BERLUSCONI IN BUNKER, THE OPPOSITION ON THE MOON

Istantanea di una crisi politica infinita che non accenna a finire.

L'Italia è un paese allo sbando. In questi giorni l'esplosione della crisi libica, che peraltro mette in luce la fragilità della politica estera berlusconiana, ha fatto passare in secondo piano le contorsioni della crisi politica nazionale, che però continua ad aggrovigliarsi su se stessa senza che se ne intravedano a breve vere vie d'uscita.

Nel generale impazzimento della politica italiana, dove i festini a «luci rosse» si intrecciano con i continui cambi di casacca a livello parlamentare, non è facile orientarsi. In condizioni «normali» Prime Minister would have already resigned from that day, in 'normal' opposition would have paralyzed the country. In 'normal' the majority party has already fired its leader, under "normal" early elections would have already carried out some time.

But we are not under normal conditions: the PDL is not a real party, but a tool in the hands of his master, the opposition knows only derived by parliamentary vote to fail, the elections are the terror of all parties, not to mention individual parliamentary Berlusconi seems more than a political leader from having a crazy dittatorello saw the inexorable path of sunset. That everything is the result of the horrendous second republic that wanted to build nearly two decades ago does not seem to be of interest to anyone - who ever is interested in similar accounts in this country? - But for this we must remember.

All of these factors describes a situation of paralysis, we do not know what will last. But after months of uncertainty is the time to take a snapshot at least, trying to fix some points, but knowing that new shocks will come soon. These points are:

1. the prospects of Berlusconi,

2. the conditions of the opposition,

3. holding the real power,

4. developments of the economic crisis,

5. signs of awakening social

6. the momentary success of left-wing populism (Vendola)

7. the path of the exodus from the political system as a way needed for the alternative.

For obvious reasons space will proceed in an extremely concise.

1. Berlusconi in the bunker.

survived by the skin of our teeth in the confidence vote on 14 December, cling to a numerical majority is based on parliamentary literally bought, affected by the investigations and judicial processes on the way, aware that they no longer even the relative majority in the country that seemed to preserve not later than one year ago, Silvio Berlusconi has decided to go down in the bunker of resistance to the bitter end. This choice has its own rationality. It 's a desperate choice - Berlusconi is still the fruit - which is however based on the weakness of others. We do not believe that this situation will last too long, but we do not be surprised if he went out for some time.

writer has made in recent months, a forecast error. Be that the prime minister would play the card at the end of elections as the only possibility to continue to govern. Charter risky, but until a few months ago certainly not absurd. The reasoning was that a majority in parliament now politically non-existent, could still be such (relatively speaking of course) at the election. Hypothesis strengthened by the chaos in the block against which it opposed the action and threatening to the polls in parliamentary possible turnaround.

In a short time, especially after the vote of 'confidence' of December 14, the picture is reversed: Berlusconi is now considered to have a slim majority even reinforced, while the elections are seen as the plague and judicial investigations incumbent . That bunker was therefore a choice in a sense forced. A sign of great weakness, but found no real opponents neither his party nor in a league increasingly breathless and without direction. Bunkers do not win wars, if you do not maintain range of motion on the surface. But if the bunker is not attacked, the stalemate can not be brief.

2. The opposition to the Moon

If the desperate resistance "Berlusconi still has a sense, this is due primarily to the absence of any real opposition. For months they have sworn, by the Democratic Party the UDC, there were the numbers in parliament for another government. It took shape "in five minutes" in accordance with the memorable phrase illustrious strategist Pier Ferdinando Casini. At the same time, however, early elections were described as a true national disaster. Today the parties are curiously reversed, and the elections that were just as curious as the numerical majority opposed by the opposition toppling the government, are now required when a majority in botched purchased and has in fact reconstituted.
Mysteries of an opposition that has fallen flat on all fronts. He renounced the mobilization in the country in the name of the operations of the palace, and when the latter went bankrupt have only been able to cling to the legal mess "puttanopoli. The fact is that so-called "opposition" MPs say they know nothing about the great economic and social issues, politics International, on the same institutional reforms - see weak opposition to "federalism", as opposed to matrix-League berlusconi ana certainly not on the substance of decrees in question. Not that the leaders of this ridiculous "opposition" does not talk about these issues. They talk about it, fewer scandals of the court Berlusconi, but when they do talk about it just to reiterate the most ironclad Atlantic, the more financial oligarchies and blind subordination to the top of the ECB, to say sir to Marchionne and Marcegaglia. So, for what little they talk about it - overwhelmed by the demands of the daily theater of "statements" from wars, by a frantic search for new parliamentary maneuvers - would be better to be quiet.

