<em>“Intoarcerea reprimatului” e o tema fundamentala, esentiala pentru intelegerea istoriei recente. „Proiectul Occidentului, proiectul nietzschean a urmarit eliminarea religiei si crearea unei societati seculare, in care barbatii si femeile sa-si creeze propriile valori, deoarece moralitatea a disparut, spune scriitorul britanic de origine pakistaneza Hanif Kureishi. Iar apoi religia, in forma ei radicala, se reintoarce din Lumea a Treia. Cum sa nu rizi de asa ceva? Cum sa nu vezi aici o profunda ironie a istoriei?”. <br />
Intoarcerea reprimatului reprezinta procesul prin care elementele reprimate, ce se pastreaza in subconstient, au tendinta sa apara din nou – in constiinta sau in comportament – sub forma unor „derivate ale subconstientului” de tip secundar, mai mult sau mai putin recognoscibile. Aceasta intoarcere a reprimatului, a ideologiilor impinse spre marginalizare, a subiectului sexual silit sa se ascunda, provoaca in ultimii ani o transformare aproape dramatica a unei societati napadite de spaime, halucinatii si reprimare, toate impuse de reglementarile inutile, ce sustin violenta represiva a guvernelor impotriva propriilor lor cetateni. <br />
Reprimarea ca proces psihic constient si voluntar, care consta in renuntarea la satisfacerea unei dorinte care nu se afla in concordanta cu persoana morala duce la anihilarea, alienarea celor mai simple dorinte si revolte.<br />
Teama principala acum este modelul noii diviziuni internationale a muncii. Acest concept aparent imprumutat de catre liderii capitalisti de la socialistii vechi ascunde in fapt ceva mult mai dur care va aduce indubitabil o intarire a statului ca instrument de represiune. Noua diviziune internationala a muncii este o chestiune mult mai important de discutat decât altele pentru ca este, poate, cea mai importanta cauza a a represiuniii, fie ea politica sau civila.<br />
Pe de alta parte, sistemul juridic actual privit atent ne releva un sistem revoltator, un sistem care sustine exploatarea de clasa, radicalizarea prapastiei intre clasele sociale si suprematia majoritatii albe heteronormative macho-patriarhale. Sistemul juridic sustine creearea obedientei politice si are grija de reglarea pretului muncii. in fapt protejeaza creearea de capital si un tip de inechitate legala. <br />
Pentru a intelege efectele majore ale violentei statului trebuie sa privim si alternativa: asistenta statala pentru cei saraci si pentru clasa muncitoare. Frances Fox-Piven si Richard Cloward scriau in "New Class War": "legatura dintre programele de mentinere ale veniturilor, piata muncii si profituri este indirecta, dar nu foarte complicata". Prea multa democratie sociala va determina oamenii sa nu mai fie multumti de salariile mizere, de conditiile infecte de lucru. Deci, chiar daca facem conversia, legaturile statului represiv cu piata muncii si profiturile nu sunt complicate deloc. <br />
Represia gestioneaza saracia. Saracia duce la reducerea lefurilor. Salariile mici cresc rata de exploatare si creaza profit. Ceea ce reprezinta scopul principal al statului.

<strong>EXPLORING THE RETURN OF REPRESSION</strong><br />

<em>“The return of the repressed” is a crucial theme, a key to understanding recent history. "The project of the West, the Nietzschean project, has been to drive out religion and to produce a secular society in which men and women make their own values, because morality is gone”, writes Hanif Kureishi, British writer of Pakistani descent. “Then suddenly radical religion returns from the Third World. How can you not laugh at that? How can you not find that a deep historical irony?"<br />
The return of the repressed is the process whereby repressed elements, preserved in the unconscious, tend to reappear, in consciousness or in behavior, in the shape of secondary and more or less unrecognizable "derivatives of the unconscious." This return of the repressed, of ideologies forced to marginalization, of sexuality subject to forced secrecy, has resulted, in recent years, in an almost dramatic change of a society filled with anguish, hallucinations, repression imposed by unnecessary regulations that serve to the repressive violence of governments against their own citizens.<br />
Repression as a conscious and voluntary psychological process, consisting of giving up the fulfillment of a desire which is not in full accord with the moral being, leads to the annihilation and alienation of the simplest desires and rebellions.<br />
The main apprehension is now the model of a new international division of labour. This concept has apparently been borrowed by the capitalist leaders from the old socialists, and it is actually hiding something even harsher, something that will bring forth the strengthening of the state as instrument of repression. The new international division of labour is a more important issue to discuss than others, because it is, perhaps, the most important cause of both the political and the civil repression. <br />
On the other hand, if we examine carefully the present legal system, it is reveal itself as a revolting system, supporting the class exploitation, the radicalization of the chasm among social classes and the supremacy of the white heteronormative and macho-patriarchal majority. The legal system supports the creation of the political obedience and it deals with the adjustment of the value of work. Actually, it protects the capital creation and a type of legal inequity.<br />
In order to understand the main effects of the state violence, we also have to consider the alternative: the social assistance for the poor and for the working class. Frances Fox-Piven and Richard Cloward wrote in New Class War: “the connection between the income maintenance programs, the labour market and profits is indirect, but not complicated”. Too much social democracy will make people stop being grateful for low wages and poor work conditions. Thus, even with the converse, the link between state repression, labour market and profits is not complicated at all.<br />
Repression manages poverty. Poverty depresses wages. Low wages increase the rate of exploitation and create profit. Which is the main purpose of the state. (Excerpt from: </em><em>Răzvan Ion, </em><em>"Exploring the return of repression" in the newspaper </em><em>"Exploring the return of repression"</em><em>).</em> <br />
