The outrage expressed on the streets of Tahrir, Syntagma, Zuccotti or Catalunya is not just anger at injustice, but constituent passion, and runs counter to the atomization which imposes neoliberalism.
There is therefore no need to make a depoliticized reading movimien¬to and contemporary struggles to stay only in di¬mensión moral indignation. This results in a political rebellion: it is a pro-social justice, social change and democratization in an egalitarian sense indignation.
It is not a hopeless outrage. Not a stroke of anger frus¬trada no prospect of departure. Rather, it is an outrage that pushes hopeful mobilization and carries with it the desire to win. It is an outrage that is based on a collective confian¬za us ready to build another future.