Ultimately, the opposition parties do not mobilize because they have nothing to say about the big issues that could really fill the squares. While social unrest is growing, they are turning to the country as if they were on the moon. The same positive events than women of 13 February can be attributed to a strong and true motion of Berlusconi's rejection of the vision of the woman, not the role of political parties of the center.

3. Who's in charge today in Italy?

If the front of the opposition continues to make water from all sides, it is clear, however, the extreme weakness parliamentary majority. Not so much a question of numbers, but rather for the anxiety that that the pace of the government. The fact that, once again, the scene is occupied by the judicial affairs of Berlusconi, the obsessive search for new laws safeguard premier, says a lot about the health of the government. The fact that it is now in a veritable constitutional crisis (confrontation with the judiciary, increasingly frequent tensions with the presidency of the republic), highlights the uniqueness of the current political crisis: surely the worst of Republican history.

But if this is the situation, those in power in Italy today, really? According to the traditional slow Marxism, in view of the exceptional nature of the situation, we would have expected a stronger field decreased in the dominant classes. It 's true that Marchionne said his "commandments", but only a narrowly economistic view would make us underestimate the significance of the absence of real policy initiatives by major centers of economic power. Centres that have preferred to stand at the window. Why? One answer comes from the last common card from Wikileaks and published by L'Espresso. He wrote in the national elections held in the spring of 2008 the then American ambassador, Richard Spogli, that if he won Veltroni, the thing would have been excellent if it had prevailed Berlusconi it would have been even more. The first is described as an "American" tout-court, the second as a buffoon rather disastrous for his country, but very useful on the bases, Afghanistan, Middle East policy. What is true of international choices, also applies to the economic decisions of the fund. Here, the traditional bipartisan Subo rdinazione to large financial oligarchies, combined with the now shared subordination to the dictates of the European Union, at which time you delegate, constraints, quantity and substance of the ongoing financial maneuvers.

We certainly talk about that in the coming weeks, as it is imminent the important European meeting on the issue public debt. What is useful here to note is the absence of any debate on these issues, which are also the most important for their social consequences. E 'due to a lack of bipartisan sharing European recipes. Sharing (and subordination) not only by the political spectrum, but an entire ruling class in all its ramifications.

If this is the modern Italian state, and also the answer to the question of who really controls within the framework of political and institutional chaos, that's the theme of the bully returns regaining of national sovereignty, which can only be achieved by freeing both NATO as the European Union: issues non a caso banditi da ogni pubblica discussione.

4. Eppure qualcosa si muove...

Il quadro generale non è dunque confortante. L'incendio del mondo arabo appare ancora lontano da noi, ma sarebbe sbagliato non vedere i primi segnali del risveglio sociale. Un risveglio che non avverrà in base ad uno schema ultra-semplificato classe contro classe, ma in maniera sicuramente molto più articolata. Abbiamo più volte parlato del significato degli scontri del 14 dicembre a Roma, ci siamo soffermati sulla portata della resistenza operaia nei referendum di Pomigliano e Mirafiori e sulla riuscita dello sciopero della Fiom del 28 gen naio, si è detto poc'anzi della grande mobilization of women, while another signal comes from the new vitality of important sectors of youth. It 's still a little, but the first symptoms of a social awakening there.

's still a little because in the face of heavy attack represented by Marchionni not been able so far to reach a general strike, because before that happens in North Africa and the mobilization of what was the antiwar movement seems like a zero, because in the face of the authoritarian government there is no response minimally effective.

This is not surprising. The first sparks of the social awakening could not be sufficient to ignite a prairie wet 30-year rule ideology of "we are still in best possible world." We must defeat this ideology, and this will depend on many factors, including subjective ones will be no less important than those that gives us the objectivity of the crisis. But this work of reconstruction of a program and perspective must be based on the reasonable expectation of an upcoming season of struggles.

