July 27, 2007 the PRC Communist Party, the Party of Italian Communists, the Greens and the Democratic Left formed the Construction of Knowledge.
knowledge in the society of globalization, it assumes a central role due to multiple and contradictory demands of this phase of capitalism. It is essential to the current extraordinary acceleration in labor productivity, for processes of market expansion up to the living, and the domain for the acquisition of an increasing amount of intelligence in production processes. At the same time the diffusion of knowledge extends and generalizes better tools for understanding reality. Capitalism today is a growing need for intellectual resources, this creates new contradictions, expropriating the subject of knowledge that allow the increase of knowledge in the production and distribution, and submit them to forms of exploitation and job insecurity and life forever more intense. The same system of education of the young and artistic by nature and vocation disinterested, are dispossessed of their social function and sucked into the market at a much slower process, but that seems inevitable, since the World Trade Organization has decided that such property was not exempt from the market, since they constitute a "deal "a lot at stake. On the contrary we believe that knowledge belongs to that set of common goods that can not be alienated from the market, universal rights and basic goods to which each person must be able to access. We are aware of the scope of the challenge for the transformation of the knowledge economy in the "knowledge society", in which the maximum chance of freedom and personal expression can be built a society marked by peace, respect and appreciation of differences, the reappropriation of time and space of life, from science and social control over productive and reproductive processes. Precisely because the scope of this challenge, we think it is essential to the construction of a point of view of the "left" strong and able to attract now disintegrated and subaltern subjectivity of the consumer society, in combination authoritative critique of neoliberalism as the dominant model the current phase of capitalism. To create common sense on these issues, we think it should be joint action of all those subjectivity, party organizations, union membership in various capacities, which in recent years have developed a resistance and a critique of neoliberalism, which, while exerting a strong dominance in advanced societies has seen the emergence of movements that have challenged many fundamental ways. This is to give life to a real site that builds an effective opportunity to counter the destructive processes of the environment, civil society and even their life. A workshop, open to all those entities organized or individual wishing to start a journey together, which can meet different cultures and origins, available at an equal comparison, for the construction of a common area, able to offer an alternative to the liberal policies and rethink the future as the prospect of liberation and equality in diversity for all and everyone.
