osobna listening historia:
nahravam na mc z radia (aj cez piesne na zelania – kompletizujem beatles diskografiu)
cd si kupujem
grabujem cd (oliver, slavo)
mp3 cd storing & sharing (danky)
mc v aute (pvt)

stahujem z filesharingu (jan 2010: co sa dnes stalo? stiahol som 25 albumov. panboh zaplat)
napalene cds v aute
snivam o what.cd

magde:
v poslednej dobe dost uvazujem o ‘pocuvani hudby’
(socialne, intersubjektivne, esteticke aspekty,
najma v suvislosti s kazdodennostou, s travenim casu),
napriklad si pozriem cez last.fm co pocuva gnd, zapnem si to
tiez a bavime sa na skype;
podobne na IRCcku co tam stale visime piati-siesti tak
vzdy cca tusim co prave pocuvaju ostatni a je to celkom
pekny element v spolocnom ‘hanging out’;
hudbu tiez dost zdielam a cez to aky na nu dostanem
feedback od ludi ich tiez spoznavam;
tiez idea performance ako pocuvania – ze performer postavi
nastroj alebo nejaky setup, semtam mu nejak pomoze, ale
primarne pocas performance si ho prisiel vypocut podobne
ako ostatne poblikum; atd…
ten trip do srbska a rumunska s tym suvisi tiez… lucia a gnd
idu okrem rozhovorov nahravat aj prostredie, ambient,
bude to pocuvaci vylet… :)
…
Shingo sa tomu venuje tiez:
“Except for artistic activities, he works as organizer too.
His organized events is called “listening point”. One big purpose of the
concert is to realize a space on which not only public but also
musicians too can “listen together”. Namely, “point for listening”.
In addition to,the listening as an activity expands more through
this “point”, it’s meant,too.”

velke strany nemaju vela miesta na manevrovanie a ciselna a abstraktna politika je odsudena na populizmus
a flexibilnu navigaciu v chaotickom prostredi; v principe je sucastou europskeho samoregulujuceho sa mechanizmu, takze tam ide v podstate o fazulky.
what matters su minority – romovia, narodnostne mensiny (ukrajinci, vietnamci, cinania; nie madari, tych je vela a zle sa mat nebudu), imigranti (slovensko prijima zalostne malo ludi), bezdomovci a socialne slabi,
nabozenske mensiny (moslimi).
velke strany sa tymto temam spravidla vyhybaju, male nemaju skusenosti a vo velkej politike ambicie osekavaju pripadne sa ich uplne vzdaju v pude sebazachovy.
politicke strany ich v podstate nepriznane outsourcuju do tretieho sektora.
takze paradoxne meciar urobil pre slovensko plus ked zaviedol 2%.
? ktore strany dnes hovoria o podpore a vyzname tretieho sektora?
dalej ekologia, kultura a skolstvo…… vsetko minoritne temy. (za dzurindu boli granty lepsie ako za socialistov…)
ako zivnostnika mi rovna dan priniesla vyrazne ulahcenie uctovnictva (vacsim podnikatelom a investorom
zvonka stransparentnenie ekonomie podnikania)

ministri kultury – ktore vlady mali ake vysledky?
zivnostnici – co nove nam dali ktore vlady? dzurinda rovnu dan
treti sektor – meciar 2%