5. Soon Europe will knock on the door ...

All the foregoing arguments take on a more precise meaning when placed in the general systemic crisis of capitalism, particularly the West. While the main indicators continue to record strong economic stagnation, with the intensification of youth unemployment and the impoverishment of significant segments of the population, time remind the centrality of the debt issue and in particular the so-called "sovereign debt."

We have already said that the issue will come back very topical in the coming days. That of the "debt" is a real weapon of mass destruction. Almost all of the West have been used to prevent the collapse of the financial system, and today that have bankrolled the banking system at no cost to use the bill to present to their peoples, with heavy financial maneuvers that go to hit the working classes, employees and retirees in the first place, but also significant areas of work, "self" is in fact more and more "official." In Italy there was a first taste with the operation was approved in July 2010. Now we are waiting for the second round, while in the meantime the initiative to Marchionne gave an even stronger sign of class during the offensive. We will see what will be the European decisions and see how they will be translated into national financial. We'll get the classic "straw that breaks the camel's back"? I do not rule out at all. If this happens, if the painful social lethargy will really end, then is the time to propose radical measures political and economic alternatives (To see an alternative to disaster - Proposals for a program phase), starting from the European Union and from Service public debt.

6. Zero proposals: the "secret" of the momentary success of Nichi Vendola

In the curious mosaic of the Italian political crisis has taken on a certain level the emergence of the picturesque piece Vendolí anus. After much insisted sull'emozionante line "or primary, or death," the Berlusconi left which is formally still governor of a region that rarely sees this, he decided the so-called "knight move" to exit the impasse in which it was expelled. Nothing, therefore, primary, election coalition enlarged the Third Pole, for an emergency government headed by Rosy Bindi. On the image plane, the only one actually deals with the move Vendola is not stupid. It, however, it highlights the strategic vacuum. Besides the proposed electoral alliance comes at a time in which the election is away, the primaries were already stored for a long time, and as Rosy Bindi was the same president of the Democratic Party to point out that the official candidate is currently Bersani.

Let's say, the temporary waiver of the primaries, the illusionist Pugliese wanted to be drawn of the mess of having to repeat endlessly as the Messiah of that we do not know. A wise tactical choice, he says now suggested by the old deflated balloon that matches the name of Fausto Bertinotti. We were in the shoes of Vendola we are concerned with advice from a similar advisor, but that's another story.

What is interesting, however, since the Messiah has certainly not abandoned its ambitions, it is the policy position that the Vendola taken with the latest moves in an even clearer. Vendola has not only firmly anchored in his personal party (Sel) in the center (which was granted), not only has offered to shore from the left the "holy alliance" that will come in the name dell'antiberlusconismo up to Fini, perhaps having the head Casini, Vendola accompanied his tactical move with absolute zero in programmatic terms. Moreover, this is nothing new, and it is this vacuum program and making it ready for any adventure by the government. A void that would fill with some cliché, with smoky talks of a "politically correct" to the left that finds its place only thanks to the absence of others (the absence of Pd on the one hand, the PRC on the other). In the present political chaos is likely that this peculiar form of left-wing populism with no content may have a momentary success. What we can rule out is that it can represent a political perspective for the medium term. About fifteen years ago he decided to delegate the representation of the left to Bertinotti, today does the same with Vendola. The media spaces that are granted must mean something. But if the former House speaker has been dropped as he fell, dragging with him his creature rainbows, I do not think that the new Rainbow Vendola can withstand the storm that promises social horizon.

7. An exodus must

We addressed Vendola because - like it or not, and we do not like - is the only living thing in the landscape of the Italian left undone. But vendolism or also refers to another issue of strategic nature. After Magri, Ingrao, Cossutta and Bertinotti Vendola is the continuer of institutionalist policy. that of the government with the center (in this case even extended to the right) at all costs. What use is subject to a social movements perspective, all internal to the institutions. Institutions which, moreover, not more than two decades ago.

