So America's great 21st century contribution to fomenting freedom abroad was not imposing it militarily but enabling it technologically, as an epiphenomenon of globalization. And for a second act, globalization returned the favor, turning democratic uprisings in developing countries into inspirational exports for the rich world.

Indignation 5_Spanish Election, election?

Next 20th of November there is election in Spain to choose a new government...

A recent study of select provinces revealed that more than half of conservatives and one-third of Socialists on the list were being investigated for corruption.

A youth protest movement has been decrying the unresponsiveness of the political class with twin slogans: “The politicians don’t represent us” and “They call it democracy, but it’s not that.” Recent polls found that only about 55 percent of these “indignados” turned out to vote in municipal elections (10 percent less than the national 
average). Of those who did, 15 percent cast blank ballots.

I think all of us can learn a lot from this old man who fought against the Nazis, helped to build the French democracy and took part in the writing of the Human Rights.
I think you must read this small book (originally written in French but available in English, in Spanish,...).

Indignation 1

Very interesting documentary about the current crisis. It is in Greek but subtitles in English and in French are available.