[10:54:18 AM] dirtyintunel: no,to je jedno, ja pojdem volit takzvane mensie zlo:)a z principu by som nebola schopna neist volit
[10:54:23 AM] dirtyintunel: ale to je jedno
[10:54:36 AM] dusanson: nj
[10:54:44 AM] dusanson: ja som zvazoval pragmaticky pristup
[10:56:12 AM] dusanson: ale v konecnom dosledku nevidim rozdiel zasadny
[10:58:50 AM] dirtyintunel: no, ja myslim ze mat vo vlade extremnych nacionalistov napriklad a mat vo vlade pravicovu vladu je celkom rozdiel.aj ked samozrejme, kazdy si moze povedat ze vsetci su rovnake svine
[10:59:21 AM] dirtyintunel: no, tak sa teda asi minieme.
[11:00:10 AM] dirtyintunel: ja budem v ba asi len par dni: pondelok, utorok, stredu rano nejak vyrazim späť aby som stihla byt o stvrtej vo fra
[11:03:54 AM] dusanson: veci ktore pre mna politicky maju zmysel – kvalitne skolstvo, nezavislu kulturu, romov, narodnostne mensiny, imigrantov, socialne vylucenych – outsourcuju strany ktore by som potencialne volil na bedra neziskoviek, ktore ale ledva prezivaju – nenasiel som ziadnu stranu ktora by mala priority rozvoj tretieho sektora, skolstvo, kulturu a ekologiu… ostatne veci sa uz samoreguluju v ramci toho ze SK je integrovane do EU
[11:07:07 AM] dusanson: chybaju mi na slovensku zeleni, ktori boli v cechach na vrchole pred 4 rokmi
[11:07:46 AM] dusanson: + som laviciar, nech uz to v postkomunistickych realiach vyznieva hocako
[11:35:58 AM] dirtyintunel: ja som tiez laviciar a aj tak nedam proste hlas smeru, lebo to pre mna nie je lavica
[11:36:22 AM] dirtyintunel: radsej budem volit pravicu nez mu dat hlas tym ze volit vobec nepojdem
[11:37:01 AM] dirtyintunel: a este som si neprecitala vsetky volebne programy ale vyberiem si podla toho co mi bude pripadat ze ma asi najvacsi zmysel.
[11:38:33 AM] dusanson: ja ak by som volil tak most, ale pride mi dost necitatelny
[11:39:29 AM] dirtyintunel: zelenych nemame to je fakt, a ktovie kedy mat budeme.ale zatial proste budem volit to co je sice nedokonale ale aspon nie uplne za ramcom nejakej slusnosti: napriklad ked chces podporu pre romov a neziskovky,tak ti mozem povedat ze neziskovky sa maju teraz tisic krat horsie nez sa mali v dobe sdku.tym nevravim ze idem volit sdku, ale rozhodne nechcem nechat prepadnut svoj hlas smeru
[11:42:10 AM] dirtyintunel: takmer vsetky dlhodobejsie projekty rozvojovej pomoci boli narusene a vlastne tym znicene odkedy su strany smer a sns pri moci.a proste ked mam moznost ich odtial dostat,tak to proste spravim aj za cenu toho ze nemozem volit stranu ktora by sa mi fakt ze pacila
[11:42:50 AM] dirtyintunel: alebo sa o to aspon pokusim
[11:43:02 AM] dirtyintunel: lebo je mozne ze to aj tak vyhraju
[11:43:36 AM] dirtyintunel: ale fakt tomu nebudem prispievat tym ze nepojdem volit.ale to je moj nazor.mozno sa mylim
[11:44:09 AM] dusanson: ake su preferencie teraz
[11:44:11 AM] dusanson: ?
[11:44:35 AM] dirtyintunel: netusim, budem sa tym zaoberat vo fra, tam mam na taketo veci cas popri praci:)
[11:44:44 AM] dirtyintunel: teraz musim pisat
[11:45:08 AM] dusanson: pozeram , ze pises jak gonzales )
[11:45:14 AM] dirtyintunel: ale volit proste urcite pojdem, nech by boli akekolvek.a nemam rada taky ten nazor ze : ved to je aj tak jedno.
[11:45:59 AM] dusanson: jaka debata zrazu
[11:46:03 AM] dirtyintunel: mam uz fakt radsej strajkujucich francuzov kazdy utorok a stvrtok nez mamvpicistickych slovakov co nedojdu na demosku lebo prsalo :)
[11:46:04 AM] dusanson: ja tu cvicim popritom
[11:46:27 AM] dirtyintunel: heh, sory.uz som ticho.
[11:49:05 AM] dusanson: hh, sdku chyba este par desatin percent a mozu zrobit koaliciu so smerom
[11:49:25 AM] dirtyintunel: tak to je celkom smrt
[11:49:31 AM] dusanson: pod to neviem ci sa chcem podpisovat
[11:49:31 AM] dirtyintunel: taka koalicia
[11:50:00 AM] dusanson: myslim ze pragmaticky pristup mal zmysel proti meciarovi
[11:50:07 AM] dusanson: ze laviciari volili pravicu atd
[11:50:23 AM] dusanson: pred 8 rokmi
[11:50:23 AM] dirtyintunel: no, tak ako hovoria vsakovake ceske protikampane a kampane, strc hlavu do piesku :)
[11:50:27 AM] dusanson: teraz je situacia ina, sme v eu
[11:50:35 AM] dusanson: to neni piesok, vobec nie
[11:50:36 AM] dirtyintunel: hej, takze mozme mat v pici
[11:50:55 AM] dusanson: politika neni o tom ze raz za 4 roky idem k urne a mam to vybavene
[11:50:56 AM] dirtyintunel: nie, tu nejde o to volit sdku.ja ich asi vobec volit nebudem
[11:51:03 AM] dirtyintunel: no jasne ze neni
[11:51:34 AM] dusanson: keby som mal v pici tak to ani nerieism
[11:51:43 AM] dirtyintunel: ale vtedy mozes prispiet tomu ze sa tam napriklad nedostane strana ktoru tvoje osobne postoje odmietaju
[11:53:14 AM] dusanson: ja v tomto proste nechcem byt chladny pragmatik ktory sa preda za male dobro ktore aj tak neni iste
[11:54:00 AM] dirtyintunel: hm, a ja to zas beriem tak, ze asi treba robit male kroky k tomu aby sa raz z toho maleho dobra stalo “velke dobro”
[11:54:23 AM] dirtyintunel: a myslim si ze pokial bude pri moci smer a sns tak sa to asi moc nestane
[11:55:15 AM] dusanson: ja to tak nemam
[11:55:21 AM] dirtyintunel: a hlavne mat nacionalisticku vladu popri madarskej nacionalistickej vlade mi vobec nepride ze je dobre.
[11:55:25 AM] dusanson: tak sa mozeme bavit teraz veky vekuce )
[11:56:12 AM] dusanson: male kroky sa robia v tretom sektore
[11:57:08 AM] dusanson: a to som este dost umierneni
[11:57:18 AM] dusanson: par kamosov anarchistov su uplne proti statu
[11:59:15 AM] dirtyintunel: no,dusan,aj ja mam kamosov anarchistov ale to beriem uz kusok ako extrem ktory neviem ako dlho by medzi ludmi fungoval.ja citim v poslednej dobe z ludi len zvysenu agresiu, zvysene dusno, celkovu nervozitu a deziluzie, skepsu, paranoju atd.anarchia by to mozno uvolnila na chvilu ale neviem ci vyriesila.
[12:00:27 PM] dusanson: ono je to dost zlozitejsie, pri anarchii nejde o ‘konecne riesenie’
[12:00:31 PM] dusanson: ale musim het teraz
[12:00:40 PM] dirtyintunel: ved vpoho, ale aj tak..
[12:01:40 PM] dirtyintunel: netusim, ci by to nieco vyriesilo. aj ked si myslim ze demokraticky system tak ako teraz funguje sa mi tiez nepaci:)
[12:03:16 PM] dirtyintunel: ale aj tak proste nedam a nedam a nedam hlas proste snsakom.a ani smeru.proste nedam, lebo su pre mna veci co robili nechutne, a ich prezentacia este horsia..

