Resumen
Los Derechos Humanos han sido por su intrínseca historicidad radicalmente problemáticos. Desde su creación, fueron expresión de un nuevo imaginario social de carácter revolucionario que rompió con la cosmovisión de la sociedad premoderna. Pero la misma historia ha evidenciado su insuficiencia teórica e incluso su perversión práctica, a la hora de alcanzar sus objetivos. «Toda sociedad en la cual la garantía de los derechos no esté asegurada ni la separación de poderes establecida no tiene Constitución» (Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano de 1789, art. 16). Hoy, vivimos una situación de fascismo social y de desigualdad tan inhumanos que se han convertido en una amenaza letal para la supervivencia de gran parte de la humanidad y también del ecosistema global que la posibilita. Es hora de crear un «nuevo orden ontológico revolucionario» desde el que garantizar la «verdad práctica», la legitimidad política y la plausibilidad histórica del constitucionalismo del futuro. Debemos comenzar por eliminar el racismo institucional y el sadismo administrativo con los que rechazamos a los inmigrantes en las fronteras de nuestra civilizada Europa.
Human rights have been, because of their intrinsic historicity, radically problematic. Since their creation, they have been the expression of a new social imaginary of a revolutionary nature that broke with the worldview of pre-modern society. But history itself has shown their theoretical insufficiency and even their practical perversion, when it comes to achieving their objectives. «Any society in which no provision is made for guaranteeing rights or for the separation of powers, has no Constitution» (Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, art. 16). Today, we live in a situation of social fascism and inequality so inhuman that they have become a lethal threat to the survival of a large part of humanity and also of the global ecosystem that makes it possible. It is time to create a «new revolutionary ontological order» from which to guarantee the «practical truth», political legitimacy and historical plausibility of the constitutionalism of the future. We must start by eliminating the institutional racism and administrative sadism with which we reject immigrants at the borders of our civilized Europe.
