We could have changed the world. Other times, a new opportunity arose 
that we have missed due to the size of the so-called Neolithic 
revolution. ---- For example, if remote work had been preserved in all 
cases, carbon emissions would have been reduced, which is why today 
marches continue to be held where no one attends with a mask because 
Covid, that chimera, is something worrying. yes and only if you have 
immune compromise; massive infections would have been cornered, and 
space would have been freed up in the central areas of the crowded 
metropolises, massive movements of people to go to work would have been 
avoided, the working day would have been reduced until capitalist work 
could be abolished from this land, cut off with displacements and 
gentrifications that then stimulate burning by the ministries of real 
estate speculation. We could have ended tourism in all its forms, and 
therefore gentrification in one fell swoop. We could have stopped sneaky 
forms of colonization, covert forms of invasion under the label 
"travel." Without tourism, without airplanes, without resorts, we could 
have contributed or at least slowed down the inexorable extermination of 
all the animals on this planet whose existence is decimated due to the 
existence of our civilization. We could have given the Earth a break and 
like a garden that regenerates with rain after a drought, let it grow 
green with our stillness and rest, with our abstinence from consumption 
and production. We could have stopped the clearing of what little 
remains of the jungle and the burning of the native forest with our 
refusal to reintegrate.

We could have given the Earth a break and, like a garden that 
regenerates with rain after a drought, let it grow green with our 
stillness and repose, with our abstinence from consumption and production.

We could also have abolished the school, that little prison office where 
citizenship is learned, a machine that produces us like submissive 
sausages for the law, peace, decency, and order; where you learn 
democracy, that lie created by sophisticated Hellenic pedophiles, today 
as strengthened as the fachogresía; We could have put an end to the 
meritocratic myth that those who want are poor due to lack of will 
because this is the land of opportunities and bad luck if you also have 
an illness. We could have done so much with inaction, we could have 
ended scientific research in the service of glyphosate and genetically 
modified food. We could have annulled the unbridgeable distance between 
unattainable artists, false idols, and fanatical viewers thirsty to 
express insensitive emotions. We could have achieved the abolition of 
school (and of all formal institutionalized education in Western and 
white institutions of confinement) in pursuit of alternatives for the 
creation of knowledge, sharing and free circulation of knowledge that 
include other approaches, without coercion, without notes, without 
classrooms, without schedules, without obligation. We were able to 
return to the professions, shortening the distance between who knows and 
what is about to know, enough to once again know if it is going to rain 
today just by looking at the sky or in which direction the wind is 
blowing and what that means.

Nor did returning to normal maintain ties of support and protection for 
people who are necessarily alone. However, the empty 5-star hotels that 
first year of the pandemic could have been forced to house, sine die, 
free of charge any person homeless or in unsuitable housing who 
requested it along with their pets in instead of fighting to get in 
there to work with a labor contract written in inclusive and a ram union.

The quality of the air in both closed and public spaces would have been 
improved with a lower influx of capacity in unavoidable spaces of high 
demand, such as a pharmacy, a hospital, or a bus station, and with a 
restrictive use of fuel vehicles fossil; but especially the air 
conditioning of offices, hospitals, institutions in general that begins 
to claim lives with bacteria like legionella. We could have created an 
awareness of avoiding infections with precautionary measures of all 
kinds for infectious transmissions with voluntary preventive isolation 
in the presence of symptoms instead of going to work anyway, take cold, 
it's nothing, my throat hurts, I slept badly and without a mask spit or 
sneeze on a packed train during rush hour. We could have understood that 
health is not the normal state of the body but a state of exception, a 
maximum intensity that must be collectively prolonged with caution, 
among other things, stopping capitalism and the murderous work within 
it, instead of exacerbating it. that the vulnerable are dispensable like 
a plastic diaper floating stinking on the coast on which a hungry and 
dirty seagull perches.