politicky subjekt – raz za styri roky odvolit a potom sa stiahnut naspat do pozicie observera
+
For liberals, not voting is equivalent to not acting, and political action is synonymous with voting.
+
a non-vote often just ends up as a vote for whoever can be bothered to turn up at the polls.
+
if over half the country refused to take part in the game, then at least the government can no longer claim that it represents the people.
+
‘voting against’ rather than for (to ja [zatial] nazyvam pragmatizmom)
+
more responsible to say ‘no’, than to remain silent
+
we should have a ‘none of the above’ option on the ballot.

ranciere – disagreement (1999) – chapter: democracy and consensus (o postdemokracii)
Much of this critique is directed at proponents of consensus democracy, to which Rancière has two main objections: first, that these societies relentlessly produce individuals and groups that take no part in the system of politics by consensus; and second, that democracies produce communities that are configured in such a way that individuals are counted according to ethnic or national identities rather than political potential.
~ holmes:
In Disagreement (published originally in 1995), he confronted the philosophy of government with the scandal of the political.1 Government fulfills an
ideal of order when it administers, manages, and tries to totally account for a population; but its reality is the police. The police keeps everyone in their place, imposes the calculations of value, apportions out the shares in society.
The political is an opposite process, and it is rare. It happens when outcasts stand up to say that the calculations are wrong, when they refuse the names and the places they’ve been given (we’re not a surplus), to claim both a share in society and another name, which will signify their particular
addition to universal equality (we’re a plus).
..
Equality is the groundless claim of a minority to have the rights of any other group, to be the demos, the people.
..
In an essay written just after Disagreement, Rancière explained that the political always involves a disidentification with some aspect of the existing community—for example, with the police state that expels the jobless or the paperless. At the same time, it requires an impossible identification with “the cause of the other.”2 This impossible identification suggests a new, subjective figure of political commitment.

?adoptovanie paperless cloveka? – @late 90s, with the public act, often performed in theaters, of parrainage or “god-parenting,” which meant taking a quasi-familial, quasi-legal responsibility for an undocumented individual;

Ivan Stefunko 1977 – zaujimavy lavicovy politolog
*77 vych. SK; Ľavičiar z Mladej demokratickej ľavice, ktorá vznikla na pôde SDĽ; viedol týždenník Slovo; od 2000 žije v BA; euractiv.sk.
Ľavica je pre mňa základná platforma pre ozajstnú slobodu a demokraciu. Len človek, ktorý je skutočne nezávislý, môže byť slobodný a nebude utláčaný.
Žil som s rodičmi v Alžírsku a dva roky som strávil na francúzskej internátnej škole v hlavnom meste, kde som býval s viac ako 30 národnosťami – od Arabov, cez černochov, až po Vietnamcov. Mám iný pohľad na konflikt civilizácií, ako ho pomenoval Huntington. Poznal som veľa európskych chrapúňov a mnoho dobrých Arabov, čo neznamená, že v každom národe nie je nejaká negatívna vlastnosť. Navyše, francúzske vzdelávanie kladie dôraz na spoločensko-vednú výchovu a už v 15 rokoch ma ovplyvnili Zola, Sartre a Camus. A človek, čo žije v rozvojom svete, musí vnímať, že trh nevyrieši všetko a že nie všetky „kapitalistické” vzťahy a kroky sú fajn.

SK bolo s cz v 1 state uz za rakuskeho cisarstva a potom za rak-uhorska.
Dual monarchia (867-18) sharovala armadu, fin a zahr. politiku.
R&U vytvorili alianciu s DE (1879) a IT (1882) aby vyvazili RU a FR mocnosti
1908 R&U anektovali bosnu&herz (okupovali ju od 1878 ako nasledok Great Balkan Crisis, ked R&U bolo neutralne ked sa rusko a turecko bili o srbsko, to nakoniec ziskalo nezavislost [Congress of Berlin]), ako spolocne vlastnictvo.
=> uvahy o CR+B&H ako tretej (slovanskej) casti monarchie, a Franz Ferdinand bol zastanca tohto trializmu, ktorym chcel obmedzit silu HU aristokracie => takze ho nemilovali v HU ani v srbsku (?!).
V 14 ho zavrazdili srbski nacionalisti v bosne (sarajevo).
Od 1878 [Congr of BLN] DE 5x zvysilo military costs, UK,RU,FR 3x, R&U ledva 2x.
1913 Srbsko ziskalo nove uzemia v Second Balkan War => obavy v R&U (ti stratili etnicky talianske uzemia).
Cast vlady chcela preventivnu vojnu so Srbskom, no 84yr vladca bol proti akymkolvek dobrodruzstvam.
No po atentate (vyuzili ako zamienku) vydala vlada backed by DE ally srbom July Ultimatum, ktore ratali ze srbi nikdy neakceptuju. => ti akceptovali 9, a iba cast 10teho, nasledne R&U vyhlasili vojnu => RU mobilizovala na podporu Srbska => domino reakcia dalsich protimobilizacii. IT najprv neutralna napriek aliancii, v 15 sa pridala na druhu stranu dufajuc ze ziska uzemia od byvalych spojencov.
konieckoncov bolo R&U vojenskym satelitom Nemecka

