To save humanity (Marco Emanuele)
The "immediate" power relations, not mediated, are dangerous because they lead to the domination of the instincts. In the world that we live, in fact, we note the absence of a complex politics and its "reduction" to the linear state; in this context can only bring out the negative consequences of self-referential and universal market (applied in different contexts in an a-contextual way), the absolutization-degeneration of the instruments necessary to govern the human societies (democracy), the triumph of totalitarian violence and war.
Back to being human we must return to the awareness of the complexity of what we are. Only in this way, in fact, humanity can be saved, and each of us in it.

Return (Marco Emanuele)
The political vacuum in the a-polar world, in the absence of a strategic and shared thinking, can only lead to the domination of power relations. Power relations not mediated but immediate, radically changing the world order as we know it.
We, the "West" (?), certain in our values, have to think differently and to find that the "soul of the world" lives in its complexities, informalities, transitions. We need to return to a complex politics to govern, as much as possible, the vital historical processes.
