Posted on 6 Ιουλ, 2011 in Πολιτική | 0 commentsΜικρή γεύση του σπουδαίου βιβλίου-Μανιφέστου του Γάλλου Στεφάν Εσέλ, “Αγανακτήστε” (“Indignez-vous”) προσφέρουμε στους Αγγλομαθείς (Που διαμαρτύρονται για τα πολλά … γαλλικά μας. Τί να κάνουμε; Αυτή τη γλώσσα ξέρουμε, αυτήν εκτιμούμε. Αυτή μας δίνει τα… φώτα πάλι!)
ΑΓΑΝΑΚΤΗΣΤΕ, λοιπόν, έστω και… αγγλικά! (Στ.Γ.Κ.)
QUOTES FROM STEPHANE HESSEL’S “INDIGNEZ-VOUS!”:
“I think, naturally, that terrorism is unacceptable; but it is necessary to acknowledge that when people are occupied by forces immensely superior to their own, popular reaction cannot be altogether bloodless.”
“However, to proclaim ‘violence is not effective’ is more important than to know whether one must condemn or not those who devote themselves to it.”
“…not this society of immigrants without papers — expulsions, suspicion regarding the immigrants. Not this society where they call into question social security and national health and pension plans. Not this society where mass media are in the hands of the rich.”
“…the problem is the power of money, so much opposed by the Resistance, and of the big, boldfaced, selfish man, with his own servants in the highest spheres of the State.”
“… it was necessary to keep an ear open towards communism to compensate against American capitalism….”
“There is certainly another comprehension of history. It says progress is made by “freedom,” competition, striving for “always more”; it can be as if living in a destructive hurricane.”
“To the young people, I say: Look around you, you will find issues that justify your indignation — facts about treatment of immigrants, of “illegal” immigrants, of the Roma….”
“That Jews can, themselves, perpetrate war crimes is unbearable. Alas, history does not give enough examples of people who draw lessons from their own history.”
“Also, let us always be called in a truly peaceful insurrection against means of mass communication that offer as a vista for our youth only the consumption of mass trivia, contempt of the weakest and the culture, a generalized amnesia, and the hard competition of all against all.”
…St.G.K.
