In an article of this nature, I can only repeat topics. Sorry. And will be innovative in another moment. When the evidence is so brutal, when the mere fact it is so overwhelmingly clear, when the simple story of the news and knocks, you can not find bizarre ways to say or start a captatio benevolentiae the reader. So, if topic is my title, "Pedro Varela and Fahrenheit 451", topic will be what they read, but the more you say, and from more places the better.
deeply saddens me that in Spain, so beautiful free country, anyone can go to jail for selling books. That comes first. And I find it appalling that someone is tried, go to prison and is ordered (I guess) burned copies per title as Race, intelligence and education of HJ Eysenck , author of the leaders in some areas of the careers of Philosophy and Psychology in Spain, as Wagner thought, it is published in the nineteenth century Houston Stewart Chamberlain , died in 1927, or historical texts Adolf Hitler , Corneliu Codreanu and Ion Mota , among others.
What does this order? What is forbidden to read these works in particular? It seems as recorded in the statement, quoted by a newspaper and blog, that these works have "content insulting to the Jewish people and other ethnic minorities, women, homosexuals (...)." I have not read all and I can not say, but I've read others with this type of content regarding any of the groups mentioned and, if we had to apply ourselves to destruction, we would not mind either in Europe or the world , and all booksellers and editors behind bars, from Aristotle on, regarding the treatment of women, is to choose, on this subject, and also in the treatment of homosexuals, the books of major world religions without exception (yes, Buddhists as well), but especially Christians, Muslims and Jews, were to be removed from the circuit, do not forget the morning prayer of the Jews: "Thank you, Lord, for not being born a woman"); "'s turn to racist? There have Miguel de Unamuno , for example, that would be reviewed, as he called the extermination of the Indians, as had Gabriela Mistral and, of course, bye bye to Karl Marx , Friedrich Engels , Vladimir I. Lenin , Mao Zedong he Che Guevara ... as well as Jean-Paul Sartre , Roland Barthes , Michel Foucault and do not know how many more, the first for instigating and / or run, the last to celebrate the existence of genocidal regimes, and to come closer to our times, I have a special memory for José Saramago , another lively linebacker current dictators, whose books, however, are everywhere.
In short, nothing justifies censorship of literary or historical, nothing, then, where do you start and where it ends? Would you ever reach the turn José Antonio to Ramiro Ledesma and other English theorists (I do not even think Onesimus Redondo )? Do expunged his works? Is it prohibited? And this to me gives me chills. Freedom of expression can not be a weapon that is picked up or dropped to like the ideology of commandment, but an essential right in a Western society. That communists have killed tens of millions of human beings does not imply promote their extermination. Things distinguish.
Before closing the newspaper, I read that besides the books are going to destroy a bust of Hitler in the 40's of XX century! And here I get paranoid, because one of the works that will (I assume) is on burn Richard Wagner , and then I think the bust that I have next to the piano. "They will come for him too!? But, ugh, I reassured. Not Wagner is Ludwig van Beethoven . And Beethoven, to tell anyone what Otherwise, it is still innocent.
