Alibeaj's lesson of exceptions: The persecuted persecutes you

Alfred Lela

Enkelejd Alibeaj's solo decision to exclude four colleagues from the DP parliamentary group is controversial and counterproductive. It is a Bolshevik act committed by a Menshevik. It is a cry that comes from the depths of time and gives us the image (parable) of the forced labor and extermination camps that the Nazis had set up for the Jews, spaces of captivity and misery, where the children of Israel said that the converts among them, servants of the Germans and turned persecutors, were worse than the Nazis themselves.

Perhaps a parallel from communism, a regime to which Alibeaj himself often refers by strongly advertising that throughout it, he and his family were persecuted, is more valid. Paradoxically, the act undertaken by Alibeaj, not only in intention but also in language, imitated exactly the communists, the former persecutors of the biological and political family that he says he represents.

Alibeaj wrote in the text of the lynching that, after they were given the opportunity to reflect, and this was not observed, the four deputies were expelled. Note the language, so similar to the one persecuted by the communists and his persecutors of yesterday. Even at that time, a thing that Alibeaj himself can testify to, the party organization, the Popular Front, or the employee collective would gather, and after reading the leaflets, give the opportunity for reflection and correction. In this case, you could be pardoned, or else be excluded from a right or privilege, or in the worst case, be punished. Alibeaj embodies the persecutor twice because he undertakes to play both the 'party man' and the collective. So, he aims for the punishment and carries it out himself, not even following the procedure that the communists, as bloodthirsty as they were, respected.

Enkelejd Alibeaj, the son of the persecuted, thus becomes a persecutor, showing exactly that stigma, the opposite of which he said he represents. This act constitutes an example of excellent political suicide when you decide to collapse the symbolism on which you have built, both the discourse and the public profile. It is, more or less, like an environmentalist becoming the owner of a chemical factory.

The persecution that Alibeaj does of his colleagues is, of course, a political tactic that saves his skin, but damages the course of the opposition and favors the government and Edi Rama. Hiding the true intentions behind this entropy of Alibeaj makes him even more communist than his persecutors. They would at least brand you as a political opponent or enemy, and punish you as such.

The transformation of the victim as the executioner is one of the most fantastic tricks of historical and political irony. The fact that we are served by someone who wears his own and the group's victimization as a star of David so that society will recognize his past and give him credit for his history today, is unfortunate in itself and a sign that society does not renew itself through discourse, but produces discourses that are self-revealing to be false as soon as the essence emerges through necessity.

In the end, Alibeaj can keep his signature and enjoy the exclusion of four minority MPs, in a political lodge where he himself is a minority, but he has to release the persecution pipe where he used to perform his political striptease.
