It will be on the ruins of this crisis is inevitable that the tidal wave will continue without fear his idea of \u200b\u200bdemocracy, marked by freedom, autonomy ...
7 / 7 / 2009
For years we have been taught in schools and universities that the traits that disinguono a democracy is the freedom to think, to be able to independently choose their own paths of life with respect for others' ideas and the possibility of having the tools to make that choice. We have always said that those in power has the duty to hear all the voices that rise from the folds of society and the duty groped to interact with the contradictions and conflicts with the tools of political confrontation, even hard, and mediation. A democracy is that if the above thoughts, behavioral propensities, subjective aspirations and claims of politicians, even those of minorities are respected and deemed legitimate in some way. This we have always said. Today, looking at what happens in Italy, I wonder if anyone has the feeling of being in a true democracy.
Let us listen to examine three issues of great interest: employment, immigration and education.
As for the work nobody can deny that, in these times of crisis, widespread insecurity, due to new forms all'imporsi contract clearly discriminatory for most workers and a general markedly unequal distribution of wealth, leading many workers and unemployed people to demand better conditions of pay and payment of income can open up possibilities for human beings. Now faced with this question that the social reaction of government is one part of the attempt not even consider the emergence of new forms of work and exploitation, and then lesistenza the claim of new rights, and the other to attack the criminal law the strike. Delegitimize and criminalize the point.
On the ground things are a source of immigration to all. The security package, and especially the introduction the crime of illegal imigrazione establishes definitively the disinterest of government in addressing this issue with social policies and new projects of integration and autonomy while respecting the rights of migrants and urges that the strategy of criminalization and criminal use of the instrument and repressive. A policy which inevitably reproduces discrimination against thousands of people and a culture of fear, suspicion and distrust of the whole society. We come now to the facts of these days, Then we go to the issue of training.
been years since we presented our criticisms of the 3 +2 reform, desired note from the center-left, speaking of de-qualification of knowledge, liceizzazione and corporatization of the university. When the Gelmini and Berlusconi's government in general have revealed their plan has triggered widespread social context. Everything happened in broad daylight. We have expressed our concern about what seemed a real dismantling of public universities, given the consistency of the cuts and forecast the creation of university foundations and gave life to this legitimate concern with a legitimate complaint.
assemblies, parades like the one in Rome which was attended by hundreds of thousands of people, occupations and roadblocks throughout Italy have thus translated politically, without any violence and with determination, a legitimate social demand, which rose from all over the country.
We plan to build a public du adequately funded, where the protagonists are critical knowledge, culture and freedom of research "autonomous." All the service of our desire to know the contemporary social reality and why not, maybe be able to change. So we've said and done for months. And they claim as just and legitimate. The answer was obvious, predictable and in some ways "consistent." The deans and rectors, the same people who supported the struggle, they stopped talking to us as soon as we have denounced the interests and powers of the feudal barons in many universities. Came the first complaint, and the first officers when the mobilization was demonstrated in quality, retention and participation is not the usual excitement and ritual autumn.
The faculties have begun to clear the self-managed classrooms that for weeks have brought a wave of student participation in university life and the production and transmission of knowledge and some principals have begun to deny authorization to perform self-training conferences and seminars. Matter of public policy we were told. Finally, when the struggles of students and researchers have begun to interact with other furniture throughout the area, when in fact we began to understand that the formula "multitudinous" that had characterized the Wave movement could be an important wealth to spend on different terrains struggle and demands, So it's timely stroke of the sword of the leviathan.
"We do not have a girlfriend at the level of evidence but the individuals arrested were previously able to participate in the G8 protests all'Acquila" This says the motivation by the prosecutor in Turin. So here again the tried and tested formula. Do not recognize the existence of a social conflict, ignore it and then turn it into a matter of public safety and order and finally hitting some random criminalize some specific goals in people who have made it emerge. Hit the "bad" to intimidate "good". Divide where the networking of the differences had been a strong point. Producing social alarms and public enemies to mystify reality.
E' questa la strategia del governo per affontare una crisi economica e poltica che sta mettendo in discussione le basi stesse di una democrazia sempre più logorata, sempre più violentata, sempre più anomala.
Niente piagnistei però. Sarà proprio sulle rovine di questa crisi inevitabile che l'Onda Anomala porterà avanti senza paura la sua idea di democrazia, all'insegna della libertà, dell'autonomia e della partecipazione vera di tutti alla vita sociale del paese.
