(180) Friday November 15
"At dusk, the old Hegel said, philosophy takes flight to try to understand what happened."
Burial longest history of mining in an exclusive manner captured global attention around the world this week. Earlier on Wednesday the capsule Phoenix II descended into the bowels of the mine collapsed in Copiapo and started one by one to rescue the 33 miners who stayed 69 days to 700 meters deep. Within 24 hours the earth parirlos finished, dismiss the world of light. How not to celebrate!
However, the moon has two faces. One that is, one that is hidden. Screens around the world showed indisputably heroic side of the miners, their solidarity incomparable. Millions and millions of eyes pointed to a hole to follow the detailed steps of the bailout. But the chance that always makes the thief, also served to mount a successful new reality show. Some wives of miners and exclusive brands with the TV, while the BBC has announced it is preparing a documentary on the megarrescate, and for this and paid in dollars to several families to follow them 24 hours a day. Donations of money to workers buried will reach half a million dollars. Most millionaire donated Leonardo Farkas, who made his fortune in mining. Look what happened. They also appeared more than 200 job offers for the 33 giant moles. Everything serves to function. Tours, trips, gifts and more varied. The most genuine emotions intersect with cynical speculations. Piñera mounted a show for the cameras. Almost did not get into the well he and his ministers. Should we be surprised this side of the moon?
To see other questions need to be made, decipher, question. This means giving the knowledge the task of uncovering, exposing, see that side that remains somewhat invisible. Let
intent: They wanted to take the gold and copper. But not for them. Businessmen working for a phony and irresponsible. The saga of men who descended into the darkness of the earth to remove minerals and then suffer an accident, are not a constituent part of this macabre game companies that expose workers? Can you call accident to such a thing? What and how much of human responsibility in this event? What should have been done and not done, or done very badly? "We needed such a disaster for the world to feel solidarity with these workers? How many more "accidents" like this one needed to legislate proactively and miners can work without risking their lives with dignity?
Chile's María Ester Feres, an official in the Directorate of Labour these days trasandina question "How is it possible that in a country with the level of economic growth we've had in recent years not better protect life at work?" . Is it coincidence that in 2009, in Chile there were over 190,000 accidents work, of which 443 were fatal? Why we are not informed of the victims who are charged a daily activity and unprotected as hard as mining? "Solidarity, the government commitment to assist in the rescue assist him hiding his responsibility does not end on the structural causes? Who
surprised by the ability of organization and solidarity of these workers? Is not that how we always have endured and survived the Chilean workers and everyone standing in front of the looting and plundering of the owners of capital? This world without mercy, is a world is accidental or the DNA of capitalism, its unmistakable fingerprint, that grin identifies perverse by nature? "The capital is coming to America and the world dripping with mud and blood," said Marx. Workers is also buried in the mines.
Some say it was a miracle in San Jose. Was it God who saved them? In any case, it is the god of Chile and Argentina Church. That God, who is everywhere and says Yupanqui, there and here, sit at the table of the pattern.
Should not come to light many obscurities from this collapse? No one is outraged that the Chilean government last week closed 1500 private mining projects due to lack of security? "Just now? Was it necessary for such Piñera disaster to dismiss the director of the mining regulator, which allowed the reopening of the mine collapsed, despite the precarious security?
the deepest well you can leave seems to be the moral of this fable happy. And it is well to conclude this. Men cling to the hopes and dreams like orphans. But be eager to take off the dust from his eyes again and again and say "we can go out" and not finish answering why never fell.
When the well's threw the world of light, many also hold, we began to wonder how much we have learned from such experience, they, the miners, and us. "Do not treat me as an artist, I am a miner," said one of them. Good sign. In the late hours also knew that the 33 decided to establish a foundation to help the miners with fewer resources. Take off to try to understand what happened and see the twilight on both sides of the moon.
