Colony Park
a brief reflection ...
An experience of social fascism is to be installed before the city of Buenos Aires
off the coast of the city of Buenos Aires, the Parana River Delta, where flowing waters of the old river from the heart of South America two years ago that a group of companies is betting an exclusive neighborhood with lots of land, starting with a value greater than a quarter million dollars. The same company states in its advertising: "Colony Park is the first development of permanent housing in a true island of Delta Argentino. A concept unique property in Argentina that offers desurbanizar your life in just 5 minutes. Our Master Plan seeks main goal of improving the quality of life of its inhabitants combining city life with the security and tranquility of a private island, so we offer 900 lots. (...) We will have a system where personal security provided by Prefecture interact and private agencies with high-tech equipment for the prevention and control. Being surrounded by rivers and canals more than 30 meters wide access will be controlled by the Coast Guard Argentina, all lots will have a telephone system whereby you can quickly contact the guard. "
ventures such as this, are presented as vectors of progress. However, in its genesis there is a plot that goes beyond the attempt at a social reconfiguration should timely alert to denounce and act accordingly. The Colony Park, first selected a strategic location it seeks to establish in the first Delta island closest to the city of Buenos Aires (in front of San Fernando), and another model was proposed cluster housing with all the comforts of urban services in more "advanced" and based on the protection against "other" dangerous. The marketing of the enterprise, less words more words, appeals to the imagination of the feudal castle with its moat to contain external threats and shows a world of happiness in touch with nature. What obscures this private initiative, is that their possible existence is assumed and even extreme violence on the other, legitimate inhabitants of the island which would viper Haroldo Conti-Eels and Paloma streams: Ceibal, Sausal, several fish, grasses, capybaras, otters, and of course, men and women of the island, families with their unique way of life and work. The humiliation of the wetland ecosystem and the rights of all living things, put in place common than natural uncivilized, takes the form of an exclusion indifferent (as if nothing and no one there) where there saying a word, eg the burning or destruction of farms with no previous contact. The Colony Park in failing to record even the "other" (island), ignore it as another (different) but with rights (the same), goes beyond the point, and is emerging in line with the features of an era looming ominously, what renowned thinkers Boaventura de Sousa Santos calls "corporate fascism": "The expansion of corporate fascism is thus a viable future. (...) If you allow the market logic spills out of the economy in all fields of social life and become the only criterion for social and political interactions, society will become unmanageable and ethically repugnant. (...) The lag in social relations, between inclusion and exclusion has deepened so much that it becomes more and more space, including living in the civilized areas, the excluded areas wild. They get up barriers between them (gated, gated communities). Due to their potentially unmanageable in the wilderness the democratic state has been democratically empowered to act in a fascist. "
What is alarming is that this situation could be characterized as anecdotal or ad hoc, social matrices reproduces colonial times (which is ignoring the rights of others) but in scenarios typical of modern nation-state. It therefore seems appropriate to use the concept of social fascism to mark the seriousness of this experience you want to take shape in the islands off Buenos Aires, and also operates in a town-like Tigre-clocking of other events with a similar background. Remember just a couple. Very similar to what happens to Colony Park (whose chairman is Adrian Gabriel Schwartz) on the islands, also occurs on the side of the continent in Punta QuerandÃes, where another elite gated (draft EIDICO, whose best-known director George O ' Reilly) has enclosed an indigenous territory, and seeks to explicitly take over the ancestral place. But we can also include daily episodes and imperceptible, but straight out of a futuristic nightmare novel, still day in the spring of 2010, and the coast of Rio Tigre Lujan plagued by celebrating young mate and guitar (and some beer too), while tying my boat to the municipal pier, witnessed the power of Buenos Aires police prefecture and by land and water moving in closed line clearing the parade of young people who astonished resigned to obey orders. Concerned about these various situations if they are seen together, especially in a context in which some sectors of society who have abandoned all pretense of generating massive consensus, seek to govern society prioritizes making the demand for control and security (on the life and work), and already depressed, unthinkingly internalized fear of all: a pandemic, the kids jets, to the gigs, to tornadoes, to share the light bulb, etc. The battle for a society where everyone has a place, which means access to rights and resources, the very way of life, is now at stake in defending the river eels, which carry on the family island, in the eyes, say silent, that from the opposite bank maintains justice and local political power.
