The human interdependence
Complementarity elite / people
States in building
Liberalism as practiced today, flirting with crime. Slavery it causes in poor countries, is worthy of workers abuse the nineteenth century. The monies embezzlement committed by elites and criminals to tax havens, anémient all human development .
But there is no question of falling into anti liberal excess. We are not advocating poverty, asceticism, the extinction of passions and equality at all costs. Embezzlement and liberal violence, have meaning. We know that men as manufacturers, these trends are driving required for the activity .
But if we want to avoid too much inconvenience, we must stop to overestimate the intelligence of the present ruling elites * . Instead, we should consider a little more awareness of people, such as democracy requires. And it would also stain to understand and disseminate the logic of our perfect substantive equality .

Consider an example
Physically, it is the people who now support the basic needs of humanity. It is he who is responsible for food, water, energy, maintenance, habitat . Without this popular world elite should immediately return to the primitive survival. Man, that is the universe in miniature. man and the world are interdependent. man is the guarantor of the balance of creation . Hampate Ba . Conversely, without the energy and the manager of the elite ability, humanity would be stationary . Without their creativity and analytical skills, the company could evolve. The two groups are totally interdependent.
SYMBIOSIS IS natural
Unconscious but a natural symbiosis exists beyond appearances . This complementarity leads us to believe that without the work of the two components, humanity can not progress . As a result, the work of the two components is essential to change humanity.
The essential concept is a first . It has no value scale .
If two things are necessary to constitute a third, the existence of one is as valuable as the existence of the other. Even if they are qualitatively or quantitatively different .
The existence of the elite and the existence of the people therefore have exactly the same size, the same absolute value for the building of humanity. But insidiously (or rather instinctively ), discriminant values of elite at the expense of the people.
Respect instead of contempt
Eiffel could not build its own tower that bears his name . And yet, that we forget to say that this is a collective work, reinforces in our consciousness, a sense of personal achievement . It also reinforces the devaluation of manual labor .
The inter- individual differences in potential are essential to develop the company . These differences are necessary. What is indecent by cons is the monstrous inequality of treatment caused by liberal society . This is the huge differences in the valuation assigned to each task . This is the growing non -compliance with work done by the people . In the vast majority of contemporary mass media are mostly about the activity and life of the elite. And that, in total disregard of democracy.
Having experienced both extremes, it is perhaps now time to break with the dictatorship of the elite as with the proletariat . May be time to realize our fundamental interdependence .