But it is possible that in the face of a parliament reduced to a brothel, and not the sole responsibility of Berlusconi, does not even hint at a minimum reflection on the character taken by the institutions of this "democracy" is now rotten to the core?

We can not know the next developments in a crisis policy that sometimes occurs with dell'impazzimento characters. What we feel is to exclude any alternative that might satisfy a social policy and that he does not come to terms with the bottom the current political system, which should not be amended, is simply reversed.

is why, beyond the swirl of political quotas, it seems that the tool to advance an alternative perspective that remains popular exodus from this system. Let me be clear, the exodus can not alone be enough. Crucial will be his tangle with the resumption of social struggle, but without this exodus - highlighted by the high rate of abstention in the elections - little hope there would be.

We are reasonably optimistic, however. Many things must come to maturity so that it can open up a new socialist perspective. Many battles will be fought, and on several levels. What seems certain is that there improponibilità of the 'patch', the 'lesser evil', a reform of begging that no longer has any reform to be proposed. Even the interminable political crisis underway confirms it: the system no longer able to purify, to self-correct. Succeeds only in armored vehicles. Even for this Berlusconi has fallen in the bunker: a lack of alternatives in its majority, the parliamentary opposition.

that the exodus continues dunque!, ma non fine a se stesso, bensì come primo passo verso la sollevazione popolare. Che non è dietro l'angolo, ma che potrebbe sorprenderci tutti.

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE REVOLUTION IN LIBYA?

I disordini mediorientali non devono culminare in regimi rivoluzionari. Il loro idealistico romanticismo dei moti può venire rimpiazzato da un Robespierr e o da un Lenin ”. Barak, Ministro della Difesa israeliano

