As often happens, however, very rarely statements and actions are on the same wavelength. In today's democracies, citizens strangers to the fetishism of membership left and right, they feel helpless, chained, crushed in a kind of ideological stranglehold that crushes all reasoning is not aligned, it inhibits the paralyzing and ultimately destroy it. The ideology in question, which some have properly defined "unique thought", is the only religion propagated and protected by an efficient police apparatus of opinion. The arrogance, the arrogance displayed by this unit reached unsustainable levels by the collapse of the Soviet Union, which could lead some thinkers like Adorno and Horkheimer to speak of totalitarianism. The "unique thought" essentially consists in protecting the economic interests of the great agents of international finance capital. This new ideology was formulated at the conference held in Bretton Woods in 1944. Its basic structures are institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, the World Trade Organization, artfully designed to spread widely through substantial funding, the dogmas on which stands the new secular religion. Propaganda organs such as the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times, often owned by financial groups dominating, then close the circle with a constant work in spreading the belief, knowing that these beautiful society of the spectacle, the obsessive repetition of a thesis is equivalent to its empirical demonstration. The free economy from state control, in favor of the fluidity of a market with an innate ability to self-correction, based on competition that stimulates the modernizing thrust, these are the foundations of the "pensée unique", deductible from the statements of every politician, and right left. The rampant unemployment, job insecurity to which workers are forced to adapt, the destruction of the ecosystem, the appalling imbalance between wealth and poverty are considered simple faults, when innocent allegations to discredit this world gorgeous from the seeds of the "pensée unique". E 'paradoxical that this economic era, which resulted in a deep economic crisis still exists, coincides with an overwhelming ideological consensus, imposed by the media and revealed hundreds of surveys. Critics however are regularly marginalized, isolated, cornered, emphasizing those if they had forgotten about the continued relevance of the concept expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his famous speech at the Harvard University 8 June 1978, when he stated that "In USSR silence opponents should shut them up, here in the West simply subtract them the microphone. "You can pretty much agree that the" pensée unique "is founded on the primacy of economics over politics, reduced to mere" administration ", a coterie of bureaucrats employed in the financial markets, real holders real power. A political class indifferent to the terrible problems that afflict millions of people, but ready to translate into law the guidance given by the agents of capital, which demand a strong currency, the severity of the budget, reducing labor costs. A dangerous logic, which in the name of globalization promotes the relocation of companies, leading wages and social security level with Western ones, much lower, of the competing countries in the Far East, resulting in a real income transfer from low to high. The myriad of measures patently unfair and unbalanced are regularly carried out under the pressure of financial markets. Europe's "Lisbon Treaty" gave the final proof of this, and many have spoken of a "step forward" and "Progress". Spontaneously wonder where is the "progress" in the degeneration of a system that has led, among other things, the dismantling of the welfare state, lower wages and job insecurity.
