now 3 years have passed since the conclusion of the last tragic experience of government of the left. The Union led by Prodi weak since the first day of term began in 2006 has melted like snow in the sun in less than 2 years of life, and could not be otherwise. However in the eyes of the Italians blamed the end of that miserable experience of government has fallen entirely on the communist parties, while the truth as we all know is quite different. (Not that we want to perform the work of the PRC and the Italian community for the wrongs they have received and many: the lack of redistribution of income to the refinancing of military missions, the subordination to the Catholic component of the coalition).
Since that time the communists were ousted from Parliament, because of an electoral law aimed at encouraging the two major parties and PD PDL and to establish a parliament ready to be appointed to obey blindly to those who had entered the electoral roll. The cartel called the Rainbow Left election not has done it and pass the quorum of 4% and suddenly for the first time since the war the Communists did not have their representation in the Italian Parliament.
This has resulted in part from a new tear: which is the output current Vendola by the PRC during the Congress of Chianciano and the other the attempt to bring the communist parties under the banner of Federation of the Left, this project, which has paid off best at the local level (think of the positive experience that has occurred in the Province of Rovigo), whereas the national strengths and personalities of the groups leaders have great influence on the pace and success of the project.
The political and historical moment in which we live requires that very unity of the true strength of the left (communist or not), as desired by its militants and sympathizers, is implemented in the shortest possible time for us to be prepared and proposals concrete to be presented in the case (very likely) for early elections. You will also find it appropriate to the confluence of what remains of the PRC and the Italian Communists in a single Italian Communist Party to become the backbone of a larger container which should be the Federation of the Left.
Unfortunately what I see now I do not like at all. There are still too sectarian, and has not reached the development review and make a serious proposal that could participate Italians about what kind of Italy is to be realized. There is a kind of immobility and lack of political initiative of the leading groups of the Federation of the Left, which, unfortunately, is severely damaging the project. Every day I see around me more and more disappointed that fellow defiladed because they no longer believe in the success of the project, it is contained within a mere defense of the claim without anything, and this turns out to be a losing strategy as it demonstrates the continued dispossession rights.
And so that enthusiasm and the desire to design and military off and unlikely to be recovered. That's a lot of disappointed at that point prefer to rely on the wrong way to the charisma of the new messiah of the left (?) Vendola. And so we find ourselves with a new Bertinotti can so capture the attention with his dialectical skills, but unable to build a real alternative to the capitalist system and the Berlusconi's populism.
One of the reasons with which I try to explain political immobility of the Federation (in addition to the internal differences of opinion) is that its leadership has not yet abandoned the idea of \u200b\u200ban alliance with the Democratic Party and stay there and wait for a call that probably will never come. The glorious history of the Italian Communist Party can not be reduced to this. Who is a candidate to take the witness has a duty not to tarnish that name, has a duty to make policy. And politics does not mean accordicchio seek to achieve two or three Communist seats in Parliament.
This is not to say that disdain dialogue, far from it, but the dialogue is something that can only occur between equals. How can you remotely think that the relationship with PD may be different from what the servant with his master? We'll use for the umpteenth time to earn the weapon brancaleone few hundred thousand votes, then our proposals would be set aside immediately and our voters would feel betrayed again.
many targets that a deal with the PD is needed to beat Berlusconi. But do not beat you in this manner, on the contrary it strengthens it. Berlusconi Berlusconi and above (which honestly makes me a lot more fear) can be effectively combated only preceded by an alternative cultural and anthropological model.
The dialogue must be sought with citizens, workers, youth, the unemployed, temporary workers and students with that part of the union that still resist the dictates of capitalism increasingly legibus solutus; with that part of the population are becoming increasingly impoverished strongly or is already poor, with migrants who are the Italians in the near future. We must renew our relationship with movements that run Italy from North to South are missing the proposals? I do not think so. I am quite convinced that lack the courage to present them to the population. Faced with an economic and cultural crisis of this magnitude are courageous choices:
1 - Why not have the assignment of all vacant housing to people who do not have a home and returned to combat eco-fee the continued rise in rents? I remember that the right to housing is a basic human right (Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
2 - Why not propose a higher tax on capital and financial transactions, and together provide for the relief of taxation on employment and adjustment of salaries to the standards of major European countries?
3 - Why not bring the 30 weekly hours of work (as opposed to 60 hours, the threshold is to be cleared also within the European Union), so that most of the unemployed can be absorbed by the labor market ? Work less, but all work.
4 - Why not launch a major green economy plan, which could cut energy consumption and provide for the Distributed generation of clean energy in order to liberate ourselves from dependence on foreign countries (like Russia and Libya).
5 - What if the decriminalization of offenses related to petty crime and drug use and instead provide for harsher penalties for crimes committed by "white collar"? And finally, think of the prison as an institution really aimed at social reintegration of the offender, without their contempt for human dignity as unfortunately happens in the Italian camp. (Just see the excellent results obtained from the prison of bubble where a very small percentage of prisoners return to crime once released from prison)
6 - Why not revitalize public education, research and experimentation in a process that aims to integrate the cultures of migrants? (Remember that only a few years ago, Italy had the best primary schools across Europe, now it is proceeding with its dismantled.
These are just some small suggestions that a person of the left would like to see made, but there are many others that relate to the dignity and safety at work, the withdrawal of our forces from theater wars, to raise the banner of efficiency, effectiveness and quality of public services. What is needed is Italians the enthusiasm created by something that may hint at a different future, one can not make the mistake of staying at the window and wait for something to happen otherwise the consequence of becoming useless and irrelevant. But I believe that the Left in Italy still has a lot to say. We must look to the example of great pride and dignity that comes from the countries of the southern Mediterranean, regained their own country and their future. They began working on a symbolic square, a recovery that is a public place, which belongs to everyone. It seems a good place to start.
