Enver of vuejtun, or the glad Sali? | Newspaper theme
Circulated these days full of news and comments in the media, a government the rock villa in Vlora, which spent Too excessive and that, with its luxury, greed or irresponsibility testifies to the ruling class and that the Prime Minister himself.
Yesterday had come even a veteran SP, Sabit Brokaj, declared to the heady spending the rock Shqiptaresse governors today can not even be compared with those of the previous system and the "Villa of Enver was modest."
This statement does not know why a characterization reminded me that he had made the house of Enver Hoxha PJ O'Rourke, during his visit to Albania in 1997 (Eat the Rich, Atlantic Monthly Press, July 1999, p. 54). When talking about the atmosphere in the "block" O'Rourke writes that
Their idea [of district Hoxha] for luxury was half-suburban, same type of semi suburban neighborhood where you're trying to convince your parents to find homes, steal cars before them. However residences Hoxha's house looks like a very successful dentist in Chicago. There is something of the Prairie style of Chicago in its broad windows, but keqpërpjesëtuara; on the roof of lumbering, deep peaked; and extensive terracing of stone, hewn - let's call it Frank Lloyd leftist.
However, there is a major error in these comparisons; not wrong in the sense that any comparison is flawed, but the risk of homologation of two completely different systems between them; and two different types which autocrats - Hoxha then, Berisha today - enter the relationship with power.
As the leader of a totalitarian regime pure Hoxha embody "enrichment" of his or her individual success through the accumulation of power; otherwise, he can stay with creepers from breakfast to dinner, and no one will make the slightest protest.
In one of his books of memoirs, Hoxha wrote that he had once asked his sister Nexhmije or that to patch a torn umbrella old - and I have believed this; because it has been the culture of Hoxha: a provincial petit bourgeois, stingy and respectful thing and abuse.
In Hoxha's memories (or memories of Kadare Hoxha, now s'mbaj mind) I read about Stalin, who ate for dinner a bowl of soup or bean sprouts. Of course, unlike the first ç'kish ours, mirënjihej Stalin, at that time, to feast every night gargantuane that lay in the Kremlin (Khrushchev has cost them many pages feasts kapitëse stalled in his memories); but the chief of Soviet totalitarianism did not have any passion for luxury the rock - plenty to remember setrën military boots that do not ever remove from the body.
Can they now compare hemp gjimnastjorka of felt, or dock proletarian battleship gray color of the Chinese Mao, pig skin of Stalin's boots and T-shirts of the natural sheep wool Enver, the rock with ties glittered, the rulers of today's kaleidoscopic petulant, Berlina their expensive lifestyle of gangsters (yes of Chicago, in the 1930s), islands with names pashqiptueshëm where to vacation and other feats that even the telling s'lodhet vetëShqiptarja in its pages pink?
Today's power is essentially banal; which embodies the essence of, among others, the consumption of conspicuous or visible (conspicuous Consumption) of its protagonists - who are forced to look, otherwise you lose the race immediately with rivals remain behind, exposed to the omissions, downward, rrokullimës and defeat.
Under totalitarianism, by contrast, conspicuous consumption was kept to a crime economic, political and ethical versus an almost cult and përkorës Christian poverty; like the guru of the self-privuese sects, leaders then consumed not the best material, but power over another. You can wear expensive costume Polish cloth, saying Enver Hoxha, but I take away the underwear is love.
Objektohet be more prominent than the consumption or out is a kind of violence, however indirectly, at least to the envious; and who can spend millions of exploit Berisha & Co.. with every car, swimming the rock pool and carpet translate the suffering of others, who are getting these millions.
I do not want to object to this; but equally can not accuse so openly and simply, today's government, forcing the pursuit of luxury, as this was a puddle of fabric otherwise inexcusable dishonesty in snow white virtue of their humanity.
And upgrade the system being reproduced in Albania, with joyful participation of all citizens, and asks the dirt itself. No one can be expected to behave as Berisha Uruguayan president Mujica, within a regime the rock like the current one in Tirana, where conspicuous consumption functions as a catalyst for the dynamics of power.
