The sultan, San Gennaro, and the octopus.
We need to start talking. Policy. Scream, too, with rage in the streets, squares and places of work, in bars.
Acting on the internet, in newspapers, on radio and TV online, in forums and chat social network, start to write on walls, leaflets. Organize meetings, attack occurs. Go back to meetings, open circles and sections, movements and associations found. Start to be interested. For the fake parking, the trash we bury, to speculation that cement factory, the water that we steal, the cleaners are there and when we are not working, broken-down roads where people die in war, the houses We collapsed on the earthquake and without the earthquake, privatization dummy, we pay taxes and that many do not pay, wages from taking some nabobs from hunger and those who take others, justice is not working and the mafias that it works fine. We must relearn many things in politics because we have forgotten or not we ever learn. Learning to speak and act in public, to understand when they tell lies and nonsense that is almost always. Figure out where he went to finish the immense wealth of so-called privatization.
Find out when a law on the ecology of the crap they make us pay, when in the name of Robin Hood have us by the nose. Find out why we have services for older and battered and because they cost twice before.
hold talks. Policy. But not for or against a guy-and-so, but for our interests and our interests against those who she fucked. Talking about money is not enough, the work that is not there and when there is underpaid or so dangerous to us killed, die, talk about health ticket, the beggars are multiplying, pensions, maybe we will never, scams and deception of which we are victims of injustice and corruption. We have to start thinking too. To our individual and collective life, the world we want for ourselves and for our children. A better, less polluted, more just, less less violence and gangs, with fewer wars. We have to start to get angry.
What has become Italy? A sultanate, a rogue state, where the circus clown performs a chauvinistic? They say it in so many hours. Not just the communists, or Saving Silverman magistrates clean hands. They say representatives of liberalism and as Ostellino Sartori, said the newspapers across Europe. It is not about attacks against the center-right government but of definitions that involve the whole Italian political system, the ruling groups and the same Italian company.
sorry to say, but in the world there are boos and raspberries for the whole of Italy.
We worry about this. Do not shrug that both it's just envy the head of government. Envy of what? We are in the midst of a global economic and financial crisis of colossal proportions
do not know how it will end, because there is not, at this time, even in civil society, let alone in the world of politics, institutions , the economy, an awareness, a debate, any proposal, any project to come out.
rising a little to look good from the mess with the mind-gossipparo propaganda, the Italian situation is really serious.
On one hand, denied the figures of a disaster and dealt only with superstitious gestures and generous invitation optimism (GDP -5%, -15% of industrial production, unemployment 8.5%, household consumption -3%, food prices +3%, -19% of exports, debt to the historical maximum +6% tax revenue -4.8 %)... and so on so forth.
any other program, no plan, no entry. The strategy of political-electoral gifts and snatch snatch Overall, a war of all against all, a man for himself without rules and without measure. But this is a crisis that does not deal with your everyday life. Not enough of luck and even the appeal to optimism and a few stolen billion investment in the south.
It is said that other states Westerners are better off are even worse as shown by some indicators. In Spain, unemployment is strongest in Britain, some banks have failed
, Germany industrial production drops faster ...
We have no illusions. Each of these has been solid and substantial point lead over Italy. We think the efficiency of the French bureaucracy, the German welfare system that covers every inhabitant
, even those with black skin, from birth to death, local institutions in England. We make a mental comparison with Italy. With local authorities who survive by robbing our citizens with fake traffic lights, parking lots such as heavy taxes and the market charges of urbanization, the social security pensions, which distributes baby card and nabobs and twenty euro per month, with the most uneven bureaucratic machine of the West, with a justice that is the last process for decades, with a security do- and you do not have gas for the cars, with the old and new poor, new and old corruption, extravagance with new and old, with the mafia, with a state
powerful and invasive, that until a few years ago ran half the nation's economy and now, increasingly powerful and invasive, can not even pick up the trash ...
And then all the states of Europe in this crisis have made their moves, moved hundreds of billions euro, while we stood idly by as much as to say that the crisis had passed and cheer on Marchionne.
We should not pretend not to see. Not to understand. We are in a terrible situation is more aggravated by our inability to deal with it. We used the campaign for the European and local elections not to speak of the European treaties, the constitution, the agreement between states for the economy and finance, not to highlight proposals and projects to come out of the crisis and to reassess our dilapidated state machine, not to agree on reforms long overdue. We played as usual, like a gang war, no holds barred, as a confrontation between rival clans, to win and maintain positions of power. Without the project, without ideas, without participation. What is the power of citizens in the end if they are forced to vote on crap sull'appeal or a few "leaders"? If they are not given to know who is in the race and why? It took the intervention of Napolitano because the media were allowed a few crumbs of real information. In
citizens, except for a small minority, there is a clear awareness of what really happens in Italy. Are filled up to saturation of all news affecting the life of the mundane and intimate vipperia political and media but no one informed them of administrative measures and laws that change the tables, which determine their hopes, their plans, their health, their life and their death.