Secondo la vulgata il marxismo è accusato di avere too much faith in human nature. E 'accusation that we reject cordially. We strive to consider the human being in its materiality: it led to the preservation or progress by the same social conditions in which it develops its own consciousness.
But, yes, one thing is true. Marxists believe firmly that these social conditions may change rapidly inertia, accumulated over decades or even centuries, in motion. We believe that this process will be on rare occasions so strong as to generate sudden changes in the consciousness of individuals, relations between classes, deleting a few days in states and regimes. These moments are rare, but only in the sense that often require a long incubation for its development.
are revolutions, the real motor of history. The revolutions are to Marxism as an eruption is to volcanology, earthquake, the theory of plate tectonics. A volcanologist never ceases to classify a volcano erupts because for centuries, a seismologist records the small shock preparing massive earthquakes. So we are revolutionaries, including how to prepare the moments of inertia of the contradictions that lead to revolutionary explosion. The North Africa that we know so far is no more. It was not changed by any force except by pure intervention of the masses on the political scene . Those same masses, raw, unorganized, unaware, are now the force more alive on earth. And, yes, all this confirms that revolutionary politics is the most real thing there is in the world.
witnessing but a strange distortion. Another distortion that we do not know how to classify daughter of defeats and preparation of new defeats. For those who are accustomed to conceive the spirit of communism as a pure system, as the word of the omniscient leader, such as degree of a decorated general or as a system held up by a powerful intelligence apparatus, the masses are simply incapable of autonomy, their conscience, their own courage and even his own ability cos truzione. The distortion is in this: schools of thought fail to recognize even nominally communist revolution. The story is not moved by the mass movement, but by the conspiracy of powerful equipment. If a nation wakes up, someone must have conspired for this to happen. If a state structure collapses, it must be for the plot of another state apparatus.
This explains what happens then to Libya. Nevertheless, he ceases to be explainable any revolutionary process, whose characteristic is precisely to destroy the existing power without possessing any weapon that is not the initial mobilization of the masses.
If we consider that all power is in contradiction with other reactionary powers as reactionary, the revolution can still appear as a party game. The Revolution of 1905 weakened Russia, contributing to his defeat against Japan. The revolution of February 1917 gave power to a government led by a tsarist prince. And after the revolution of October 1917 did not favor the Central Powers, Austria and Germany, freeing them from a war front? For years, nationalist vulgate has presented the whole Russian revolution as a conspiracy of the German Kaiser, Lenin sent specifically to trigger the collapse of the enemy. The paradox is this: States that are not strong enough to defeat their opponents, they become all-powerful remote control to the point where millions of people, much to be preferred unleash a revolution rather than win a war.
We do not deny that imperialism has in his arms, propaganda, or that this propaganda in some cases may include the development of fake parties, movements and even political protests. It 's the case of movement of opposition to Chavez in 2002 or the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. But the consistency of these movements speaks for itself. The anti-Chavista clowns would not have withstood a barrage of farts, let alone to regulate aviation. The courage and the hysteria of imperialism-directed movements is proportional to the network of money, underworld gangs, mass-media hype that surrounds them. Without these elements, just melt in the sun. Such movements have always only one rule: the mass must remain passive even when it appears in mobilization. It must be seen quickly with media hype and then disappear into nothingness, leaving the field to the specialists of the coup. If inter alia, a whole population was willing to mobilize themselves to death against a company or a government, would in any case to explain how this society has allowed this development. And 'this is what we see in Libya?
The state disintegrates
This article does not claim the last hour. As we write the clash in the streets of Tripoli. The Gaddafi regime has not yet fallen, but little or nothing could save him. Gaddafi has a greater degree of independence from imperialism. Without a doubt. But this is far from making the situation more manageable for imperialism itself, has made it more complicated.
The U.S. has long plotted to remove Mubarak. Wikileaks documents to prove it. But they did not prepare for a revolution, but to prevent it. After a series of vacillations have not asked Mubarak to go to radicalize the revolution itself. With Gaddafi this was not possible. The economic interests of the clique Gaddafi are closely connected to the control of political power in Libya, the ability to use this power to negotiate agreements on oil, or migration.
This explains the ferocity with which the regime has decided to resist. And he had to do based on two typical elements of who does not have support among the population: Aviation and the use of mercenaries. The bombing is typical of those who can not fight his enemy on the ground. It 'actually more appropriate weapon to a foreign army of occupation. The rest are foreign mercenaries in the "patriot" Gaddafi is serving. It would come only 4 thousand on February 15. Aviation and mercenaries have one thing in common: for logistical reasons or language do not enter into line with the crowd. I am therefore the last repressive areas on which to build.
Imperialism understand what this means: under the blows of this senseless resistance, Gaddafi is not favoring the defense of the State but on the contrary it is accelerating the disintegration. The U.S. and Europe are interested in removing Gadhafi, but want a state apparatus to lean on. That is why such a hurry to condemn, in trying to forge ties with some of the insurgents in the immediate area.
But for the moment the state apparatus is in full decay. It is at the top, where the mutiny is even close circle around leader Gaddafi: Tuesday would be dissociated from Gaddafi also the Minister of the Interior. This is especially in the liberated areas. There is almost a law. The more areas of the state are slow to differ from one system and remove the top con una riforma o una congiura di palazzo, tanto più un movimento popolare tende a identificare il regime con lo Stato e rimuovendo uno, fa piazza pulita anche del secondo. Così si può dire che rivoluzione e semplice cambio di regime sono spesso due processi paralleli in cui uno cerca di battere l'altro sul tempo.
Tutti gli organi di informazione descrivono le zone dove il regime è crollato come prive di Stato. L'ordine è garantito da comitati rivoluzionari, le armi sono in mani ai civili che le usano al servizio delle decisioni collettive di tali comitati. Il Sole 24 Ore di venerdì 25 febbraio – descrive così Bengasi: “ i comitati popolari che hanno assunto l'amministrazione di diversi quartieri del centro, unable to maintain order and security. Several soldiers and police passed by the insurgents. (...) At the gates of the city you come across in the first military checkpoint. We send two leaflets: 'Dear Muslim brothers, shooting in the air scares women, elderly and children and it's dangerous'. The document warns of the consequences of the misuse of small arms and heavy in the hands of inexperienced young people, should hand over their weapons to the committees of the revolution and he concludes that to save the ammunition to counter any attack. 'We expect it but we are ready' concludes that a lawyer, still dressed in his robe for a few days suddenly Alert . "
Gaddafi anti-imperialist?
What reason would the imperialists to start a similar process? Gaddafi was not - we have already said - one of their puppet. Forced them to pay duty for doing business in Libya. But these deals were made and handsomely than ever before. Since 2003 Libya has signed more than ever its ties with imperialism, with plans to privatize 360 \u200b\u200bstate companies. In 2006, Libya has asked to join the World Trade Organization. The penetration of foreign capital has accelerated rapidly over the past two years now and never needed the stability of the regime to deepen. The recent agreements between Italy and Gaddafi, inaugurated by the center and made folk known to the public by Berlusconi, I'm just a demonstration.
