🚨🇦🇷 Enzo Maresca on Enzo Fernández: “He is a player from another club”.
“I don't think it's correct to talk about other players. I'm not going to say anything about players who are not with us”.
This is called aestheticization of politics.
The aestheticization of politics is a concept introduced by Walter Benjamin in his 1935 essay, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
He argued that fascism responds to the economic demands & problems of the masses by turning politics into a theatrical spectacle.
This gives people a false sense of expression while keeping property and power structures untouched.
The Core Mechanics of Aestheticized Politics Theatrical Spectacle are as under :
(a) Politics becomes a matter of grandiose parades, rallies, and media rituals rather than actual democratic power.Preserving Property: Regimes allow the working class to feel heard and unified, but protect existing class and economic property relations.
(b) Self-Alienation: People are reduced to viewing their own destruction and subjugation as high aesthetic pleasure.

Everyone remembers the attack on the Mumbai railway station on 26/11, the gunmen walking the platforms, more than fifty people killed. Almost nobody remembers the announcer whose voice sent hundreds of strangers running the other way while the bullets were still flying.
His name is Vishnu Dattaram Zende.
On the night of 26 November 2008, he was on duty in the announcer's cabin at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a raised glass room looking out over the platforms. It was near the end of his shift when he heard a loud blast and gunfire, and saw people running.
Two terrorists had walked into the busiest station in the country and begun shooting everyone in sight. At that station alone, they would kill more than fifty people.
From his cabin he could see the whole layout, and he understood something fast. Local trains were still pulling in, each one about to pour hundreds of passengers straight onto the platforms where the gunmen were standing.
He had a microphone that reached every platform. He decided to use it, even though it meant staying exactly where he was, in full view, instead of hiding.
He began making announcements, over and over, in Hindi and Marathi, telling people not to come to the main concourse, telling them to leave by the rear exits, warning them away from the guns.
Hundreds of people changed direction because of that voice and walked out of the station instead of into the bullets.
The terrorists worked out where the announcements were coming from. They came and stood almost directly below his cabin. One of them fired up toward him. He kept low, waited, and when he could, went back to the microphone.
He was an ordinary railway announcer on an ordinary shift. He had no weapon and no protection, just a mic and a clear view of what was coming. He stayed at his post and used the one tool he had to push strangers out of the path of the killers.
The men with the rifles are the names everyone remembers from that station. The voice that quietly saved hundreds of the people they came to kill belonged to Vishnu Zende.