Strategies for the systematic destruction of all forms of democratic participation (closure of sections, the transformation of parties in family clans and / or election committees, election laws Filth), practiced in recent decades, right and left, with wicked recklessness , is bearing fruit poisonous. The only form of political participation granted to the masses, is a sort of cheering supporters for a stadium practiced often bribed with gifts and incentives of any kind.
Italian citizens, in the beginning of this millennium, seem so completely drugged and dazed by entrusting their hopes for the future with gambling (50 € billion spent in 2008), the reality shows, the protection of a papal ... We have heard the workers laid off beg the chairman of the board as a new San Gennaro: Help! we will have voted!
Italian citizens, including workers, seem so completely dazed and drugged not to be afraid of crisis, loss of job and salary, the lack of justice is understood as
inequality that as a lack of service, and the difficulty for some the inability to cultivate a life project, the mafia and the inhumanity of the suburbs. The stronger than fear, wisely
instilled and cultivated it for the arrival of tens of thousands of desperate people on earth who risk their skin to come to Italy to find a loaf of bread, but also to pay the pension contributions of Italians . To come to assist them in their old and sick.
Italian citizens, at this moment, are not aware of the need and urgency to form and strengthen a new political class, but even if they still could not do much without the right to vote by an electoral law, even with the referendum, winning it or not, will only worsen the situation.
In this historic moment is unlikely that the Italian political system is able to reform without a strong shock. To be found within this management team (right center and left
) human and cultural energies not so much able to reverse the degradation even if only to block that, with the progress of the crisis, will always more in all its rawness. There is a real difficulty of interpreting reality in the Italian political staff. A failure to understand and describe what happens in the world. Everything is seen in a milky and vaguely how they see the patients with cataracts.
Barack Obama said we can raise taxes on the rich, we can have a health system that protects all, we can make peace with the Arabs, we can have equal rights for all, we can cut the claws ticoons to a world of predators, we can live together with Cuba, we can have equal wages between men and women .. . proposing a revolution against the models that have dominated the U.S. ever since. He said all this, and has won
is doing now.
the Italian left all this has been translated as: "if some ffa" which meant we we can do to win the election. Without so much as came into his head to propose some
change, nothing, not even a comma. "If some ffa "what? In his right hand even worse. Until the day before to lick it all Bush, his wars, his strategy weapons, oil and scams. The next day, all to glorify Obama and throw obscene identifications, of course not change your mind about the war on Muslims, gay finance, on equality.
The view of the parties (if you can still call it that) in Italy is really depressing. Right immense power tied to a man who is also the story of these days, have shown several times to a hair (pardon!) against the risk of getting lost and losing everything. Right again, a movement (the League), despite the consensus and the power acquired is not able to get out of the (Partial) representation of "local interests, even as an important area of \u200b\u200bthe Lombardy-Veneto, unless you want to consider brilliant solutions to the national electoral law, federalism and patrols.
Left goes a bit 'worse. For the PD had great hopes to which it is paid as a great disappointment. Curled up on itself has not had time to propose any change. However wrong those who think that the new Democratic Party has done little or nothing. In just two years managed to take out the Prodi government, the parliament to drop the so-called radical left and a 10% Di Pietro. Not cheap. If you play to lose. To the left of
PD is a vacuum that declines as the left and meets and falls into a chaotic and incomprehensible to all motion. The situation is much heavier to the south and in Calabria where the money, work, vote for the most part, are a market monopolized by private and gangs and cliques that only sometimes acting on his own and almost always with a mandate to potentate
political economy of Rome and the north. As has become clear from the investigations of De Magistris, as it became even clearer by the recent robbery of European funds for investment, the government used to pay for everything from ICI of the rich, Alitalia, the earthquake, milk quotas of the Po, without a one voice to stand up to protest, to demand an explanation, at least to inform southern theft.
What to do? There are no recipes. There are no miracles. Do not expect no saint and no hero. We will save no one if we do not we. Using the tools of all time and the new ones that we have available. The instrument of criticism, the knowledge and dissemination of all information
policies. Solidarity among all those who suffer exploitation, fraud, injustice, harassment, intimidation, arrogance regardless of work they do, age, gender, skin color, whether they live north or south.
The tolerance and patience for a continuous dialogue between all those who want a better world. There are many roads to get there but you must choose one and move forward. Non-violence in particular. Gandhi succeeded in ousting an empire, many others have simply because of the dead. And last but most important than anything else: the hard work and sustained efforts to develop solutions and proposals. The world better not be a dream, a sun of the future, but a
project for today, or rather a work in progress every day is enriched with details and enhancements.
It is not impossible. But it is not easy. The old metaphor of the abused giant with feet of clay does not describe well reality. The power system in Italy is a great octopus, with tentacles and poison that corrupts and spoils everything. He lives well in the dark, in the dirt. But can not stand the sunlight, the open air, cleanliness. It 's easy to avoid it. Just stay dry. And if everyone is dry will not have to eat. Fresh air, sunshine and clean will do the rest. The octopus will be shown for what it really is a huge stomach with so much crap in it.
