What are you talking about? (4 - 4)

No one dared to the people, as did Abu Al-Qasim Al-Shabi:
You are a stupid soul, you hate light * and you spend the ages on a smooth night
No cursing:
You are not dead, lethargic, nor alive * so that he walks, but is an object that is not understood.
And do not make fun of him:
Worship "yesterday" and reminisce the images of the past. The old man has commemorated his youth.
I do not face him with such anger:
My God! Do you feel? Do you feel? * Do you complain? Do you speak?

Of course, all this is a cry of loving pain that calls upon His beloved to return to adulthood:
I wish the strength of the hurricanes if I was banged * I call on you to breathe!
But would the poet have written these verses if he had not hidden the short viewing time from what is clear to us today ?!

**

His imagination, on the eve of his departure from the world, enabled a magical apparatus to display in three hours the history of his country of three thousand years, with a look at the next century, providing him with the stories of the "elite" of the conquests and struggle of kingdoms and kings.

For two hours fifty minutes, he will only follow the stories of human beings, the vast majority of whom are citizens and slaves sold as livestock are sold.

Suddenly in the last ten minutes - and al-Shababi is about to call for a halt to the torture session - things are changing dramatically and rapidly:
1846: Abolition of slavery and the end of tens of centuries of slavery.
1924: The birth of the first independent trade union organization and the start of the battle for social justice.
- 1930: The emergence of the book "Our Woman in the Sharia and Society" and the beginning of preparing for the liberation of "Half of Heaven."
1956: Declaration of independence and physical exodus from the colonizer.
- 1957: The entry into force of the Personal Status Code comes to an end, and the end of ages of arbitrariness of the law against man / woman.
1977: The birth of the first independent organization to defend human rights and launch the battle for rights for all.
- 2011: The masses leaving in Tunisia and abroad to destroy the fortresses of centuries of tyranny, its motto is in response to the most famous house for the young man.
- 2014: Adoption of the first constitution not granted by anyone, emanating from the people, to guarantee their dignity, freedoms, and interests.

In this fairy tale, the young man can call the last breath with a smile of contentment, and express the last moments of consciousness a blame for a poet who has done another injustice, calling on the poor people not to descend upon them while dying thirst. Unlike Abu Firas al-Hamdani, all the wounds of al-Shabi's time has revenged for him. She sings: Now I am fed! Find the sky with all its relief.

Where did the young man mistake his unjust rule? It is true that he could not respect human beings who, from the beginning of history, controlled the invaders of the outside and the inside, as well as the shepherds. They were not called - for centuries - "the parish" exceeded, but rather because they were like cattle have no authority over their bodies, they have no ability to enjoy the wealth they create, they have no regard nor value. Their greatest ambition is to persuade the sultans jurists of the guardians not to overpay them by slaughter and shearing wool, and to prevent the last drops of udder milk from their young.

Good, but didn't all the changes - which turned the scene upside down - come out of this crucifixion people? This was done in a way that would have admired our poet, who is full of sanctifying nature. He looked like a tree and saw only dry trunk, cracked bark, and bare branches, unaware of the silent movement of the sap inside the trunk, and not paying attention to the buds that appeared in respect of the branches. Good luck in spring.

Under the cover of anger and patience with the sphinx, the people of the parishes dreamed and planned, and the regiment threw after the regiment the best of those in it to make their way, but in what direction?

It suffices to return to our unfulfilled dreams, to our aborted projects, to the hopes that we overcome all the sufferings, to our continuous struggles, so that it becomes clear to us that his destination was the opposite situation, which I call the people of citizens.

All the characteristics of this people are included in these dreams, hopes, struggles and projects, as follows:
The people of the citizens are the people who own the state and do not own it.
- A people that managed to impose the utmost equality - in the distribution of wealth, power and consideration - on elites whose nails and tails were trimmed.
A people whose great people have learned to manage their pluralism peacefully, so that none of them exercise any tutelage or exclusion from other components.
A people whose great people are jealous are the most jealous of their individual and collective rights, and are disciplined with the utmost discipline in carrying out duties that are automatically compatible with these rights.

- A people who exercises most of its freedom, which is the first societal value as understood by a responsible car owner, who does not accept his right to travel with his car whenever he wants, with whomever he wants, but he wills, but he adheres to the traffic law, fastening the belt, insurance, and periodic technical examination, and all these controls aim That the freedom of his movement not be indifferent to him and a curse against others.

A people whose bulk - by providing the cost of political and social conflicts - was able to devote themselves to creating material, knowledge, aesthetic, and moral wealth.
A people whose great members have embraced respect for their minorities and respect for other peoples, and even respect for the dignity and rights of non-human organisms, and it has become clear - more than any period of history - the interconnected destiny of the peoples of humanity between them and the destiny of humanity itself with the fate of what we call nature.

It is evident that the people of the parishes are the ones who bear the opposite characteristics; it is the people who have a state, who live on the crumbs of wealth, power and consideration given to him by the "elite", who evades his duties because he has no rights, and who understands freedom as chaos ... etc. The question is: How can the people of citizens come out of the mercy of such a people? And when were mice born cats?

