Sleeping in a shack
What Leonardo
Sakamoto remarks in his article is the importance of mobilization of the
workforce and the fight of modest people. A force that bring together who were
‘out’ the system created by the system and that had its highlight five or six
years ago in countries like Greece, Italy and Spain.
However when
Mr Tsipras pull his trousers faced with Troika, the Greek people left seriously
hurt; Mr Grilo is tired and his followers don´t realize they need new sap. As
for Spain, the Podemos politicians —I appreciate some isolated successes— now
are speaking in a casta way.
Mr Sakamoto
introduces his text us speaking about a wall built in the XVI century. That
wall separated what it will be São Paulo and the outsiders, the centro expandido and the outskirts, the castle and its serfs. The Tietê
and the Pinheiros rivers as moat.
Inside the
castle (Jardim Paulista, to give an example) are mixed revolutionary people and
reactionary people, atheists and believers (inside the castle people live till
their 80). Those that live out the castle (Jardim Ângela or so) barely survive
and they die at 56.
«Com o crescimento econômico da
última década, a pobreza foi reduzida no país, mas a desigualdade se
manteve...»
How do you
explain this? Ha! I catch it. The country has more money nevertheless that
dough belongs to the rich who don´t give a stuff who are not like them. Feudal
lords. Bruscar.
This
inequality produces violence. Much more out the castle but inside the castle
too. How do the richest defend against these wretches? They have two
strategies; on the one hand, with an obscure economic power, on the other hand,
flying (more of 400 helicopters, ready to take off) and with armour-plated
cars.
I don´t
believe it. The public power exists to serve whom have more resources. Well I
never, I didn´t know that!
«Até porque nossos “grandes líderes”
naufragam em tempos de chuva, com as enchentes que transbordam os rios da
cidade, ou desidratam em tempos de seca – com a falta de água nas torneiras
devido à ausência de planejamento urbano. Isso quando
não corrompem e são corrompidos.»
I like when
Leonardo Sakamoto says that people don´t decide where to be born but they can
choose where to live in. Who the Earth owner is?
What will be
happening in São Paulo forty years hence? I hope that social movement don´t
flat —as happened and is happening in some European countries— and the
invisible wall, with shameful interests, is tear down.
