April 1, 2010 I'm working on a CD and a book on music, history and stories of the Castelli Romani. I run the audio tapes made by the thirty or forty years ago. A worker from a construction site that busy to explain what the "sorecchio" which went on to claim unused land says, "is the scythe, like the one that's on the emblem of the red flag." Women hearing on March 8, 70, who sing "we are conscious that part \\ of the people who fight and work". The Unity Party of Albania, in 1975, the Italian solemn hymns of the proletariat: “ci han promesso una dimane \ la diman s’aspetta ancor”. Tiberio Ducci nel 1976 che racconta le storie dell’insurrezione per il pane del 1898. Renato Trinca in un’osteria di Rocca di Papa nel 1969, uno stornello: “vita da cani \ perché noi siamo tutti disoccupati”. Silvano Spinetti detto Cicala, con l’orchestrina (il violinista aveva imparato a suonare al confino a Ventotene): “uno, non lo può saper nessuno, manco Andreotti col curato può saper per chi ha votato e se mai si pentirà…” E suo padre Dandolo, che veniva a Roma a portare il vino e che nel 1910 aveva composto in carcere i “comandamenti del socialismo”: “Uno, evviva Giordano Bruno said that the truth ... "And he sang the song of the partisans of the Castles," Now that liberated Rome \\ the whole world will rise up "...
Already, the partisans. I open the newspaper and I hear that high school programs in the Resistance is not even mentioned. In those affected, it appears that talk of the Templars, people and passions that have existed in the depths of history, but that does not concern us most. Yet so little time has passed, yet these are people I met and heard not centuries ago. "E 'implicit', the officials said Gelmini - just like the Templars. Maybe they're right: even in the program of the Democratic Party had forgot to mention it, the Resistance, and we had to pull the sleeve at least in words because we put it on.
the conscious part of people who struggle and work, the Resistance had raised high hopes for tomorrow - a tomorrow to share together, not one by one in competition with everyone. "History, can not you see, the march toward freedom," sang "Cicala". But Rome was liberated and the whole way is not risen, no one works with sorecchio, and let's leave the red flag. And as for history, there have even said it was over.
For this reason, insist on the Resistance today is not a matter of nostalgia, or to fight on the card battles armies of seventy ago. It 'a matter of understanding where we can go and try now that hope, that tomorrow, that story, and by what means and with what symbols. Resistance did not mean the past, meant the future (the future verbs are almost all working class hymns and songs of many partisan), but the future is precisely what we miss today. Arrogance of power and the opposition resignation converge: erase or forget the resistance is to affirm or accept that the world will never change, that power will always be in the hands stretched out, we can not do anything but resign ourselves to adapt and carry on, each as he can. And I would add: to live well, do not need to knowledge. We can get rid of geography in schools, resize the literature in universities, impoverish the story, impoverish the language. And we will be available subjects and dumb, without visions of other worlds, other places, other times.
Yet history is not only what is written in books and programs that require ministerial and who remember the party programs. Even the castles have changed in the few decades that research (I remember ten years ago the son of a murdered at the Fosse Ardeatine who voted Berlusconi said communist but because he said that in the interests of his small company). But: it is not the same thing, but in these disastrous regional Emma Bonino took in Genzano il 61,9 per cento, e persino i rottami della sinistra fra loro hanno racimolato più dell’otto per cento. Forse da qualche parte, un po’ afona e un po’ vergognosa, un poco di resistenza con la minuscola si annida ancora.

The Resistance is the future exchange of roles: Berlusconi and Bagnasco

il manifesto 23.4.2010

Avevamo un Presidente Operaio, poi abbiamo avuto un Presidente Odontotecnico, e adesso abbiamo anche un Presidente facente funzioni di Papa. Dall’alto della sua ben nota autorità etica, Silvio Berlusconi giudica positivamente la lettera di Benedetto XVI sulla pedofilia; e immediatamente il presidente dei vescovi italiani ringrazia invitando a votare a destra alle regionali.
Un’autorità politica che esprime un giudizio morale, religious authority to political messages: in any other country in the world would be upside down. But our ruling classes have never fully accepted the democratic principle of separation of Church and State. So Berlusconi, in his infinite modesty, not being able to do for the moment the pope, it is considered a higher authority of the Pope and comforted him with her high moral approval. And the Cardinal Bagnasco, unable for the moment to make the prime minister, gave the line to the voters by reducing the Roman Catholic Church to the electoral committee of Mrs. Polverini.
But the fact that we're used to not make this double invasion of the field less ridiculous on the one hand, and other less dangerous and offensive. Ridiculous stuff is from 1984, when people and institutions that have shaken the moral authority to set itself up as guardians of morality and love. That 'even attack the very substance of the Christian religion''spoken of in straps Berlusconi is materialized in more abuse and silence, in that those who report them. If you had any decency, the Catholic Church these days should use tones at least a bit 'more moderate in trumpeting the theme of "human dignity", which is certainly offended by unpunished child abuse committed by priests much more than from the "immeasurable crime of abortion." And if you had any decency, Silvio Berlusconi, end-user of escort fee, should speak of love and sexuality with a little 'more humility and care.
But with the ridiculous there is a danger. Contradicting Marx, here the farce and tragedy can become intertwined. Because what is at stake in this game are not the love, the dignity of human life. We are faced with two charismatic institutions who do not accept limits, feel out of control and erode least part of their charisma and their power, and cling to each other exchanging favors (also much more concrete and less public a statement of support) to revitalize and give comfort. It could be a good sign, an omen of change, but it is also a signal of risk, neither the Church nor Berlusconi have the slightest idea what democracy is, and there is no limit to what they are capable even of being in the saddle. The very fact that so dramatically raise the tone is both a sign of weakness, is a warning: the power is compact, empires are always ready to strike again.
That seems to me absolutely necessary that we go all to vote in these regional elections. If Berlusconi and Cardinal Bagnasco rely on a hard core of obedience and consent, the vote we have a tool, perhaps limited but real, to express disobedience and dissent. Nichi Vendola or candidates as Emma Bonino, so different, however, are carriers of an idea of \u200b\u200blife, love, sexuality, human dignity, which is infinitely higher than bargained for and vilified by the ballet of these powerful political and moralistic fear. We can have differences and even confusion, but the entry of a straight leg Bagnasco clear that the choices we are called to do are not indifferent, that are not "all equal". If we really care about life (and dignity, and even love), let's hear it.