It is incomprehensible if we do not take into account the great characteristic that divine wisdom has added to beings, whether they are from humans, from animals or from trees; it is what scientists call biological contrast, that is, there is no tree that resembles a tree, nor a cat that resembles a cat, nor a twin Mankind is like a twin percent. There is always variation, sometimes the naked eye sees it, and sometimes only the microscope detects it, or the response to changing ocean.

What is the reason for this phenomenon? It is the first property that enables survival and development. Imagine the catastrophe if the entire people were a set of transcription copies of the first human. Would it not be extinct if it were attacked by bacteria that transcription has no ability to resist, and that the natural immunity of a handful of people - in light of biological variation - is enough to preserve some to regenerate offspring.

Thus you will find necessity in the mass of thousands of corrupt rulers as a ruler such as Omar Al-Faruq or Omar Bin Al-Aziz, as you will find in a subservient society resentful a handful of revolutionaries lifting arms, a few reformers calling for change, and a small number of those who respond to the call. They are the human beings in whom oppression, injustice, humiliation, and misinformation were born, unlike the positions and behaviors that he generated in the majority, and they are the ones who will form what I call the “Harak people”, which is the link between the “people of the subjects” and the “people of the citizens”.

What are the characteristics of the "people / movement" and how does it play its role in the historical development of the real people? If we go back to history, whether it comes to the war against colonialism or major social conflicts under tyranny, if we count how many Tunisians came out in the end of 2010 or the Egyptians in early 2011 to fight the dictatorship, if we consider participation in free elections an indication of the degree of citizenship, we will always find The same phenomenon: "The Harak people" is a minority that weighs only what yeast weighs in dough, but it is the active minority that makes history.

The people of the movement, then, is the living part of the “people of the subjects”, that is, the vanguard entrusted with opening the path of liberation before it; but it is also in an absolute break with this people, and it has been cut off with its accustomed resettlement, humiliation and fear, and sometimes from its strange attachment to the restrictions that constrained it “Elite”.

Nothing is more difficult than engaging the 'Harak people' in a fierce war with this 'elite', and also in conflict with part of its most alienated natural incubator. Thus, every reformer finds himself in the stage of "the past that is not dead and the future is not yet born," as the Italian thinker Gramsci says. It is located between a rock and a hard place; if he cries out in the people: Wake up all of you - makers and craftsmen - from a major deception! We deceive him as the deceiver and represent the deceiver.

How is this "elite" historically imposed on citizens subject to the humiliation of being indifferent, and on the citizens dangers of the revolution? It throws its roots in the depths of injustice, which Al-Mutawabi says, and in the disposal of this strong instinct for fierce competition - within and between human societies - on wealth, power and consideration, in light of the scarcity of these fundamentals or the difficulty of sharing them fairly.

They are structurally two classes; the oldest of them is the class of invaders who imposed with the sword's limit their control over the bulk of wealth, power and consideration, and the grandchildren inherited - without effort except the birth effort - all that stole their grandparents. Above it is a constantly growing class whose members come from the same part of the “Harak people”, and the way has longed for them and they have been tempted by easy solutions, and they are the ones whom Freud said: “You do not fight an enemy for a long time unless you become like him.”

Habib Bourguiba took a model; he was born from a poor family in a poor village, and when he was in charge, he rushed to associate with the oldest bourgeois families, adopting their customs and describing the people who brought him to power as individual dust. And when his closest confidant betrayed him - to die alone, imprisoned for thirteen years without trial - he was not accompanied by his final resting place, the "elite", but "the oppressor" and some of his opponents like me, because he - despite mistakes and sins - was the man of deficient independence, education for all, and the magazine of personal status.

There is no surprise in the hidden hatred shown to me by this "elite", and its use of the poorest means to discredit the people, which is a great success in it by having all the means of misinformation. It had nothing to do with my intellectual tendencies or my political alliances, for all of them were negotiable and deals as I always did - and still are - with the newcomers.

Rather, the reason was its understanding of the message that my words, actions, and even my clothes were exuding: I do not want to imitate you, I do not want to appease you, I do not want to join you, I do not want to be one of you; All of you - and you with us - the people / the elite: the people of the citizens.

By examining a vague concept, many play on its ambiguity; it becomes clear that the real people have nothing to do with the people who are crowning the “elite” with the crown of thorns, nor with the people who are the populists directing the laurel wreath, and it also has nothing to do with the imaginary image that legislators made for it and the judges shadow.

Note that the common denominator between these magical visions is that the people as a principle are a source of legitimacy, or as a human group a homogeneous, complete and stable entity; and that the people are a pluralistic and dynamic being driven by contradictions and conflicts between all its components.

What is clear is that the real people are a project that is not given, that it is a constant boiling, continuous formation, and an irreversible historical dynamic, represented by the best representation of the “Harak people” that roars in the squares of Beirut, Baghdad, Algeria and Khartoum, and before in the squares of Tunisia, Tripoli, Sana'a and Cairo, and tomorrow in How many other capitals? The goal is more humane and more effective Arab people, the citizens of which are overwhelming majority, on the right of the remains of the subjects, and on the left are the remains of elites. And at night, it must be clear.
