Sovereignty Semantics - What do we think of when we think?
by Fernando Buen Abad Domínguez
source Rebelión/University of Philosophy
translation Cuba-Network in Defense of Humanity
It is about assuming a direction and revolutionary production of ideas and of preventing its separation from practice. It is about exercising responsibility and right to design with our own brushes – and our own
taste – concepts of the Battle of Ideas. It is about freeing the huge expressive volume; it is about freedom of intelligent and transforming expression without class bonds, without the hegemony of silence …
without ideology of the dominant class. It is about, consequently, of organizing an agenda for our struggles and not at the service of the bold predator with which “, “the oligarchies humiliates us and anesthetizes us. It is not of speaking – only – of what "we want” but of organizing ideas about what is needed. Solving the problems of humanity begins at home.
While the heads are infested with intellectual trinkets implanted by the bourgeois powers in the people, disguised as “taste”, “tradition”, “news” or current day subjects, the system of economic-political power injected with doubts, blackmails and treated with misinformation and manipulation of the reality. If there were a Semantics of Sovereignty it would express in full confidence about the struggles of the workers and not in confidence of individualism or clowning of the “good bourgeois boys”.
If we attain Semantic Sovereignty no one could give priority to “glamour” of mercantilism – nor its fetishes – we will dedicate or best time in the creativity of struggle, with the struggle and for the struggle. We speak of a world revolution in production, Semantics is capable of being a new collective, democratic and revolutionary being.
Capable of complementing Economic and Political Sovereignty against submission and intellectual colonization to root a method of semantic production that builds strength in a united battle for truth and
against capitalism, the common enemy of the human species.
That is why not counting on Semantic Sovereignty is another expression of our historical defeat. We do not need scared “neutral” thinkers in the abstract or triviality converted in an epic of the mediocre…we need bases, scientific and revolutionary of the contents from below for our thoughts to settle alongside the peoples in the search for the inalienable truth and the social construction necessary of our emancipating agendas. We need an esthetic and ethical committtment for a Semantic revolution with very succulent semiotic substances. That arises from the struggles.
Without Semantic Sovereignty they manhandle the spirit and prostitute it. We are submitted to a paucity of thought and action where they make us irreconcilable and alien to our own identities.
The enemy inoculates their ideas, their erudition, their knowledge and their values to make us believe that they are superior, better and absolute to destroy our imposed agenda of battle. We do not expect charity and much less talk and act exactly as they please, what is convenient for them and what is profitable for them. Aside from agreements and disagreements that can have one or another revolutionary semantics nothing prevents us from recognizing the urgency of a semantic emancipation in the heat of battle and that is
the key.
In the industry of “brain washing” the fanatic consumers are chained to the laws of a bourgeois market. That is why it is important to know the caliber of the aberrations of bourgeois moral that regulates the quality of thought by the amount paid. They wash our brains not for “free thought” but to prevent us from thinking freely. Submitted to the semantics and later submitted to economy and politics, we walk along the abysm of the worse crisis of poverty of thought and intellectual plunder we could ever imagine … they want to shut down the brain of the peoples, to have it well washed and be willing to buy and buy everything they have in their warehouses in the crisis of overproduction that will asphyxiate us for all eternity if we are
quiet.
There are enough tasks to boost the semantic revolution: we must build factories, unions, schools, debates and tendencies of diverse revolutionary praxis. There are ideas and actions in the planet that we can use to not live as plaintives of the situation every time we are “quiet” in face of the events and the manner in which the oligarchy interprets us and imposes upon us. Regardless of the effectiveness of our analysis and demands it is now time to move towards a Semantic Sovereignty as part of our programs because it is urgent to integrate all our best strengths in a Semantic Revolution of unity and creative battles of ideas and creative ideas of struggle. It is urgent and possible in hours invested and invested more without leaving our own agenda. Let us not repeat the discourse of the “boss”.
