Outdoor Santa Clauses

The two countries

To understand today's Italy there is no need to open the newspapers, television, media in general. Indeed this makes everything more difficult, confusing and useless. To understand our country's poor and marginalized, we must have new eyes, but memory capacity.
That 's what it is dramatically urgent: see, hear, understand.
politicians do not see that, in these hours, reproduce controversy empty, old tricks, tactical tricks, inside and outside the building on behalf of an institutional crisis, they say, to be avoided at all costs.
do not listen to the ministers of this government, now dead, and neither do the captains of venture capitalism without shame, while preaching in unison recipes marches and false on the resumption of the Italian economy.
pollsters do not understand the experts or policy analysts that a deep, irreversible unusual is happening in Italian society.
why we have to see, listen, to understand our own.
We have to do outside the palace and out of academia, outside boards of large companies and out of the meeting of newspaper editors. We have to do that we "out" from that world and often self-we've been fake.
Yet we can not do all on its own: we need to be finding many, especially the way of being together.
know our condition. We are poor tools for analysis, because in recent years have made a clean sweep practices of citizen participation. We are bewildered and frightened because of the many sirens Berlusconi came a bit 'in the ears of everyone without exception. We are confused and uncertain in the search for social rules and principles which should guide us, because the amorality, skepticism, indifference have canceled decades of democracy.
Yet we must. And I believe that many are thinking the same thing: that no one is saved before the cultural catastrophe of a country, no one would emerge unscathed from social collapse and no one could escape the mud flows that breaks all the way to our private lives and public.
E 'this instance, this urgency that I would call, so to speak, the "new policy". A "new policy" that is a gesture of salvation, a reaction of life, who went through the current political affiliation upsetting the root.
This collective action, called to save Italy, it will not be painless: we must know how to show responsibility and omissions, hypocrisy and ineptitude, this will require, among other things, a "radical" change of leadership.
In extraordinary times, moderation is a bad counselor and common sense is required to stay for a while 'sleep of the righteous.
In modern times, it should be open, generous and far-reaching and go beyond the rancor and idiocy competitive, ignoring the vile individual selfishness.
This happened in the dark days of the disaster fascist and Nazi occupation. In that Italy tortured and starved, opened a new cycle. Who was the protagonist were not exceptional men and women, but ordinary people who took upon himself the destiny of a people.
I believe this can and must - on pain of chaos and barbarism - happen in Italy today.

this political project, which has marked the way, but that is mindful of how good it is built in Italy in the second half of the twentieth century, we are called to contribute. We want to do that part, called the Left, which still embodies, in an unequivocal manner, the values \u200b\u200bof justice, equality and freedom.

Pier Paolo Pasolini, in his final year of life, almost predicting the end, greatly accelerated its effort to see, hear and understand what it was Italy. He saw a company that gave up the worst of itself, listened with all his sensibility as a poet and intellectual, the thousands of silence on the massacres of State and the mute voices of the victims, he realized that a new political force had to be loading the first it was too late, "the salvation of Italy and its poor democratic institutions."
But the political strength - that Pasolini was then the Communist Party - had to do this by going beyond the separation, resolving the first paradox of content to be "one country clean in a dirty country, a country fair in a dishonest country, a country in a smart idiot country, a country caught in an ignorant country, a country humanistic consumerism in a country. " Why
the ancient division of Italy into two countries, one sank up to their necks in the degradation and degeneration, the other intact and not compromised, can not be a reason for peace and constructive. "
For this reason we can not only be a Party / Party, because we can not only represent the best of those two countries, but we must ensure that other country, which has, in recent decades, cradle, distorted, destroyed our lives , is literally less, fades, vanishes, leaving the place, peacefully, in one big clean honest intelligent educated country.
E 'is the only objective of policy to come.
