random on politics and friendship

the last days as i started fieldwork again, i am rethinking the idea of my own political i have been dealing with. so far i have been trying to mutually enhance the possibilities '(now i can call it "potency") of myself and the people i interact with, thus i tried to act upon those things that constrain us all and act to enhance possibilities of all people i have a relation with. i have to recognize the limits and failures of this project, on the one hand there are multiple limits to my own practice of course, and we all know this, but then there is the problem of how far you define your friends and how far you can - do go, and how to act with those who you do not know but maybe could still work many things out. one of the things that make me think of this is the death of a friend who died of tuberculosis and just did not have enough to eat everyday. some options would have been to find a way to feed and put him under medical care, other use this event as a martyr demonstrating the need of social revolution, but none of this is an option. i think all his friends could have done more to help him probably, and i do believe that we need a social revolution, but none of this enunciations in itself is enough. the other dimension is of course what happens with all our non friends, and the absolutely problematic dichotomy friends and enemies which a politics of friensdship would present (i am reading this in scorer´s reall intersting thesis i will comment sometime when i finish it).
i am trying out at least to shift my spatial positions, and think of actions that may generate other forms of mutual "care" and enhancement of potency, and action with non friends.
