation of wealth), and in that line few are the countries that the pandemic has they seized with sufficient economic and material resources, for the simple reason that we built an unequal world without social justice, so in this neoliberal system a few countries are privileged, the vast majority of countries in the world have had to bet on benevolence from other factors, or luck; which has to do with environmental factors (environmental deterioration and dirt), as population factors (promiscuous population concentration); that has to do with education and historical memory, this thinking about the ability of a population to be disciplined and respond to the advice that the World Health Organization has been doing, effective quarantine period, hygiene and healthy distance between others, as well as conserving and being able to remember and not repeat the suffering of the collective or personal past; Genetic and medical, some studies have said that the severity of infections caused by covid19 depend on the predisposition to blood, alopecic, immunological factors, etc., in short, that the manual is not yet written to deal effectively with covid19.

Fifth lesson:

Why in America has covid19 been primed with more suffering, mainly in the United States and Latin America, because, although it seemed incredible, in the United States it allowed showing, despite its apparent well-being, that it always insisted on showing that it was the place of daydream and not of the banality that in the end turned out to be, or that we knew, but the drug that the neoliberal system provided us did not allow us to discern between appearance and reality, it is a dogmatic, racial, ignorant society despite its prestigious universities, unequal , with a political class stagnant in its eternal bipartisan alternatives, without the possibility of another vision of life and society, with a totally private healthcare system, with a government that still faces the covid pandemic19 with public policies limited by economic power private, which requires you to prioritize the economy at the cost of the human lives of Americans, that we can even say that the health crisis of the co vid19 benefited large fortunes, such as “the fortune of Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon, increased in the course of the Covid-19 crisis by 25,000 million dollars, that is, more or less as the GDP of Honduras. His fortune now rises to $ 150 billion, the equivalent of Hungary's GDP; and it is estimated that it could quickly reach a trillion dollars. It is increasingly difficult to find meaning and meaning in these enormous fortunes ”, and that this is nonsense, as we see in the contrast, the country with the most deaths and infected with the richest, richest by the same health crisis, in short, that the country of perfection is pouring water everywhere.

And our beloved and beloved Latin America, with its contradictions, its prejudices, its ignorance, its spirit tamed by centuries of domination and slavery, with its sweet and rich prose but useless and far from reality, perhaps it was to escape from the real that it constrains him within his beings, with a poor political class and bought by economic interests, with his few voices of freedom and coherence that are silenced with the unscrupulous and thieves, with their bustling peoples who wander about with poverty and mediocrity, not even if they want their holy patrons matter and do the miracle, now they are only the pretext for vice and sexual courtship; our Latin America, a self-sacrificing mother who does not know happiness, since she has always suffered from shortages, poverty, marginalization and battering, even nature is fattened with it, and now that virus that does not distinguish between nobility and greed, between master and slave, between rich and poor, because if he did, surely he would not be making her suffer so much, self-sacrificing mother who knows that covid19 was introduced by the few rich people who could travel, as it was when she suffered the ravages of smallpox and other infections brought by the colonizers; and now he faces a deadly virus without money, and with thirsty and hungry peoples, who cannot afford to be quarantined and maintained, and who have to go looking for their daily bread, as they did a long time ago. Besides, we add his ignorance, which makes him reckless, "if we were born to die", "with a good brandy that virus is killed", why put more veils, more covers mouths, if all life has been silent, hidden , furtive, lurking, despite their material wealth that only produces them and sees how they leave for the master countries, with their rulers without strong states, lacerated by corruption and deceit, it seems that the covid crisis19 came to stay, no I know if evading that reality provokes that thoughtless and suicidal behavior, the quarantine was never quarantined, the warrants were never listened to, even when death knocks on the door, they deny that such a virus exists, a denial that is becoming deadly and terrible.

Sixth and last lesson:

Although I care about the world, the closest world is the one that really matters to me, to do good you have to be well, Christian piety and charity do not work right now. Although I know why we are so far from being well, that there is an exhaustion of that perverse narrative that I have repeatedly spoken to you about, I think that as our “crazy” and dear Nietzsche points out, we will continue to believe, living in this nothing, in this emptiness, in these gods and these useless myths, as long as we have this grammar, language is destiny, and destiny is already written. The covid19 comes to be the stone in the shoe of these post modern, or late modern times, fragmented into an unattainable unit, because it has never existed, nor will it exist.