GDP depends on Libyan oil production by 60%. International economic advisers had begun to invade Libya to develop other sectors of the economy. In particular, tourism had great growth potential. Economic relations were reciprocal and mutual. The Gaddafi family presented itself as the intermediary for the robbery of their country by imperialism and to invest the money "committee" in the same Western companies. Such a process is clearly visible in Italy because, for once, our imperialism was well placed at the banquet. According to the Marcegaglia, the Italian capital exports to Libya for 2 and a half billion euro and imports for about 10 billion. Italy depends on oil for 24% and 12% by gas from Libya. Impregilo is committed to contracts for over € 1 billion in infrastructure construction in Libya and Federmeccanica says that 1% of the sector depends on Libya. In turn, the Gaddafi family through the investment fund Lia (Libyan Investment Authority) owns the 2% stake in Finmeccanica, 14% of company-Retelit Telecom Italy -, 7.5% of Juventus and as much as 21% Olcese. It is estimated that only thirty-sixth of the investments made in Libya would be carried out. For capital, the Gaddafi regime was a certainty without danger.
Yet the Libyan regime remains una confusa fraseologia rivoluzionaria e antimperialista a cui Gheddafi non ha rinunciato nemmeno in questi giorni. Ma questo, lungi dallo spiegare la natura attuale di questo regime, ne spiega le origini. Secondo la leggenda, il giovane colonnello dell'aviazione, Gheddafi, sarebbe stato incaricato di accompagnare in volo dei dignitari libici ad un ricevimento di una compagnia petrolifera nel deserto. Al ricevimento sarebbe rimasto colpito dallo sfarzo e dal servilismo dei funzionari libici, decidendo di effettuare un colpo di Stato. Così tra il 31 agosto e il 1 settembre 1969 depone Re Idris. Il nuovo regime è ispirato dal panarabismo progressista di Nasser e procede immediatamente alla nazionalizzazione delle risorse petrolifere, costringendo negli anni tutte le large companies to renegotiation on the basis of new balance of power their penetration in the country.
regimes such as Gaddafi meet in a distorted way to a historical law. In less developed capitalist countries, national economic development can be ensured only in the fight against imperialism. But this is nothing more than the capitalist market in its highest stage of development. That's why there can be no struggle against imperialism that it touches the very mechanisms of the market. That is why a revolution in anti-colonial and anti-imperialism can only win if it becomes seamless, continuously, in a kind of socialist revolution. Gaddafi not
the interpreter is aware of this process, but the expression is distorted. It 's the price to be paid because the colonial revolution has not been classically carried out by communist forces. But if Gaddafi is only a distortion of historical law, this law may not escape. Today, his regime does not collapse because too against imperialism, but because it too closely. The increased penetration of international capital has made it more dependent on the Libya crisis of international capital.
There are several paradoxical argument between those who argue that the U.S. would prepare a table revolution: the riots were caused by inflation erupted as a result of the printing of paper money made by the Federal Reserve to jump-start the economy. It 's true, but far from demonstrating the existence of a deliberate plan, shows that the magician has lost control of the imperialist forces it generates. Any remedy to the crisis it prepares another.
We therefore faced with the preparation of a military intervention? Several commentators say. We are not in the minds of strategists American or European, but a war or military occupation of Libya would be madness, even from the standpoint of imperialism. First, even the U.S. has the strength or human resources to support it. Spend $ 7 billion a month just for their presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. But above all the landing of a single department of American soldiers radicalize r ivoluzione across North Africa. It is much more likely that there is an attempt to penetrate more focused, disguised as police operations, defense of the foreign factories or humanitarian missions to bring food or medication. That said, the Communists will be at the forefront of opposition to any imperialist intervention in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and in any other country in the Arab world.
intervention of NATO, however, initially sought to suppress the insurgency in Benghazi and in all other cities that have turned against Gaddafi, to restore the capitalist order.
What next? All major
bourgeois commentators denounced the possibility that in the aftermath of the Libyan regime remains Islamic fundamentalism and the disintegration of state of Libya.
sociologist Khaled Allam, a former member of the Democratic Party and now the smell of the Third Pole, with several appearances in Libero and Il Giornale, thunders from the columns of the Sole 24 Ore: " tribal and ethnic fragmentation can lead to secession and promote ' infiltration of Al-Qaeda . Curiously, it is also what is said Gaddafi. The newspaper of the Confederation is concerned that the new advances in the Arab countries that it can resonate with the old: the age-old schism between Sunni and Shia Islam.
We do not deny this absolute perspective. Just say this: in the mouth of the bourgeoisie, but these concerns are not threats. The bourgeoisie played a double role here. With one hand, the alarm sounds and the other is ready to start the fire. The territorial disintegration, with the splitting of Tripolitania from Cyrenaica, tribal or religious fanaticism are the exact cards that imperialism will play to divert the revolution from its social basis. These scenarios do not emerge as legitimate children of the revolution, but as a product of his defeat. In several
left these days shaking the risk of a 1979 Iranian model: a social revolution and hijacked hijacked by a monstrous theocratic regime. We note in passing enabling short-circuit logic. The same groups who support the Stalinist regime in Iran in the name of his anti-imperialist role, Libya denounced the risk of a new 1979. What happened in 1979 was not the natural flow of that revolution, but the result of mistakes of the Communist Party of Iran during the revolution itself. In the name of the theory of two stages of the anti-imperialist unity, the party formed an alliance and paved the way for fundamentalist forces. Today
these revolutions are further clean sweep of those theories. The revolution in Tunisia game has not been reflected in a strengthening of Qaddafi or the government of Iran, but in their weakness. These regimes tremble at the revolution to pari dei fantocci americani in Arabia Saudita o in Baharain. E questo la dice più lunga di qualsiasi trattato di geopolitica. E Israele? Non dovrebbe forse gioire nel vedere la Lega Araba scossa da simili convulsioni? Israele è impaurita tanto quanto la monarchia saudita. Prova a esorcizzare la paura gridando al pericolo iraniano. E l'Iran attraversa il canale di Suez con proprie navi militari. Ma entrambi i paesi cercano solo di tornare alla propria normalità, dirottando l'attenzione dal fronte sociale a quello militare.
Riconoscere la rivoluzione per quello che è non ci serve a vincere una disputa teorica, ma a imbastire un'azione e una prospettiva pratica. Tutte le forze mondiali si getteranno sulla rivoluzione libica per spingerla su un path rather than another. It would be paradoxical if the Communists did not do likewise. After the political liberation movements in North Africa will begin to address the problem of social liberation. Those who have questioned his life he did not to return to neighborhoods with 70% unemployment, lack of schools and universities, with salaries that reach $ 400 a month for an engineer. The revolution will permanently from the struggle against the old regime, than against imperialism and against their own ruling class.
In Tunisia and Egypt these developments appear to be classic and certainly more evident than in Libya. We do not know if these revolutions will win. The midwife can not provide the analysis of the child during birth, much less assume its future work or school. It is primarily concerned with encouraging childbirth.

