This doctrine is the only thought, the only one authorized by an invisible and omnipresent policeman of opinion. The arrogance and insolence of this "nine gospel" spread with such intensity that it is becoming a kind of modern dogmatism. </p> <p>This ideology has practically ceased to need justification. It has become the common sense of a nascent global consensus. The neoliberal system has acquired a kind of sacred aura, ending up reigning in the consciences of most people and is invoked to justify anything, from lowering the taxes of great fortunes and setting aside environmental standards, until dismantling the public education and social benefit programs. It manifests itself "without complexes" in religious fundamentalism. </p> <p>It naturalizes its power and naturalizes the oppression caused by the social evil suffered by those who endure this power, turning it into a "problem of theirs". It thus becomes habitual to speak of "poor countries" where there are "impoverished countries" by the powerful; Attributing poverty and misery to the laziness and inability of the populations when not to underdevelopment or to their cultural inferiority. It considers natural a relatively high rate of unemployed in rich countries and immense in impoverished countries, turning into "myth" the full employment that is already brazen and becomes something "utopian", in the false sense of "not possible". </p> <p>This anonymous discourse is taken up and reproduced by the main economic information bodies, and particularly by the "Bibles" of investors and stock market shareholder The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, etc., often owned by large groups industrial or financial. A little later, the Faculties of Economic Sciences, journalists, essayists, personalities of politics ... take up the main slogans of these new tables of the law and, through their reflection in the mass media, the repeat until satiety. Knowing with certainty that, in our media societies, repetition is equivalent to demonstration. The constant repetition in all the media by almost all politicians, both from the social democratic right and left, confers such a burden of intimidation that it stifles any attempt at free reflection, and makes resistance against this new obscurantism extremely difficult. </p> <p>In the end, as converts to the new faith, they do not offer or can offer an empirical defense of the world they are building. On the contrary, they offer, or rather demand, a religious faith in the infallibility of the unregulated market. </p> <p>From the centers of political and economic power spreads the idea that there is no more than a reality, a single viable way to organize economic, social and political life; the idea of<br> <br> the absence of rational and viable alternatives is imposed. This dogmatism paralyzes the understanding, and the absence of alternatives paralyzes the action. In the collective consciousness the thesis of futility and impotence of individual or collective human endeavor is installed, because nothing can be changed. </p> <p>That is why the struggle of groups of disadvantaged people is being for inclusion in this system, no longer to change the <em>status quo</em>.</p> <p>he efficiency of this system rests fundamentally on the process of collective internalization that assumes broadly the logic of the system, which is acquired "freely" to what is induced to believe. We end up acting in agreement without generating any need to agree. Our "communion" with the dominant ideas renders the conspiracy useless. </p> <blockquote>Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that the multitude of people around the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their governments and gone to war, where millions have died because of that obedience ... Our problem is that throughout the world people are obedient to poverty and hunger, to stupidity, war and cruelty. Our problem is that the people are obedient while the prisons are full of petty thieves and the big thieves rule the country. This is our problem. <strong>-Howard Zinn.</strong></blockquote> </html>
