rebels, who spent decades depressed after the triumph of the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and both George Bush can not believe, at the start of the second decade of the century, the internet would become the new weapon wonderful revolutions throughout the world against the tyrannies of left and right.
In Iran, dominated by the ayatollahs and the lapping atomic Ahmajinedad Mahmud, internet enabled an insurgency that did not win, but was an early wake-up call and left the hope that eventually the religious leaders of the Shiite theocracy, puffed at Western power, fall into the beautiful and rich land overlooking ancient iron cassock.
In China, where Communist leaders were able to invent an even more savage capitalism, the capitalists and dreamed up by ideologues like Milton Friedman, the Internet and google have become the secret weapon for a popular rebellion that burns in the vast empire vibrant yellow. There is labor foremen militarized regime swollen million, while applying the cadences more frightening than the world has ever known capitalist, making poverty wages blush greedy multinational industrial world and seems to return to the times British Industrial Revolution as well described by Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist.
This 2011 has begun with a spectacular revolution Arab countries of northern Africa, where installed satraps for decades begin to tremble, while the popular uprising spreads like wildfire through the villages and oases of control, to the surprise of Western leaders complicit. Tunisia
gave the first example to overthrow the kleptocracy of Ben Ali thanks to the Revolution of jasmine and now in the streets of Egyptian cities such as Alexandria and Cairo, the experiment is repeated, with stagger Hosni Mubarak after thirty years of scheme and who dreams of putting his son as successor to the throne.
By late and insufficient, the octogenarian leader of the Egyptian mummy, with his hair dyed as Millionaire Ben Ali and many who do cosmetic surgery to look younger, out of his coffin to make the promises that politicians always do: to end poverty and provide employment and freedom to hambrieno people descended from the pharaohs.
But this Saturday, despite promises of Rais, have again hit the streets, managing to bypass the blocking of internet and mobile phones across the country. In unison, from every home, as in Tunisia, young and old, women and men, come together overwhelmed and tired of so many years of humiliation and empty promises, of such submission ancestral inoculated by religion medieval desert created to protect the sheiks, imams, princes, caliphs and a whole series of oligarchs who have mastered thanks to the terror of the secret police and stoning, hangings, beheadings and torture of dissidents.
tyrants tremble now led by Moroccan King Mohammed and his court of millionaires and the abusive Mohamed Gaddafi in Libya, as well as leaders suffered Algeria, where the boiler of the revolution awaits the moment to jump into the lonely and precarious corners of a country held in the nothingness of silence. All this we owe in part and thankfully the internet boom that reaches the world's humblest neighborhoods, where young people play old computers while communicating and access to information previously controlled by tyrants or religious leaders.
In India, China, Africa, Latin America, the Caucasian and Baltic countries, in all third world countries, the Internet is a window on the other. Ever, in the squalid slums of Calcutta and Varanasi, I saw those little websites where for pennies you can connect with the world as they move through the streets of the sacred cows and monkeys. The same is true in Latin America and Africa.
Youth Third World, even the poorest, have adopted the web as a weapon. The dominant, gain access to it, the handle to the astonished gaze wise grandparents, presidents for life, infallible leaders, presidents ubérrimos, heroic commanders, ayatollahs, imams, raises Egyptian sheikhs of Saudi Arabia, general secretary of Communist parties. And even Fidel and Raul Castro, the brothers gerontocrat dominating Cuba half a century, have been able to control the Internet to stop for the voice of the dissidents on the island.