Tabery & Šimečka pre Respekt
nejdůležitější výsledek voleb: 3 momenty: definitivní konec mečiarismu na Slovensku, neúspěch politiky rozeštvávání a nacionalismu a to, že středopravé strany sice nijak výrazně, ale přece jen získaly větší podporu než levicový populismus.
+
ficov meciarizmus:
Agendu mečiarismu ve velké míře převzal premiér Fico, a to v podobě silného vůdcovského principu a státního paternalismu. Projevuje se to i ve stylu politiky, neustálého vytváření třídního nepřítele, chápání demokracie jako nadvlády většiny, chápání politiky jen a jen jako moci. Politický marketing byl v jeho případě podstatnější než obsah politiky a byl založený na silných propagandistických heslech o spravedlnosti a sociálním státě. U Fica to není mečiarismus v ryzí podobě – jako byly únosy, vraždy, omezení svobody slova. Mečiarismus byl v tomto rozsahu hrozný a navíc byl spojený s divokou privatizací, která přivedla zemi na pokraj státního bankrotu. Tuto podobu Ficova politika nemá, tu bych charakterizovala jako vláčnější.
+
left / right:
bez přehánění říkám, že současné politické teorie jsou málo použitelné.
levicové a pravicové dělení je ve 21. století nefunkční. Jeho charakteristiky jsou definované pro průmyslovou společnost. my jsme informační společností. dnes už nejde použít ani definici sociálního státu pro 20. století.
Politika se dnes dělí hlavně na hodnotových principech vztahu svobody a zodpovědnosti. Tedy především na formu kolektivních práv versus občanská práva. Na politiku státního paternalismu versus politiku individuální občanské odpovědnosti.
+
grecko:
půjčka je jen iluze záchrany.
je tady MMF, přes který si poradilo Lotyšsko.
den po volbách vláda zveřejnila deficit financí 6,7 % HDP, což je velmi vysoké číslo. A já se obávám, že je ještě vyšší.
Slovensko je v situaci, kdy se musíme ptát, za kolik procent nám někdo dá půjčku na půjčku jiné zemi.
+
inspiro pre CZ:
jsme udrželi daňovou reformu. A musíme sice trochu opravit druhý pilíř důchodové reformy, ale to dokážeme velmi rychle. Máme dobře udělanou reformu veřejné správy, i když se musí dotáhnout do konce úprava kompetencí a finanční decentralizace, ale to nastartování se osvědčilo a je udělané poměrně kvalitně. A máme také dobře rozběhnutou rodinnou politiku.
+
priority:
Pokud vezmeme jako prvořadou justici, co je na řadě potom?
Školství, protože hlavní problém Slovenska je dnes tvorba nových pracovních míst. Máme obrovskou míru nezaměstnanosti absolventů škol, ovšem ne proto, že by slovenské děti a studenti byli nešikovní, ale protože máme obrovskou propast mezi tím, jaké kvalifikace nabízejí školy a jaké kvalifikace jsou skutečně potřeba na trhu práce. Jinak nás ale bezpochyby čekají tři dominantní úkoly: spravedlnost, reforma soudnictví a odstraňování korupce, to je jeden balík. Pak nastartování ekonomiky a tvorba nových pracovních míst, takže hospodářská politika. Přirozeně navazuje reforma školství. To jsou základní priority.

Poul Gernes (he is in the Dokumenta in 2007?) and made the first comprehensive monograph on his work some years ago. He made his own school “eksperimantal art scool” in 1962. Poul Gernes was a hippie-ayatollah-painter and banned all galleries and decided only to paint public buildings and giant wall paintings in hospitals. He died in 1996. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Gernes

rough summary:
900-1300s NO (nastup christianity v 1000s-1100s)
late 1300s-1521 Kalmar Union = DK+NO+SW (maju si byt rovni, ale DK aj tak ruluje)
1521-1814 DK+NO vs SW (NO v tazkom zavese za DK; nastup protestantizmu v 1500s)
1814-1905 SW+NO, DK (NO ma len pomaly rozvoj)
od 1905 uz konecne neni vassal state (v 1814 bolo pol roka samostatne, a predtym do 1300s)
povodni domorodci (north+central NO) = Sámi people.
900 – po bitke pri Stavangeri Harald Fairhair unitol Vikingov = prvy NO kral, tvrda ruka, tak miestni odchadzaju kolonizovat okolie (IS, Greenland, Faroe, zalozili napriklad Dublin).
1000s-1100s – christianity replaces norse traditions.
Feudalism never really developed in Norway and Sweden, as it did in the rest of Europe.
1300s: Black Death kills 50-60% NO – velmi dlho sa z toho spamatavali.
1397: NO+DK kralovna Margaret si nasla Erika a v Kalmare bol korunovany za krala NO+DK+SW = Kalmar Union.
* 1521 SW vystupuje z Kalmar Union
* 1536 nastup protestantizmu, NO sa stava tributary of DK = vsetky prijmy cirkvi idu do CPH.
* 1600s SW ziskava niekolko provincii NO (vela vojen DK-NO vs SW)
* 1611 king Christian IV napadol SW, chce ho pripojit spet k DK, ale nepodarilo sa, SW has to pay vysoke war indemnity (Aelvsborg ransom), z penazi postavi Gluckstadt (ako rival Hamburgu), vyhorene Oslo->Christiania, Christianshavn (@DK, dnes tam aj Christiania), a dalsie mesta.
* 1801+07 Battles of CPH = UK napada CPH (lebo DK-NO je neutralne kvoli obchodu s FR[Napoleon] aj s UK) => UK kontroluje waterways bwn NO a DK. => 1813 DK-NO bankrotuje.
* 1814 Congress of Vienna + Trety of Kiel: DK-NO musi odovzdat NO Svedsku (DK si necha Iceland, Greenland, Faroe). 17.5. NO ale vyhlasuje samostatnost (ustava vychadza z US a FR), DK-NO korunny princ vyhlaseny za NO krala
1814 NO+DK sa rozpada (po 436yr) – kingdom’s royal, intellectual, administrative power was centred in CPH ~ “400-Year Night” by NO romantics => NO-SW war – RU a UK ich pritlacili do spolocnej unie – v nej ma NO pomaly ekon.rozvoj => 2/2 1800s *NO romantic nationalism.
Henrik Wergeland (1808-45) anarchista a la Kropotkin or Ragnar Frisch.
1848 protesty v EUR sa NO moc nedotkli – burzoazia moc mala, centralnu moc ma aristokracia. ale Marcus Thrane (!!) utopian socialist – labour society of 20000 (incl. Ibsen) for changing social structure -> revolt -> crushed (po zalari odisiel do USA). Thrane 1851: Proudhon is “with no doubt greatest genius of our time”.
In 1850 the 22yr Ibsen used the play “Catilina” to promote the anarchist ideal about fairness and freedom without violence, investigated in a societal context, universally and individually, probably inspirated by Proudhon.
1905 NO peacefully samostatne (po 586yr, thx to Christian Michelsen shipping magnate + NO prime minister) – v referende ludia za kralovstvo.
WW1 NO neutral.
WW2 NO neutral, ale surprise attack z DE (NO had 4th largest merchant marine fleet in world & heavy water plant – DE ho potrebuju pre nuclear program – ten neskor sabotaged by NO resistance), ti instalovali kvazi protektorat (Vidkun Quisling je babkovy premier), kral a vlada vysiela radiom z Londyna a podporuje clandestine attacks against Nazis in NO.
Price control and rationing of housing and cars continued as long as until 1960.
1969 Philips objavili petroleum loziska na zapad od NO, 1973 stat zaklada Statoil, vela investicii a net income az od early 1980s.
Late 90s – zahr.dlh splateny, a NO si robi sovereign wealth fund, od 90s divisive question in politics = kolko oil penazi ma stat minut a kolko usetrit.

