Our age needs harshest critics. Idealization is today the largest this side. We do not propose an unexpected return to the past. What we are trying to show is that industrial society with its ideal of progress has distorted our whole vision of the past. Today we know that creating a universal level and a State Market tight once more or less planetary frameworks and today, has obscured the history of social organization and community more just and rational, and less harmful to the environment. These coexisted with forms of power or religious systems, although unacceptable, not stifled completely, or not always or everywhere as it is today, the social empowerment of the community. This look like a true progressive suspicious minds today, who tend to see the past as a dark and outdated. When in ancient times people were rebelling against the injustice and arbitrary justice of the powerful (nobility, wealthy bourgeoisie, clergy or corona) at least were aware of their livelihoods (land, firewood, grain or pasture) what was at stake. Never separated by poor social ideals that were, in their direct means of existence (which by then were still in their hands.) Neither of its direct means of self-government (the assembly or council). Today any social demand has to go through the abstract realm of the market and the state bureaucracy or union reformism. All conflict is about mediocre play demands that obey economic logic of the powerful (whether the purchasing power or civil rights). The identification of wealth with the "money" is now as something so trivial, and it is from the time of Balzac, that almost no one asks if there is a way of life that is not affordable merchandise. It works tirelessly for eleven months to see or eat a trout river, bathing in the sea or to flee the fierce noise of cities. The holiday break is the sinister mockery of power to their slaves. In the society of industrial capitalism most of the fights are focused on bargaining on conditions of life that are themselves damaged, calling for a better distribution of income, but do not question what indeed can be achieved through the income tax ("a slum in urban suburb? best highways in the more die fast? Need more sports facilities? Need more use of substitutes?) Is the wage dispute, but the very nature of wage labor requires greater social protection in the market, but not put into question the very existence antisocial Market, is seeking refuge in the state and forget that this has been what has made possible the social field is the battlefield of the economic war of capitalism. Meanwhile, the biosphere is being collapsed to a spendthrift assault growing. Capitalist exploitation would never have been possible had it not been industrialized nations and peoples. The country-city opposition may not be an election weekend: in the destruction of entire rural life and community well understood is the origin of total domination that we now suffer.