SOLLEVIAMOCI!

Since a young engineering graduate who make a living selling fruit in the street committed suicide in Tunis, and then one hundred thousand young Tunisians have risen and have driven the tyrant, who is not stupid to have understood: there is only one alternative to the barbarism of suicide to depression. That alternative is the uprising.
Rising does not mean violence but intransigent assertion of his dignity, refusing di collaborare con l'oppressore, pieno dispiegamento della potenza dell'intelligenza sociale.
Anche in Italia è giunto il momento di liberarsi dalla violenza della precarietà dello sfruttamento e della miseria esistenziale nel solo modo possibile, quello che ci hanno insegnato i giovani tunisini. Rifiutiamoci di collaborare con l'oppressore, occupiamo le piazze le stazioni le banche, finché il tiranno non se ne sarà andato.
Nella scena politica italiana non esiste alcuna alternativa. La sola cosa che sa fare l'opposizione è raccogliere firme, dopo aver fatto finora da scendiletto del tiranno. Ma anche in Egitto e in Tunisia non c'era alternativa fin quando la società era piegata a obbedire al tiranno e ai suoi ruffiani. Solo la sollevazione, dis piegando la forza dell'intelligenza collettiva permetterà a una nuova opposizione di prendere forma e diventare alternativa .
Per questo io, Franco Berardi, docente precario di sociologia della comunicazione ho deciso che il 14 marzo, dedicherò l'inizio del mio corso all'Accademia di belle arti di Brera dove insegno, all'unico argomento urgente di questi tempi: come si può difendere la civiltà sociale dalla violenza del capitale finanziario, come si può difendere la dignità dal governo di mafia dei puttanieri, come può la nuova generazione liberarsi dall'inferno della miseria precaria?
Lunedì 14 marzo, alle ore 12, in un'aula di Brera (Via Brera, Milan).

