The State

The circumstances that present themselves in our daily lives often put us in the position of the ostrich who, when faced with danger, prefers to bury its head in the ground rather than face it. In this vein, it's common to hear many citizens (even the most enlightened academics) say: 'I don't like politics - that's why they don't give their opinion. They seem to be right, but that's not all. This is the position we want to reflect on. The country needs cadres, trained citizens with solid, mature knowledge, capable of facing up to external threats and challenges, especially from more developed countries (not vulnerable men who surrender in confrontation with the ideologies of the world's great powers). This attitude does not free us from external political attacks, whose bosses want to dominate the space - the states. The ideal is to avoid neo-colonialism, i.e. to be prepared to face it, to look at the facts objectively, i.e. to rise to the occasion. When someone says they don't like politics, unconsciously they are already playing politics, because what they want is to find people of their style who support their opinions.
