October 1999 caudillismo by turning inedible, frightening militarism on all four sides, the popular tide of these years, I saw it again with "The fish in water" by Mario Vargas Llosa. Branded
reactionary by the coal of a Latin America that has decades doing everything within their power to sink hard in the morass of backwardness, the Peruvian writer gives to the profile right now, from the womb revolutionary invent believe those who govern . Based on the original meaning
of foundational obsession with aspiration of every man kept in caves lit their brains, the revolutionary new hair, those who populate the Venezuelan environment of recent times, suppose they are coming for the first time the font that will cleanse the crowd of original sin to be poor. Poverty, of course, "which has everything of consequence-imperialist as their catechism will leave with their tails between their legs just as enchanting, one of those righteous sword, avenging his strength scatter and spill their cry saves homeland.
Then there will be very careful, the oligarchy, such as crouch scary dog \u200b\u200bears and tremble before the warning many times delayed in a new way on the world and how to be the world. Come, who would doubt the promised time, the final phase, paradise now unavoidable.
What the government thinks it invented today in an effort to drop and clean table is not really the tragic fate, sick of anachronism, which left more behind the political spectrum claimed as light at the end of the tunnel is ie, more statism, more centralization, more unsustainable spending, more waste, wastefulness and underdevelopment, all of which is tuned by the reductionist view that the State is very good as opposed to liberal elephantine because, after all, we are wrong because of others (the capital of empires, the traitors, the aliens) reversible case only under the action of a revolutionary government, the embodiment of justice, truth and history. Of course. In this fallacious reasoning Vargas Llosa plant that does not open market without the benefits of globalization, without education and achieve a minimum of functioning institutions, no country goes ahead.
Thus, "The fish in water" is a compendium of ideas, spiced with memories of childhood and adolescence, they weave a portrait of an invariably (the demagogues) when designing the links between State and people, or that is, between it and the individual, by a quarry flag adorned the label of revolutionary, which is perched out to step on a liberalism that has ever existed from the Rio Grande to Patagonia.
In times like in Venezuela, "The fish in the water" has resulted in my case the reunion (which I first read some years ago, when the bug of politics, at least in theory, I had not infected at all) with the vision of an individual other than a novelist, describes as the failure of political actor in Latin America such a chore. The campaign that Vargas Llosa was conducted with the intention of becoming Peru's president, allowed him to explore the monster inside her. Politics in that nation, or Mexico, or Guatemala or Venezuela, have similar edges, blunting common features, which are just the tip of the thread made by the writer to discuss the ups and downs of our continent, and also to lay down their ideas for their proposals, their notion of why we are as we are and what might be in terms of growth, modernity, development.
A country today, you can either grow or remain in ruins. Such is the focal point in the reasoning that reverberates broken off at the length and breadth of the five hundred thirty-eight pages the book.
worth reading.