V krajine sa squatterská tradícia rozšírila v 80. rokoch počas vypuknutia akútnej krízy na realitnom trhu.
v 6/10 boli lokalne (alebo to su general?) volby
The left-liberal D66, right-liberal VVD (Mark Rutte 8 eb* 67 aq), and right-wing parties PVV (Geert Wilders 13 cib 63 vi) and [nationalist] TON (Rita Verdonk) all did well.
In the two communities where the PVV participated it scored well becoming the largest party in Almere and the second largest in The Hague. It was the first local election the PVV has ever contested.
christian democratic CDA faired poorly
social democratic PvdA did extremely bad
The socialist SP also suffered losses.
v 6/10 dostal vo vseob volbach VVD o kreslo viac ako PvdA. krestania prepadli, PVV ziskala vela.
VVD:
Issues rather than charisma. VVD even made the deliberate decision of running a campaign that didn’t show Rutte’s face.
To draw attention away from its uncharismatic leader, the VVD focused on issues such as safety, roads, taxes for hard working citizens, and grappling with the soaring budget deficit.
Rutte, after being a human resources manager at Unilever and a deputy minister, first of social affairs and later of education, he ran for leadership of the VVD in 2006. He narrowly and unexpectedly defeated his adversary, Rita Verdonk, the popular but controversial minister of immigration.
PVV, report polit.teoretikov v 2010:
“new radical right” () – not an extreme right-wing party, but contained some radical right-wing elements. party’s pro-Israel stance shows that it is not neo-Nazi. It tends however towards a national democratic ideology. povodne tam mali verziu ze je “extreme right-wing grouping and a threat to social cohesion and democracy”.
* Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), a centre-right Christian Democratic party. It holds to the principle that government activity should supplement but not supplant communal action by citizens. The CDA puts its philosophy between the “individualism” of the VVD and the “statism” of the PvdA.
* The Labour Party (PvdA), a social democratic, centre-left Labour party. Its programme is based on greater social, political, and economic equality for all citizens.
* The Party for Freedom (PVV), an anti-Islam nationalist-conservative party founded and dominated by Geert Wilders, formerly of the VVD. Its philosophy is based on free market economics and opposition to immigration and European integration.
* The Socialist Party (SP), in its first years a radical socialist/communist party, a Maoist split from the Communist Party Netherlands, is now a more mainstream socialist party, left from the PvdA on economic issues but at the same time taking more conservative positions on issues like integration and national identity than the PvdA.
* The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), a conservative liberal party. It attaches great importance to private enterprise and the freedom of the individual in political, social, and economic affairs.
* Democrats 66 (D66), a social-liberal radical party. The party supports liberal policies on abortion and euthanasia and reform of the welfare state. The party is left-wing on immigration, environment and foreign policy.
* Green Left (GroenLinks) combines, as its name implies green environmentalist ideals with left-wing ideals. The party is also strongly in favour of the multicultural society.
* Christian Union (ChristenUnie), a Christian-democratic party made up by mostly orthodox Protestant Christians, with conservative stances on abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage. In other areas the party is considered centre-left, for instance on immigration, welfare state and environment.
* The Party for the Animals is a single-issue animal rights party with natural affinity for environmental issues. In general, the party is considered left of the centre.
* The Political Reformed Party (SGP), the most orthodox Protestant party with conservative policies: government is only to serve God. It is a testimonial party. Only in 2006 and after heavy political pressure were women allowed to be members of this party.
* Proud of the Netherlands (Trots op Nederland), the political movement associated with independent parliamentarian and former government
minister of the VVD, Rita Verdonk. It takes a patriotic, populist stand on most political issues.
The first Muslims who settled in the Netherlands were Indonesians who fled from its bloody war of Independence @ 19th c.
imigr vlna @ 60s-1973 – NL oficialne nabera pracovnu silu – najma MOR a TR, ti potom do krajiny prinasaju rodiny via family reunification laws.
A number of Surinamese Muslims came to the Netherlands before and after the independence of Suriname in 1975.
In 80s and especially since 90s, Muslims have also come to the Netherlands as refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from Bosnia, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan
Dnes immigr najma via marriage migration & family reunification laws.
In 2005?3 NL passed immigration laws which force future immigrants and their prospective Dutch partners to abide by very strict requirements. Immigrants must pass tests showing knowledge of Dutch in their home countries. The Dutch partner must be at least 21 years old and prove income of at least 120% minimum wage. These strict laws have caused many Dutch interested in marrying people from other countries to move to Belgium for a temporary period, in what has been called “The Belgian Route”. => od 03 silne klesol priliv TR a MOR.
about 400 mosques in the Netherlands, with about 200 Turkish mosques, 140 Moroccan mosques and 50 Surinamese.
45 Islamic elementary schools, and two high schools.

