„OMULUI NOU” – TEMA SACRIFICIULUI<br />

Ionuţ ISAC<br />

Reflections on the Making of ‚New’ Mankind – The Sacrifice<br />

Abstract. The soci<strong>al</strong> life in post-communist societies often reve<strong>al</strong>s<br />

strong reminiscences of the past. Thus, when un<strong>de</strong>r communism, the people<br />

were manipulated to believe that their supreme scope in life was the sacrifice<br />

for the best of <strong>al</strong>l of them, no critic<strong>al</strong> judgment <strong>al</strong>lowed. The direction to be<br />

followed was indicated by the ruling party and the ‘comra<strong>de</strong>s’ lea<strong>de</strong>rs. Now,<br />

it is surprising that, even <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s after the f<strong>al</strong>ling of communism, a<br />

significant part of the individu<strong>al</strong>s educated and grown-up in the middle of<br />

tot<strong>al</strong>itarian régimes, still nurture nost<strong>al</strong>gic feelings for the years when they<br />

had to ‘give their best’ for the progress of society (i.e. to perform the<br />

sacrifici<strong>al</strong> behavior in favor of the red bourgeoisie manipulating them). This<br />

strange contradiction still makes the subject of many <strong>de</strong>bates as, for instance,<br />

is discussed in the following article.<br />

Key words: post-communism, sacrifice, mythology, manipulation,<br />

Popper, criticism.<br />

Una din temele favorite <strong>al</strong>e discursului politic în epoca<br />

„soci<strong>al</strong>ismului multilater<strong>al</strong> <strong>de</strong>zvoltat” din România era aceea a făuririi<br />

„omului nou” (o i<strong>de</strong>e cu evi<strong>de</strong>ntă tentă utopică), sursă şi garant <strong>al</strong><br />

edificării cu succes pe tărâm autohton a proiectului celei mai bune şi<br />

mai drepte orânduiri soci<strong>al</strong>e pe care a cunoscut-o vreodată umanitatea.<br />

Asumarea acestei misiuni extraordinare era, însă, minată <strong>de</strong> tot<br />

felul <strong>de</strong> dificultăţi şi contradicţii fundament<strong>al</strong>e, pe care diriguitorii<br />

comunişti le minim<strong>al</strong>izau în discursuri triumf<strong>al</strong>iste menite să<br />

însufleţească masele <strong>de</strong> oameni ai muncii spre a se „înnoi”, aşa cum le<br />

cereau documentele <strong>de</strong> partid.<br />
