thanks to Jacopo, who kindly and nicely translated these words from one of the latest independent minds of the "manipulated" and corrupted italian panorama: Giorgio Bocca. God bless Him.

Italians, the Small Ceasar and the lack of interest for Europe.



What is Democracy for Italians? What are elections?
Lets follow an order of importance.
First, (Democracy) is better than a racist dictatorship.
So let us not commit the same error which the Stalinist-Communists  in the years between the 2 wars did;  watching the Fascist Regimes grow through the hate against Social Democracy.
Said this, saying that this small democracy which we live in is better than any new Nazi-Fa Regimes, well it doesn..t make one feel better.
            Italians,  the "Popolo Sovrano"
(((Popolo Sovrano is not equal to the People..s power, there is no such word which is compatible between English and Continental Political thought regarding these subjects.
Its a controversial which is going on since Bodin I think, in substance it would mean Italians as a One Single Political Body, which is soveregin of the State and its powers, counterposed to the pluralistic concept of Common Law, where people is a plural .)))
so they call it, went to vote for the government of Europe ignoring on purpose the European problems, and hailing for one side or the other of Berlusconi..s Sultanate .
During the electoral campaign period, instead of discussing on the knots of European economy, on the invasion of the poor people of the Earth, on the Laicitee (independent politically from any religion) of the European Union, or on the persisten conditioning of too much religion on the european Law (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, whatever), we mainly focused on the virtues and defects of our own Small Ceasar, on his needs and on his whims,  allowing the exercise of his sense of humour on "Veline"
( the infamous TV image girls  who populate the italian cultural panorama)
and on other Heads of State, his friends.
Let us face it, Dictatorship is worse than a Sultanate.
It is not a joke when we say that the plutocratic revolution and the Coup of the Business men/women which are going on today  are much better than gas chambers, and the Katyn massacre.
But, they are not in the end, the "Going on", they do not represent a growth of Civil Society. They are a Sisiphean challenge, always starting again.
The praises from various Politicians appear sassy/rude, looking at the uncaring and territorially limited minded way on how italians voted for the future of Europe.
I heard Tremonti (Ita-Minister of Finances) speaking on the crisis, on the errors made by international bankers, ministers, economists, whilst slicing inside how good italians instead are, and have been:
so intelligent that nobody can fool them, so knowledged that any other economist or banker should go hiding.
   Here we go again, a Populist Praise which comes back through the lips of our politicians, who believe to be so much better than anyone else.
And how do they measure their moral stature? With  the "Popolo Sovrano" as a unit, to enchant and extort money from.
How to call this hystorical period? It seemed for a momentary lapse of time, that at the end of WW2 we managed to get a better road for us, to be amongst the ones who do and act in Europe, for a better Europe.
But in Europe we send people that of Europe know nothing.
