Democracy The future is a paradigm of becoming;
the future is the summation of events and things that in part
depend on us and in part do not. An equation with only one
variable: the human one. The rest is contained in an immense
multidimensional and multifunctional program. Humanity is not,
however, an independent variable; it is a two-dimensional
variable that, immersed in the infinity of the universe,
interacts with the system in a two-directional way; so as to
modify while becoming modified itself. An unstoppable and
integrated flow of a Single Body, where actions and
interactions occur with the same formalities of a balanced
chemical equation: for every change of the reagent there is an
alteration of the products and vice versa.
This premise is useful for understanding that in the becoming
of the World System, the role of responsibility of every
single individual is destined to increase. Just as it is
logical to think that in the future the whole world will
increasingly be a system of responsible sharing.
We explain this concept better.
We can compare the Earth of the past to a system in which man
the creature, though participating completely in the physical
functions of the planet, did not considerably influence its
equilibriums. This situation probably lasted until man put
into practice, in a considerable way, the "fruits" of his
intellect.
From that moment, there began the long and unstoppable rush to
globalization.
We can define globalization as the true objective of history
(the product of the reaction) and the interaction between man
and the planet the reason for creation (or if you prefer, for
those who do not believe in this, of the "self-birth" of the
universe).
Globalization, however, is the true reason for creation, not
in the sense of its attainment, but in its most concrete
meaning of a full and unique interaction between man and the
environment; between the creature Man and the creature
Universe; between the most perfect spiritual creature
(existing in our world) and the most perfect material
creature, which is the universe itself.
The collision course which exists between the two creatures,
as it develops ever more fully, produces effects of
sublimation, making man a creature which is jointly
responsible for the Single Body.
If we do not go beyond what we can gleam from the reading of
daily events we make a bad use of historical criticism and
social analysis. Disorders, great changes (both physical and
social) cannot be read in a fraction of History, which is
itself a feeble reading without foundation or light.
We can compare things such as the sociality of a child (in
this case, the newly born humanity of this period) who is
conducted into a new world whose rules it does not know; the
child will learn by making mistakes, but erring will bring
experience. He will make history, form himself.
I do not want, however, to deal with matters that go beyond
the themes and objectives of this site.
I will stop to consider only the most concrete aspects of the
application of a new way of living that recent history has
named Sustainable Development.
Suddenly (in the historical sense) we find ourselves no longer
living as pioneers but as creatures that interact within a
Creature. The Creature is itself the Mother of principles, of
policy, of logic (we rediscover the concept of Mother Earth
which is so dear to Indian culture and a lot of oriental
cultures).
We have to move from physical expanses and horizons to
intellectual and spiritual expanses and horizons.
From the way we manage resources independently to finding
(through experience) a responsible and instrumental method..
From being simple users to being promoters of the organization
of energy. In the world of the future, that is already here
today, every living being will have to worry about the
production and the parsimonious use of energy.
From the expanses of energy resources (carbon fossils, oil,
uranium, etc.) to the precise use of every available resource
on our planet and solar energy.
Every man will have to be accountable for energy and every
State will have to supply itself with the Laws and Rules of an
Energy Democracy.
On a planet in which even water resources are destined to
increasingly acquire greater significance (even, and above
all, political) the use and the production of resources will
become the business (in the positive sense) of every
individual.
The management of Rural Resources; the management of Water
Resources; of Solar Resources; wind, etc.; the production and
the saving of every aliquot of energy will be delegated also,
and above all, to every single individual who will open, like
in a bank account, a line of energy credit.
The Productive/Fiscal system of every Country will be
reorganized on the basis of this new energy-patrimony model.
This will involve, for all the Countries of the World (both
those that have ex great energy resources and those that do
not) a new model of Social Democracy.
Conclusion
I believe that, if we are to expect a new political horizon
(not only in Italy), this will be signed by the rise of a new
and different responsibility which will have to invest not
only the single individual, but, above all, the next and
future political representatives.
The true crisis of the Left and the Right is due to facts that
go back to an old socio-cultural organisation that no longer
exists.
The variety of political languages and models that confuse the
electors so much (thereby unfortunately alienating them
dangerously from political life) is emblematic of the end of
the line of an ideology based on the old economic model
founded on centralized production and on decentralized
consumption.
Every day we have undertake, whatever the role we cover in our
Country, to ask those people who represent us to take a
political stand in the direction of this new model of Energy
Democracy. This is a democracy in which, necessarily, the
value of every man will be distinguished by his ability to be
part of this new democratic model. We cannot remake the error,
perpetrated by modern democracies, to confuse monetary values
with human values. That system is dead and unfortunately will
produce, still for some time, great social and cultural
friction in all the democracies of the Planet, both nationally
and internationally.
If we want to reform politics, and reform it with new
enthusiasm, we have only to reorganize future ideologies in
this direction.
The future is ahead of us; enthusiasm and hope will renew it.
Let's not deceive ourselves, however, that this does not have
a Cost.
