I'm not gonna vote on this presidential elections. For real changes, first, in a capitalist system(and I'm not making a discourse about it, I really don't), were the politicians are just a  medium of the ecnomoic concerns -and all politician knows that very well -, voting is not the best way of achieve that goal.

And I do have troubles with this task, and most of all with people who lived during the dicatatorship. And they're right, but -to me- until certain point.

People who grew up on fear, knowing that, if you  -even-  had a critical thinking about the paths where the country was going to , if you had raised your voice against the countless humiliations; the genocidal and megalomaniac dictator with his criminal friends  would surely hounted you till make shuted up your "communist" mouth(...for ever) - beacause, for them, if you weren't a "real" chilean, you were part of the terrorists.

But one day the people started singin'.:"Chile, the Happiness is coming". And we're still waiting for happiness (and maybe, just maybe, the wallet of those politicians that builded up this "happiness", is very very happy. Not like the mother that can't feed the hungry mouth of her childrens because of the miserable salary; or the old woman and man that can't afford a decent health, a decent way of life, beacause they didn't have the modesty of die three days after their retirement; etc...)

I'm not going to wait for happiness just with taking part of this political circus ; the happiness will never come just with the act of voting. If you want some change ( this is the way I see it), you have to build every day your "republican" ideals, because your voice is not just a mark in a paper every four years. I see the suffrage like a kind  of "assistancialist"  way of penetrate in the community (like the UDI in the poblaciones), an easy way of demostrate the participation. Beacuse there is not a real participation or a real presence in the problems that you want to resolve, you're not making a change, you don't use your hands and neither your mind for change this fraudulent system; and believing that a politician will make that for you, is a really lazy way of compromiseing with some change (or anything at all).

Your mind is being chewed by the speeches of this very very "honest" people and your identity is being totally erased.

I think I (we) can change my (ours) way of life, but not with "mediums"; like the church and the priests with that thing called god. I bealieve in the direct action, in the direct participation and common work.

And I don't wanna be a politician.