group is influenced by the ideology of Takfir wal-Hijra.
Redouan al-Issar, also known as “The Syrian” is the suspected spiritual leader of the group.
Most media attention is attracted by Mohammed Bouyeri, sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering van Gogh (2004) and by Samir Azzouz, suspected of planning terrorist attacks on the Dutch parliament and several strategic targets such as the national airport and a nuclear reactor.
Group is also suspected of planning to kill several members of government and parliament.
Bouyeri 78, al-Issar 55?65, ostatni 20-somethings
In 2006 Minister of Justice Piet Hein Donner (christ dem) provoked an outcry when he suggested the Netherlands might accept Sharia law in a constitutional manner. “It is a sure certainty for me: if two thirds of all Netherlanders tomorrow would want to introduce Sharia, then this possibility must exist. Could you block this legally? It would also be a scandal to say ‘this isn’t allowed! The majority counts. That is the essence of democracy.” The statements were categorically refused by parties across the political spectrum, as well as by one Muslim leader.

rotterdam is quite industrial, all centre was bombed by
nazis (to make NL surrender, which they did afterwards).
more than half the city are immigrants (from surinam,
turkey, morocco, antiles), 1/4 of city is muslim,
including the mayor who is moroccan and practising believer.
people are nonstop fluctuating, 80% flats in the centre
are rented.
politically, people are divided between social democrats
and right-wing fortuyn’s populists, half-half. although
socdemocrats won the elections only by 600 votes earlier
this year, and mayor had to order to recount the results
two times. and fortuynes are growing.
food quite horrible. everything is fried (like chinese noodles
with carrot in the small fried squares), i guess ice cream too.
fast food, and sweet pee as a drink.

consists of seven neighbourhoods, the pre-war areas Oud-Charlois, Tarwewijk, Heijplaat and Carnisse, and the post-war neighborhoods Pendrecht, Zuidwijk and Wielewaal.
Wielewaal is unique in Rdam, built for the people who lost their homes due to the German bombardment of the city centre in 1940. Built as a temporary housing project, like several others housing projects such as the Brabantsedorp, it is the last one remaining. Local community prevented the demolition. It holds about 366 houses, one level, with gardens in front and back. Nowadays it resambles a holiday resort, with asfalt roads, no road signs, lots of green spaces inbetween, sport facilities and all quiet. [cosi ako zlin? :) ]

Reich
youth can be the subject for a good fiction film. In his youth he was a charismatic leader, a young doctor in the revolu- tionary movement in Germany, who tried to introduce sex and love into the revolutionary movement and keep the movement alive. But what happened to Reich actually: he started the Sexpol movement in Germany; in 1930 they had about 30,000 members and organized lec- tures all over Germany. Reich’s ideal was that the Communist Party should organize youth around dance-halls, not to try to get young peo- ple to dull political lectures-to find young peo- ple where they really are. I even remember reading about young Nazis, members of the Hitlerjugend, coming to hear Reich and leaving the Nazi Party after getting a deeper understanding of their own inner troubles, their rea- sons for being politically active. I have heard from our ambassador in Paris-he attended Reich’s lectures when he was a student in Prague in 1934-that there were thousands of students just all over the hall, sitting on windowsills and in the staircases, like Columbia in April ’68, or Berkeley; and he was a kind of prophet of a new time, an affirmative culture-some kind of new integrity between man and his social life.
What happened at the end of the Sex- pol movement was that Reich was thrown out of it. It was organized by the Communist Party; and what he was teaching was too much for them. First they banned his books from all Party bookstores; and then they organized a majority in the Sexpol movement and threw him out. It was just a few months before Hitler came to power, so it is not widely known. So you see first he was oppressed by people in his own movement. He was very devoted to the revolu- tion, but he realized that the revolution didn’t need him. And when Hitler came to power, his books were suppressed and then burned. And then it was repeated, in ’56 and ’57 by such a democratic government as the American one.
Reich was actually sent to prison for con- tempt of court. They chased him because of “illegal interstate sale of orgone accumulators”- devices that had not been scientifically proved. But then he didn’t appear before the court; he said “Science has to judge me, and not an agency for food and cosmetics that is connected with the interests of the cosmetics industry.” He was very angry, and had good reason to be. He got two years for contempt of court.

