THE REVOLUTION OF THE OUTRAGED AND THE RIGHT TO COMMUNICATE


Decades of financial imbalances have passed since the distant time of the crash of 1929. It was necessary that the United States, one of the strongest economies of the globe is affected and the European region undergoes a crisis of confidence because their leaders made decisions inappropriate to the birth of a worldwide movement of indignation, which calls for justice and reduction of social inequality. Some analysts suggest that passenger movement and not envision that this is the beginning of a profound global transformation. What initiates the movement is opposition to Bush's position, who favored the wealthy with lower taxes and ventured to make the first war in the Middle East credit, in retaliation to attacks by Osama Bin Laden on the Twin Towers in the financial heart of America. Most do not want the situation persists, they want the rich to pay the cost based on income and wish to return after the war and his, home. Something similar happens in European countries, with different shades of course. The Germans do not understand because they, along with the French, they have to pay the price of Greek paradise. The brutal economic adjustment measures in that nation have been a necessary and painful. Spain with more than five million unemployed, Portugal and Ireland in trouble drawing a bleak picture for youth and the elderly. In Latin America the schools in Chile are carrying out a protest movement, for months, for providing free education and quality demanded. 
What could make this regional movement almost become a world revolution? People for centuries have fought to the death for his beliefs and his desire to exist, but to do so in freedom, respect for certain rights common to all members of humanity. The extent of these rights conception of the world revolution triggered outraged. The right to a name, an identity, the right to be free, right to food and housing, freedom of expression are some of the most basic rights. But where is the right to communicate? Why should we pay for citizens to communicate? 
 In the midst of the technological revolution of mobile phones and Internet tablets seem absurd concept. But it is not. We have the right to communicate. Initially at least, should have a free telephone minutes a day and free internet. The revolutions in the rights struggle have begun well, rethinking things that we believe should be a way and may actually be another. The identity should not mean just a name but an email, a phone number. Not only the right to eat but to have the right to exercise my freedom of assembly and association through communication. Social networks have shown, with the help of twitter, you can become a powerful tool to fight for the rights and confront the dictatorship. The richness comes from niches that have not been discovered, some asymmetry that is used by a visionary, exploitation and creates his fortune. That may be fine to some extent, but there should not be perpetuating these circumstances. There comes a time when all the others, the majority, must lay claim to certain rights. Common to all citizens of the globe is our right to communicate. From there we organize to fight for new rights. The statement is a substantial right to us as human beings, we differ from other species because we can remember. Do not forget then, that just as when you fought against slavery, universal suffrage, the rights of women, has reached this point in history where we must leave our homes and mass protest peacefully. Let us go forth not only the streets but we flood the Internet with virtual spaces on us the indignant protests.
