By Luciano Boci
To argue her concept of the “banality of evil”, philosopher Hannah Arendt made an exhaustive analysis of the trial of Adolf Eichmann (one of the organizers and authors of the Holocaust).
In conclusion, she emphasized that evil can be committed not necessarily by monsters, but by ordinary people who simply follow some imposed “rules”, without ethically reflecting on them.
Their product is monstrous in relation to the rules that have been imposed on them. Thus, the real monster is hidden in the creator of the rules and the consequences of implementation.
I took this definition to shed some light on what happened with the vote in these elections.
Away from political rhetoric, we can say that the murder of the vote today as a “monstrous” act was carried out very simply in broad daylight and on the basis of some “rules” that have already become the norm, drafted and exposed by Rama’s government as necessary and mandatory to be implemented.
From this perspective, political patrons, the frustrated and frightened administration, organized crime gangs, the bought or self-sacrificing media, the captured police, although they are the executors of the murder and the annihilation of the vote, feel completely at ease in front of their mirror and I believe they have no reflection despite the feeling of triumph.
They even find what the opposition is demanding today excessive, not to say strange.
According to them, they have followed the "rules" of power imposed by the party and the head of the organization, which are beyond the law and the constitution, but which are considered all-powerful in a system based on political banality.
The buying of votes by them, the industrial manipulation, the violent deformation of its benefits, is a process that has been announced for years and has now reached its peak.
RAMA as a political banality
Rama entered politics and will emerge from it as the creator of political banality, as the politician who annihilated the vote and as the prime minister who established an exemplary narco-regime.
His manipulation machine is gigantic and includes every governing mechanism, including the media, the justice institutions and the CEC, but also the entirety of the political parties.
His electoral campaigns have long since turned into a competition for jokes, slogans that are forgotten the day after the elections, and populist performances that do not serve the citizen, but only the image.
He says nothing because behind these banal quintessences, everything else is criminal: theft, mass purchases, criminal involvement, dirty money, deformation and destruction of votes.
At the end of the day, elections do not exist for him. We only have a repeated ritual, where only the decor changes, but not the scenario.
BERISHA as a challenger
In a 2013 phone call when I was the head of the DP branch, with Berisha, then Prime Minister, I was impressed that his fundamental insistence was the fairness of the vote and the clarity of the electoral process and not winning the elections by any means or conditions.
I ended the conversation not without surprise, but this was the Doctor. He wanted to win with fairness, accountability, a program and political values.
He is still like that today.
Within his concept, the vote is and remains the foundation of a system that we wanted and dreamed of since 1990.
The banalists who presented themselves as analysts and who today have triumphed as the gilded spear of Rama's banality do not stop attacking him, the politician who, even in the judgment of his fiercest opponents, remains "the only true politician".
But the banal scheme demands this and all the batteries and arrows of banality are directed today at the man who represents and transmits the opposite of banality.
He had and still has political seriousness, a real program, human positivity and tangible vision.
Shifting the media debate from the problem of banality to the challenger is a continuation of the triumph of banality with banal media and banal methods.
Epilogue
All that has happened with the annihilation of the vote is not only a political crisis. It is also a deep cultural and civic crisis, because the silence that accepts evil is worse than evil itself.
And the greatest challenge today is not to defeat a party or a candidate.
The challenge is to defeat the kingdom of banality and return the vote, seriousness and content to the center of public debate.
Democracy does not die with a bang; it fades slowly, when we accept that everything is “okay” even when it is not.
Today, more than ever, we need to restore the meaning of the vote.
Not simply as a formal right, but as a moral and political act that requires responsibility from everyone: citizens, politicians and institutions.
Because a wasted vote is a ruined democracy. And a ruined democracy is the soil where the banality of evil grows.
It is the mud where the "pig" Rama feels like the Prime Minister of banality.