We could have taken the means of production, and discarded what we could 
do without, in favor of a life where there is not so much to choose from 
in the aisle of desires, but for someone to be completely left out to 
their fate is unthinkable. Work arrangements without customer service, 
abolished the possibility of, for a modest sum of money, experiencing 
the opportunity to know what it feels like to be royalty and have 
someone do your hands or clean crumbs from a table that is served to you 
without speaking. We could have learned to eat and cook what suits each 
individual body best outside of the agro-industrial models of GMOs and 
glyphosate, take charge of our food, create community gardens and cook 
for those who cannot do so. We could have established permanent 
neighborhood care networks for the elderly, and for any single person 
who does not want to be alone or who requires support. We could have 
gone to look for all the childhoods that live locked up in orphanages 
and reformatories, that is, penitentiaries for the crime of being born, 
and take charge collectively, not leaving them where they continue, 
where they remain while they imitate the rich and famous and acquire 
blonde children. Angeladas of Chernobyl (it's cheaper) for the right to 
choose the religion of the Rickimartian family and the right to the 
future of diverse childhoods that have not yet been born.

We could have abolished the police after all the atrocities they carried 
out in all parts of the world even during an unprecedented health 
emergency as the abusive, sadistic and miserable scourges that they are. 
We could have once again wished for the end of capitalism in each and 
every one of its forms. We could have made the mask our new anonymous 
face that reflects the fragility inherent to all existence and its 
criminal entity to survive in this atrocity called late capitalism, but 
it gives us security that the security cameras take photos of us, the 
verified profile on the social network, and sign autographs.

Moving less, moving little, moving barely, moving slowly, we were able 
to stop the world. Live small instead of being the officials of the 
agony of this machine of torture and extermination under the pretext of 
doing good, rights and laws, that death trap.

We could have risen to the occasion for once and taken a leap into the 
emptiness of a new paradigm, where we could be safe, have the shelter of 
a den and like the first monachoi, share everything, mutual care, food, 
the body. That for once in this century freedom was not the market.

See everyone agree that this world can do without the old and the sick, 
as well as neutrophils, as well as the neural synapses due to the 
consequences, as long as we can return to work, to schools, to banks and 
offices, to recitals, and birthdays. How mediocre and saddening to want 
to return to a life just like the one we had. We could have risen to the 
occasion for once and taken the opportunity to leap into the void of a 
new paradigm, an unknown dimension where we could be safe, have the 
shelter of a lair and like the first monachoi, share it. everything, 
mutual care, food, the body. That for once in this century freedom was 
not the market.

Those who talk about the future of their children and think about them 
being happy and lacking an honest job as office employees of a 
multinational or as employers of exploited people until mentally their 
parents canceled the future precisely because they were bored at home 
and missed the social forms where the only way to entertain is to 
consume and exploit someone else, what will they tell you? That they 
were afraid and returned happily, happily singing, to the house of a 
rapist and severe father but with air conditioning in summer and a 
balanced draft in winter, instead of confronting him and giving him the 
final blow? Do you think that the water that continues to become 
contaminated will be enough for your children to drink? What will they 
understand from what we leave written, from what we say, a whole 
generational mob of people with mental fog or vascular damage, whose 
health, whose cells are mutated by the recurrent reinfections, ignored 
and naturalized, of a virus that does not stop? to be modified due to 
permanent circulation with a health system, public or free, that is not 
enough? What history will they create for future generations of 
activists for the functional diversity of the consequences of permanent 
covid, will they know that we could have prevented their oppression from 
existing but that on a planetary scale we choose to let them become sick 
to the point of disability while they die from lack of water under the 
infernal heat of a planet that burns forever so as not to have to 
deprive ourselves of any of the compensatory joys that capitalism 
offered us and therefore now we are desertification and pesticides?

My spirit will never calm down again, how could it, after having seen a 
portal that opens to another world, and seeing it close, like in the 
movies, and not having been able to take the leap.

They agreed to call ALL of this NORMALITY, which speaks clearly of how 
much the civilization that cannot live without, formatted as fresh from 
the factory, its planned obsolescence, is willing to accept sacrifice. 
And they looked back with stone eyes like pillars of salt. It is very 
scary that the Nazis are so poorly dressed, camouflaged everywhere 
without any distance or confrontation between forms of life. And let the 
rest be apathy, inertia, or disappointment.

Eventually, they will knock on your door too.
