In societies such as Venezuela, Spain, Mexico and others around the world, they are currently going through a deep structural crisis. The reasons are various, ranging from the lack of production of goods and services, inflation, widespread corruption, excessive ideologization or the most sacred desire for freedom, for self-determination of their own destinies, are some of the factors that keep society on the brink of a social breakdown.
It is necessary to have Social Tolerance. The effort of each of the inhabitants of a country or members of particular organizations, in search of a new model, a new way of living together or producing is what makes that conglomerate of humans successful.
While it is true that man, in his quest to ensure the cohesion of all that he considers to be part of the self, of all that is identical to himself, in his quest to serve certain interests that he believes to be threatened, is intolerable; he then learns to be tolerant first out of necessity and then by a rational decision based on the pact of consensus motivated by the conflict of living together.
Yes, that's right, the need to live with one's peers makes man accept an undesirable situation in the face of an evil that could only be eradicated at a much greater cost. That is why, since the 20th century, tolerance has been established as a fundamental principle of peaceful coexistence and of living together in the midst of diversity, pluralism and interdependence.
Social tolerance will require us to find a compromise that slovenia phone number allows us to live in fraternal coexistence with our fellow citizens, respecting their way of life, their way of thinking and above all their way of conceiving the management of our society. We are victims of a sowing of hatred, resentment and antagonism transmitted from the very superstructure of the State that has penetrated all levels of our society.
How can we free ourselves from this vicious circle? Not by brooding over events that have been suffered through intolerance, not by thinking of revenge or the imposition of our ideas.
Intolerance as an ideology and as a political system seems to be germinating in a country in crisis. In Germany, for example, the deep economic and social crises of the past allowed the fascist regime to emerge. The Nazis maintained that:
“Tolerance leads to a neutral State, stripped of its substance, against which the only remedy is the Total State.”
In accordance with their Nazi thinking, and as they demonstrated, they maintained that such a State does not tolerate the existence of hostile forces within it that hinder its action. For them, adversaries, ordinary citizens who did not profess their ideas were considered enemies, traitors and stateless persons, and therefore should be persecuted, excluded and even killed.
The recent events in Venezuela and Catalonia show that this way of thinking has taken root in rulers who, although they profess ideologies different from the Nazis, act like good SS officers. Let us beware of extremists.
In my opinion, “social tolerance is the right to otherness, openness to the other.” The extremist takes advantage of the difficulty that this implies. It presents itself as an attempt to remain oneself, against alleged global plots or plots by international political sectors. Even extremist leaders present themselves as the only “politically correct” ones, and behave as if their ideology, identity and permanence must be preserved at all costs against external influences and internal pressures.
It is easy to organize political struggle around hatred, but it is difficult to structure politics on the basis of solidarity.
