"A physical structure of a country dependent on a corresponding cultural superstructure designed to prevent the knowledge of this dependence, so the thought of the natives ignore the nature of the drama and can not devise new solutions impossible until they know the evidence on which it must operate and the procedures as belonging to their own circumstances of time and place.

Jauretche, the prophets of hate

The top
(*) is a phrase that should certainly keep in mind when reading a Joaquín Morales Solá , To John Carlin or even a Nobel when he speaks or writes things that he was not awarded (to name but a few).

When I started this blog last 4 ½ years, I dedicated Jauretche Arturo (Jorge A. Sabato well) and I see with joy that the name of Don Arturo is much more effective then, but still is a delicious way to go in the retrieval and update their thinking ( reread this wonderful note that he dedicated Mario Wainfeld, or listen in the video that opens the post).

met last Saturday's birth 109 years Don Arturo. Today there seems to be reborn in much of the youth's passion and enthusiasm for political activism, his evocation is also a lifelong activist for national and popular causes. And it should serve to remind us that the militant should not give up the critical eye and with being a mere repeater of slogans, but the passion for activism include a passion for knowledge of reality and to unravel the mechanisms of oppression and domination . Go here Jauretche sketch he made of his disciple and friend Salvador Ferla.

"Jauretche had as Sarmiento, a stern countenance, an expression acidic, with knitted brows and a feline look, concentrated and stabbing, but were signs of intelligence and character, confused as to its sensitivity, which had an appreciable degree. Behind this tough-looking man is hiding a fine and tender, which I know in a personal way. It had a sense of camaraderie (rare in the intellectual, usually jealous and smug) product no doubt of its militant fervor.

His writing style was plain, folksy, conversational, without polish or formal dedications, and so much to entertain as to facilitate understanding of their arguments and uses the parable of the Gospel, he used the story, where the idea is enlightened by the experience and character does smiling effect by reference to particular circumstances and protagonists .(...) I saw him as a father figure as the ideal candidate for a lifetime senate seat if such had existed between us senate. (A senator-was his greatest political ambition for 10 years Peronist without success by how difficult it was to submit it to the vertical). He imagined a distant future as a venerable old man with a white beard in the style of Carlos Guido y Spano, who would go to him for advice because I knew by intelligent, gaucho and older. From such an Argentine who was killed May 25. Might be a post May 25, but fate was kind to him, and wanted it to be this May 25, 1974 to save the bitterness of those years of darkness that followed.

Shortly before dying, I called. I was worried about his illness and overwhelmed by the situation. I expressed sadness and bewilderment at the turn events were taking. To have witnessed the years of destruction and degradation would have roared from any platform, from exile, or the silence of his "disappearance" or have died of grief. Because this tax country, with more years of practice and perseverance on the job that Don Lisandro de la Torre, loved passionately to the country, he felt as his own and suffered a wound. So is present and valid. "

" Arturo Jauretche: think nationally. " Peace and Justice, May 1983.

(From the selection of texts Salvador by Arturo Ferla Navy for the magazine United , scanned by Digital Croqueta .)

PS: The same selection, this paragraph of Ferla on the performance of Don Arturo after the 1955 coup, is priceless and even useful to help think about the current situation :

"Jauretche dispensed Perón's speech and analyzed their deeds. Radiographed while the "Liberating Revolution", laying bare their motives hidden. And was Professor of common sense. He said that option had not been between Peron and the archangel Gabriel, but between Peron and his enemies. And that assessment of Peronism should be compared with other governments and not to an ideal pattern. Peron was criticized, I would add, from absolute freedom, absolute efficiency of absolute ethics, evaluating it from an ahistorical limbo. Conversely, Arturo taught to distinguish big from the small, contingent of the transcendent, the importance of the anecdotal, the kickback of treason, illegal fowl thieves countries. There in the realm of facts and the comparison is where Peronism was vindicated and "freedom" was disqualified. "

( Note: I think the "choice between Peron and the archangel Gabriel" is a creation of Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz also said Abel . Similarly, the authorship is not important.)