what was very important for me was to preserve the in- tegrity of every piece. So that means I didn’t mix into documentary shots with his patients; or there is stock footage of Reich and his col- laborators, and the commentary that is run over it is some sort of just interpretation of what people were talking about then. The film is very complicated; there is a lot of playing in the film; but I never played in the separate pieces, I kept them as separate blocs.
I thought for years about how Reich could be explained.
Reich says that contemporary human beings have re- actionary bodies-rigid bodies. And our charac- terological stiffness is rooted in muscular armor. Psychological armor equals muscular armor, on the biological level. And we are conditioned to be like that from our early months of life. So it seems that the task of changing people is much more complicated than it looks like if you just feel you can apply Marx’s theories and make a redistribution of wealth or abolish private prop- erty, and everything will be OK. That’s not true, because people are repeating-that’s what happened in the whole so-called socialist world today: it’s just one great repetition of all the rigidity of bourgeois society. So when I made my film Man Is Not a Bird I was trying to ex- plain that you can have global changes but peo- ple can still stay the same, unhappy or awkward or privately confused; and in all my other films I try to follow this line, and I came gradually to Reich, who really explained why we are un- able to change quickly. We are able to change, but not so quickly, and probably some people are unable to change at all.
Well, I will tell you that we got a recommendation from the International Evan- gelical jury in Berlin-composed of priests and people connected with the ecumenical move- ment-and they gave a recommendation for the film to be seen and discussed on the subject of the “importance of eroticism, sexuality and love for political freedom.” So it seems that people understand that the main topic of the film is not sexuality but human personal happiness con- nected with political freedom, which means men in the social environment. Generally reactions in Europe were more political than sexual, to the effect that “sex is not so important in the film.” (In fact, that’s not true.) But it seems that people are getting the message that the main thing in sexual repression or sexual freedom is actually the political content of human personal freedom
In Yugoslavia we got in trouble very quickly when we came back from Cannes [where the film won the grand prize]. A screening was organized by people hostile to the film-they got about 400 people, mainly older people, some of them connected with some sort of preservation of traditions, that means people who are taking care of monuments and graveyards and museums, plus old revolution- aries, so-called hard-liners who are now out of the main social activities and are on the margin of social life taking care of their memories of our glorious past-and they were mad. It was terrible. People just started shouting. It was an extremely unpleasant experience.
On what grounds were they angry?
Because Stalin was connected with sexuality! Stalin was connected with the phallus. And they are just completely unable to see any connection between political power and sexual potency; the sexual meaning of political power was completely strange to them, and they were completely sexually upset. They were sweating, trembling, a lot of physical signs: they were just showing complete physiological distress. But these reactions were expressed in very political terms: “politically unacceptable,” “ideologically wrong,” “attitude of the enemy,” this kind of political cliche were all activated against the film.
Have they banned the film?
They succeeded in stopping it, so far, on administrative grounds, although we have the necessary signatures on the censorship board. But they didn’t dare to send the police to take the film away from us; they don’t want to fight us in the courts. Meanwhile new censor regula- tions have been set up and a new board has come in, so we are tied up in all this legal procedures business.
The film contains some very satirical scenes against organized Communism-for instance that scene where the madman is banging his head against the wall and on the sound track is this hymn to the glorious Communist Party, “from which all our blessings flow,” and so on. Is the film attacked as being anti-Com- munist, and if so how do you reply?
D.M.: It’s interesting that the film was at- tacked on those grounds by a very tiny portion of Party members, and in fact not so much by Party members as by ex-Party members who were thrown out of the Party as Stalinists. It seems that for most people in the country it is clear that the film is not anti-Communist but anti-Stalinist.
J.M.: It’s also anti-Leninist, however.
D.M.: Oh, no, that’s not true. The film is dis- cussing some points in Leninism, or about Len- in, but the film is not anti-Lenin, in my opinion. Even some people in high Party positions told me the film is clearly anti-Stalinist, and the film is clearly against blocs, and the film is for inde- pendent communism or independent socialism. So it seems many people understood the film politically as an honest contribution to inner discussion in the communist movement. Now about Leninism. In the film you have direct quotations from Lenin in two places: one is where the awkward Russian figure-skating champion is trying to talk to the Yugoslavian revolutionary girl, and they have no other way to talk with each other but to whisper political ideas in a very tender way: so they speak about “what are the tasks of youth,” and this is an exact quotation from Lenin.
J.M.: And the other is the statement about the Appassionata Sonata and how it makes him want to treat people nicely and pat them on the head, when what is needed at this time is to hit them over the head.
D.M.: Yeah, because he believed that we must change people. Lenin was a true neurotic, a man torn by his wish to change people and the world, and his wish to help people. So I think to talk about Leninism in terms of a theoretical outcome of a deep wish to change-this is an effort to understand, both to criticize and to understand, but I don’t think it is just hostile if you are critical. And then if you remember the moment when the Russian says, “In prin- ciple we are against any violence,” and she touches him on the most important part of his, uh, revolutionary organism, which he is trying to forget-and then he hits her. So at the mo- ment he turns to pure violence. You remember what is the next shot? She looks at him, but he is not there any more: there is Stalin. Stalin crying. That’s a beautiful shot, and I took it [from a Russian feature]. Stalin watches the bench in the snow where Lenin used to sit, and he is crying. This is pure demagogy, and I loved this scene for its shallowness, this kind of kitsch quality, surrealist qualities. But I introduced it into the film at a moment connected with Lenin. Of course everything is distorted a little, or made into caricature, because the music that follows the skater Vladimir Ilyitch’s speech-he is a kind of positive hero, beautiful, an artist- not the real Lenin, he is kind of a marzipan rein- carnation-that music is of course not the Ap- passionata but some Hungarian gypsy music entitled “Like a Beautiful Dream”: low-level music, not Beethoven. So there is another shift in meaning between his speech and the music on the sound track. Then if you remember the scene that follows, Stalin is receiving a letter that is addressed to Lenin. So I think that Stalin is the worst possible reincarnation of Lenin- all forceful features of Lenin, all Lenin’s efforts to change things forcefully, they were reincarnated in Stalin. This is the part of Lenin’s revo- lutionary program that I can’t agree upon; be- cause forceful change can’t bring change: that’s I think very simple.
