... or, what was this strange student movement?
On the one hand, it was another cold spell.
You could feel something too fake, too tarot, the air we breathed in the last few weeks, in the slogans that were sung in procession, between the lines of newspaper articles.
If you read The Republic without leaving home, not knowing what was happening in the square, you could get the impression that he was breaking out the insurgency in Italy. Clashes over the world, the country blocked the government ready to fall. Then there was the reality of the square of the occupations. Beautiful, but had nothing to do with what you might read in the press.
This teaches us that the left appear as dead, know still use his old tricks. They just pumped this "movement"! The Republic, the CGIL, the left parties and also all who have not left a single obsession: to bring down Berlusconi.
They wanted to make up for the Wave. The Wave: a perfection hitherto unpublished in the marketing of the dispute. A wide generational scam. should be taught in the training of every political party: a good name as a surfer on the beach, songs that sound good, reproducible actions, a clearly defined enemy. And then, nothing. The house of cards collapses, the operation is fallita, si proverà di nuovo tra due anni. E l'hanno fatta ripartire quella macchina! La metafora questa volta non è più il mare ma il cielo: tutti sui tetti, tutti sui monumenti!
Gli studenti e i ricercatori sui tetti, i monumenti occupati, i cortei enormi: questo è stato il lato spettacolare di questi giorni. Di questo si è parlato, scritto, dibattuto tanto e ancora tanto. Tutto questo teatro ha sopratutto permesso di nascondere l'altro lato del movimento . I sinistroidi, tutti esaltati, si felicitavano: non si parla più delle minorenni che si scopa Berlusconi, si parla della legge Gelmini, dei tagli, della politica. Another veil to hide the obvious, to delay a little 'off the inevitable, to continue to believe in the dream, even though we are now all awake.
Security forces have played their part: a few batons, a little 'blood here and there to bring back the indignation that seemed to disappear along with the left. The "radicals" were wearing helmets and made from some smoke, which is always nice scene on the photos. confrontation no one wanted to go. The G8 meeting in Genoa is still in the heads of everyone from both sides.
The movement has thus played mostly on the virtual plane, why go to the real one would open the door to a power that would fall far more than the government, which could put an end to all forms of government. The left knows this, because this port is already opened three decades ago to close it and the price was very high. Many have paid with their lives. The left will always be the best guardian of this door, avoiding at all costs that the fight goes on the real plane.
summer in Italy there is an atmosphere at the end of the kingdom. On all channels of the show speaks only of the re-clown, is to defend that to lynch him. He speaks especially of its end, how close will this policy parentheses. The only content of the left over the past few years has been the antiberlusconismo. moral opposition to the character, instead of political opposition to the state of things of which he is only the most grotesque enactment. Here's how the discourse of legality has become the alpha and omega of the Italian left , the obstacle that always comes in when trying to affect this, and that can not be overcome for many years.
Thus, it is the end of a reign. But this end, this Apocalypse, had nothing to do with Berlusconi. This is the end of the world.
From another First, a fire was able to warm up.
The feeling of the end of this world, it lives in a while. Not every day. It lives when it is too obvious the distance between the living and its image, between what we live and what you see. This feeling we have often tried in recent days. Is becoming more pressing. It calls us to action.
occupations of schools and faculties all the talk about "movement" - both those who supported him and those who denounced him - often seemed out of place. Gelmini, its fucking reform, the public university, the government, among politicians Scazzi ... All this sounded absurd every day, further away from what was going through, stuff of another world.
The buzzwords that come from the coffers of the vans during the marches no longer understand. But what the fuck are they talking about?
We talk about rights, but these rights which set out the constitutions of every country in the world, these millions of pages of laws, contracts, codes that govern every aspect of life, not ever make us happy. But what is the point in this lifetime warranty?
We talk about giving more money to the school everywhere while the money does not lead to destruction and desolation. But money to do what? Researchers, but to find what? How to make more of this earth and its inhabitants? How to make more shit for a lower price? How to live longer by giving up everything that makes life worth living?
They speak to us to make this ruling out and replace it with another less asshole. But pig god, why on earth should we need to be governed?
in occupations, in the streets, assemblies, were asking questions of a different kind. Political issues. Category: How to organize a lunch for all workers in the faculty? How to effectively block the station? Like being with others who struggle anywhere else? How to get rid of the police? From this point of view, this movement was above all a meeting point . And every meeting is a real event. The meeting is what the story is woven. Many boys and girls who first crossed in the corridors of schools are now ignoring a real power . Capable of better and worse. These various paths met sweeping the kingdom of indifference. And when the press and television will not talk more movement, when protesters took to the roofs will be spectacular, what will? This power will remain. That's where the beauty of this strange Italian autumn. That's where the light in the darkness. Recognizing and collecting this light we build the movement that irreversibly bury the old world.
During the blockades, occupations, escapes from the police, the city has changed its face, as if a new map is superimposed on the existing one. During the actions of these days, have learned what are the key issues involved in running the economy of the metropolis. This too will .
Finora spostarsi nella metropoli voleva dire andare da casa a scuola, dal lavoro all'aperitivo. In questi giorni invece, sapersi spostare nella metropoli ha voluto dire saper stravolgere la funzione dei suoi dispositivi, trasformandoli in mezzi atti al nostro scopo. La velocità della metropolitana ha permesso di essere ovunque alla faccia degli sbirri. Gli spazi delle università occupate sono diventati un rifugio e una base di attacco.
Una stazione occupata a Milano, un'autostrada bloccata a Bologna, un esproprio a Genova: da una città all'altra si passa la parola, si diffondono le pratiche. Un'emulazione senza centro, senza direzione. Una staffetta che passa per Londra and to Athens. These images that we see to enhance certainty that the moment we are living has nothing to do with the law Gelmini but part of something much deeper. They are not to be seen as examples to follow, but as for now scattered fragments of the same fire that will never fade.
