TODO "ISMO" É ÓPIO DO POVO |

In
this three works I try to demonstrate that, independently of the political
system, usually, the ideologies have just been used to control the human
being through dogmas that are based on philosophical concepts which are
not practiced by the holders of the power. The result is the poverty of
great part of the populations and the political control through the violence
and fear. In practice, so much the capitalism, as the socialism and the communism (which, in my opinion, still was not put in practice, since what happens in the Soviet Union is not the dictatorship of the proletariat, but the dictatorship above the proletariat), has just been used to control the purposes of the people according to the will of the holders of the power. Work I - The dictatorship imposed to the population of El Salvador, sustained economically and militarily by the United States, provokes the same results of the dictatorships sustained by the Soviet Union. In the inferior part of the work the USA flag has included, in high relief, the word "EL SALVADOR" (the savior) in allusion so much to the country's name where occur the shown atrocities, as to the American prepotency that considers itself "the savior" of the western world. Read to biblie text that is written in the work Work II - The invasion of Poland by the Soviet troops massacres the movement "Solidarnosc", that there was spread by the country becoming the possibility of obtaining freedom and social improvements. Read to biblie text that is written in the work Work III - Images that approach the social and political situation of Brazil, represent the result provided by the current "ism" in the country. In the inferior part of the work there is the stylization of the Brazilian flag with the word freedom, in relief, that represents the larger people's longing of the moment.
