appeal to the selfishness
- education strike: Reformation or Rebellion?
Once upon a time in Vienna, ...
... an October in which local students spontaneously decided to fill their biggest auditorium. They probably had no idea that their action, such a wave cause of the protests. Worldwide, universities and solidarity of the Austrians did it the same. Even in the stronghold of Trier, a group which took the initiation. The AK-protest came as early as last summer in appearance and then joined the cast of the lecture hall on 17 November. What were the general reasons for an occupation of last fall? to give
the demands of the summer bring emphasis
●
expressed solidarity with Vienna
●
to sabotage the normal operation
●
university to establish a free space

for the AK-protest in the special the claim was crucial not to make the occupation confrontational but participatory. This meant in practice that a room was taken, without any stipulations of any kind Rather, students should be involved with the problems and the space itself. The group went from a sense of responsibility of those present in the VV and with (be) provoking fellow students. In retrospect, this may be criticized as naive and ultimately disorganized.
For the self-organization has been only partially realized. While infrastructural work and organization went as far as possible, could in the long run not a theoretical Group for the relining of the political (!) Establish the form of protest. Finally, in this form of protest against the university and what it stands for, a symbol of defiance. Where was the media about the background of these actions be heard? Without a clear positioning and development of an overall social analysis, a protest against the existing education policy does not tackle the root of evil but also reduces himself to claims with only cosmetic potential. The education system follows a logic function to the overall social system is inherent. How could it be otherwise? Finally emerged and is in the midst of a bourgeois liberal democracy.
It was only marginally by analysis of the interdependence of educational institutions, policy and market. The students denied temporarily the privileges of their academic training (give at great commitment disadvantages compared to "regular continuing students) to make in return for the rest-enforcement training enjoyable. But the reform of the reform will probably achieve little. After studying, they are also subject to the laws of the labor market and compete with each other. Their post-university life is up to the retirement age to 67 by the same logic function (Competition, performance pressure, selection, etc.) run against which they protest in the area of academic training.
Why free education demand in an economy of increasing coercion? Very few make it at least some basic questions to the school structure and educational paradigms as a whole. There is then the purpose to question the whole institution, rather than their form. For example, why the school is structured exactly as it is and what it means for her role in the overall system? That analysis would inevitably lead to a fruitful and critical debate, perhaps too politicized people. But while Aristotle
people politicon nor as zoon defined as a being that is doomed to law firm - including the political life (such as forced to compromise), the public space is now regarded as democratic as he is apolitical. A political form of protest without political content, however, leads to absurdity. While demands on the table which can only be met by the whole of basic education is designed for new, but what does this mean the mass appears to protesters not to be clear. An educational revolution (and not-reformation) can not be held in an isolation area of society, it is still an integral part of shuffle mode. From the pre-and postamble of the education debt security strike can be concluded with certainty that the drafters were aware of his. In order to mobilize the broadest possible "movement" has been given a framework to embody, it was decentralized.
But this was not a sufficient way. Rather, solidarity, first of all established opinion spectra to the disjointed, to exploit the vacuum pending claims for itself, later followed suit as reactionary right-wing groups to the same. Only by insufficient analysis and theory of solidarity on the part of fraternities and Autonomous Nationalists are understood.
Such lack of quality can weaken in its medium to long term the only protest. On the one hand, revolutionary views are being pushed out of the horizon and on the other hand, the essential spectrum of society, the theoretical foundation for the possibility of a real "movement" failed.
Only through considering and questioning the social function logic, it is possible to hit bridges. Be it with workers, academics, migrants, students, etc. Even the middle class, because today there is the collateral of the previous generations simply no longer. The policy of clinging desperately to the post-war idea of eternal growth, job security, the pension system and health care for everyone n. But the results of our agenda-setter inside are discrepancies between expectations and reality more evident. The profiles of the parties to limit increasingly blurred into a ball, programs and strategies to the management of poverty and the reproduction of the status-quo. Instead of criticizing this condition, the failure of our imagination to determine classical democracy and social market economy, public life is trivialized watching. This includes the lack of content in favor of phrases, loss of a political culture of debate in favor of lack of opinion, friction loss in favor of cozy atmosphere. The postulate of constructive overloaded heavy as lead on the claim of critical and open digressions - may speak out only those who are also pragmatic and ready to communicate over the instances that presents the regressive atmosphere of the status quo have to answer for.
We need the debates on concepts covered in dust again lead again. Worker, democracy, social welfare, freedom, peace and much more. These definitions appear to be safe have again put to the test and adapted to developments in society and the lives of people. The old certainties are out, instead we are touted new collateral - actually offered for sale. The work histories, social demography and family structure differ, especially in Western nations indicate increased instability and insecurity in the individual life. The security of our time are to be striven for protection from violence, whether from terrorism or before linksradikalem ideas as violence against the constitutional state - as a threat to a free and democratic society. is by us permanent capacity (with check) and flexibility expected. We should throw our joy in precarious life biographies and force us not let the pressure, but accept it, reform and reproduce. Nothing else is a form of strike is the meaning of the word strike was not aware of.
Makes you! Forms bands! Forms a different world! The recent protests use of the existing conditions in that they are only on reformations of the system and thus to be help in his continuing purpose to obtain, even more develop his form continues. This helps people to you (!) Measured in the claims do not begin to the same extent as it benefits the systemic construct. In this respect, this paper's appeal to the egoism questioned the obvious - make a decision for competition and profitability criteria, or against it! If you decide not large claims regarding fewer tests, higher and more regular study time. entirely obsolete. For the following query on the performance of university real thing, a different guise: in the form of the manifest undertaking with the purposes of performance - profitability - profit. The necessity for competitive sale of their own work force decorated with diplomas and attested expertise shows this pattern of significant. Against this logic to defend the formation of protests around the world. But how can we call an island within the larger society without this feature logic and establish? And only for a privileged part of the people - the students!
This is the wrong selfishness can only lead to elitist Away from the actual life. Protest must be the whole question and oppose all inhuman conditions in the areas of life. And this for the better life for all - that a better personal future can be possible.
