Civilizational misuse of aid as punishment in the institutionalized social work

Abstract

Throughout the history of civilization the social context could not but establish a relation between the holders of power who have control over the available material resources and political power and subordinate and dependant people who are forced to rely on the state organized help/aid in order to satisfy their basic/elementary needs. The latent nature of that help is mercifully-hypocritical for in its essence it represents a perfidious form of punishment of powerless through the control and preservation of the existing social order which is exactly what makes them be such. In that respect, the institutionalized social work is in the service of protection of interests of the governing government-political structures and their economic domination since, being the social agents and watch-guards, they perform the integration of the 'asocial' ones into the existing value standards of deeply dehumanized and socially unjust society.

Tokom čitave istorije civilizacije nužno se u društvenom kontekstu uspostavlja odnos između nosioca vlasti, koji upravljaju raspoloživim materijalnim resursima i političkom moći, i potčinjenih i zavisnih ljudi, koji su prinuđeni da se za elementarno zadovoljavanje egzistencijalnih potreba oslanjaju na državno organizovanu pomoć. Latentna priroda te pomoći je milosrdno-licemerna, jer u biti predstavlja perfidni oblik kažnjavanja nemoćnih, kroz kontrolu i očuvanje postojećeg društvenog poretka koji ih i čini takvim. U tom smislu, i institucionalni socijalni rad je u službi zaštite interesa vladajućih državno-političkih struktura i njihove ekonomske dominacije, pošto kao socijalni agenti i čuvari vrše integraciju 'asocijalnih' u postojeće vrednosne norme duboko dehumanizovanog i socijalno nepravednog društva.