E.C.: Do you think that traditional “organ- ized communism” is inherently anti-sex? Can the anti-body, anti-sex attitude of the tradition- al left be escaped?
D.M.: I think it is not only communist or- ganization that has been anti-sex; it seems to me that all organization in the world-look at the churches, look at governments, look at the police, the army, everything is anti-sex; the es- sentially homosexual structure of the whole gov- ernment is completely hidden; we have only males in business, in politics, in the army and police-so all that is a pure continuation of boy- hood; this kind of homosexual male period is projected into the structure of the whole so- ciety, so women are completely outside of the image of any kind of meaningful social organization. They are kept just to medicine, teach- ing, and “humanitarian” cages, completely out of the main power structure. The only movements that were connected with the body were fascist movements: they were talking about blood, and earth, and body, but again in I think a different kind of homo- sexual overtones, and not in a fully heterosexual meaning. It seems to me that the sexual significance of movements and organizations is completely de- stroyed in our alienated style of living. And my idea was to build a movie that is a kind of interplay between organization and spontaneity. For it seems to me that the all-anarchism of, let’s say, the New American Cinema or the an- archism of the New Left, this kind of totally unorganized way in which people are now re- acting to power structures, is inefficient because it lacks organization; yet if it turns to organization it takes the same old forms, like the high- ly organized, militant, puritan, self-sacrificing groups, so this just perpetuates the old system of power and fighting power with power. And it seems to me that we have to fight power with spontaneity and humor, but in a more organized way than it is done. It seems to me that some future society which I believe in, a society organized on work and love without any politi- cal mediators-work, love, and communication, let’s say-must be a highly organized kind of society that has a lot of space for all kinds of spontaneous activities. In my film-I worked eight months on it in the editing room to get this kind of strong organization, yet trying to preserve all the spontaneity possible in the film. And I feel that’s the reason it is puzzling: peo- ple are not sure where I am leading them.
Actually the film is very traditionally struc- tured. There are the first three reels of docu- mentary introduction, and then we have this very slow dramatic exposition, then we have the conflict say in reels five and six, and those highly emotional things in reel eight-the plas- ter-caster scene, which is a kind of climactic scene; and then you have a melodramatic con- tinuation in reels nine and ten which in purely dramatic terms explain this conflict between personality and society: “You are able to love mankind but you are not able to love a human person.” (The women’s libbers are very happy with this scene, where she is hitting him trying to awaken him to real masculinity instead of this empty masculinity.) And then you have this kind of cathartic song at the end. So as you see the whole structure is very traditional: you are supposed to be relaxed for a few reels, then puzzled, then you have a build-up of the con- flict, then the big chase, and then you have catharsis! But this traditional organization is completely invisible in my film: there are a lot of other attractions, and they are done in this kind of open-structure way so that everybody is projecting his own thing into the film. I call it the “liberating trap”-an open structure that forces people to throw their own irrationalities into the film. There are so many things left un- answered, so many questions posed-you must answer them in order to be able to “survive,” to be able to follow the story, to go on. And there is not time enough left for thinking, just for projecting your own wrong ideas, your own misinterpretations, your own irrationalities into the film-but then to go on. At the end many people are very restless, puzzled, confused-but highly interested in the subject. They’re ready to come see the film again, to read more Reich, to ask me about all kinds of things.
I am very skeptical about systems, liv- ing in a country which is not in this big bloc of “freedom-loving” nations in NATO, and also is not in the big bloc of “freedom-loving” na- tions in the Warsaw Pact; in Yugoslavia we don’t see very many differences between life in America and Russia as far as big ideas are con- cerned: these big, beautiful, patriotic ideas that enable big countries to smash small countries and kill people in the name of humanity, or im- pose their own systems of values on others. So I think these big superpowers may have the same policy on the global level. On a practical level of course America is very different from Rus- sia-because in Russia each individual has his own happiness delivered to him by the govern- ment or Party, and here everybody has to fight for his own happiness in the market. But it seems to me the sets of illusions are very simi- lar, and the inflexibility of the two systems is very similar. Of course the American system is much more flexible in responding to the mar- ket, but politically many things that are against all economy are perpetuated. So more and more, all over the world, people feel that something must be done: systems that start from people spontaneously organizing themselves in some sort of meaningful groups, and then not alien- ating their power to some sort of more “repre- sentative” higher levels-just preserving their own communal power. I think the new means of communication that we have in the media, in this electronic world, enable us to live in our small ethnic groups, or very specific groups, yet being able to communicate all over the globe without the necessity of having this type of power structure to mediate in our names. I be- lieve in a world without states, a world without politicians, without these political structures rep- resenting alienated power.
R.S.: A kind of loosely structured anarchy?
D.M.: No, a kind of well organized anarchy! I think the failure of world communism to do anything meaningful is that it built some sort of very militant, Christian-style militancy of fighting for a paradise that will come for our grandchildren, and for them we must put our- selves through the fire; and this leads to terrible things, like millions of people put in concentra- tion camps by their own comrades, and many of them in the camps even believing that the camps were good for the system. You remem- ber that many people died shouting “Long live Stalin!” even when they were being killed on Stalin’s orders. This self-sacrificing revolution- ism is the same kind of religious, Judeo-Chris- tian kind of bullshit.