How to Genoa a decade ago .... On December 14, in Rome, the police also used firearms against the procession of students.

Three shots. Three, at least, is free and able to show the "smoking gun." It was Dec. 14, the day of distrust and engineering students to the Berlusconi government, pardoned, however, by a vote of the House. The scene is that of the square at the intersection of Manor and shops of Via Astalli. For several long minutes, the protesters were faced with the squad of carabinieri that barred the way to Palazzo Grazioli, the residence of the Prime Minister in front of which the Knight has claimed that not stop even more buses. The coping, taken from many angles, from professionals and media activists, seems determined by the same mode of administration of the square. Place in that way the tanks seems more like a provocation, an brutality among the many who need a real defensive. In the minutes considered flying bottles, stones and even some stick behind the falls where two armored Bombone a stadium. Before and after that two explosions bang are clearly distinguishable from gunshot wounds. The photos that we publish are from a preview video so far unpublished. The flame immortality would leave doubts about the trajectory of the projectile: at eye level. The fire started from behind the shields posted on the bonnet of one of two armored vehicles that blocked the road to gut behind the Palazzo Venezia. In some shots you acknowledge and policemen, with his helmet lighter, blue instead of blue, the leader of ps command of them in civilian clothes. Other material, shot from different angles show some soldiers with a gun in his hand and attached to the thigh. Several witnesses recall having heard the explosion and had seen and staff in public policy bent, probably to collect shells. "The images that today public Liberation - said Paolo Ferrero, Secretary di Rifondazione comunista - sono inequivocabili. Di nuovo come a Genova nel 2001 le forze dell'ordine sparano ad altezza d'uomo durante una manifestazione. A Roma non è successo l'irreparabile ma questo non rende meno grave la questione. Adesso capiamo meglio le parole di Maroni che nei giorni delle manifestazioni studentesche di dicembre sosteneva che ci poteva "scappare il morto" . Vogliamo sapere da lui che ordini sono stati dati alle forze dell'ordine per la gestione dell'ordine pubblico, se vi sono state inchieste interne riguardo all'uso di armi da fuoco e che risultati hanno dato. Ministro Maroni, vogliamo conoscere la verità, perché l'Italia è un paese democratico ed ha diritto di sapere».

RITES USELESS AND MEANINGS REMOVED

Come ogni anno il giorno dell’8 marzo si ripete (sempre più stancamente) la festa della donna, che nel 2011 coincide con un’altra ricorrenza molto celebrata, il Carn evale, con cui condivide forme rituali e modalità gestuali di segno squisitamente edonistico e commerciale, frutto di un processo di totale svuotamento, rimozione o travisamento del valore più autentico e profondo dell’idea di partenza, cioè del senso più antico di una festa laica come l’8 marzo, o di una tradizione pagana e popolare come il Carnevale.
Il valore storico, religioso, laico o politico di una ricorrenza, se non è stato definitivamente azzerato, volgarizzato or misunderstood, is only the outer frame, an ephemeral and bloated, but what matters is the primacy of the god of money and goods, the consumer standard practice that destroys any ability to judge and critical thinking, alienating and mystifying people's lives .
In the consumer society such occurrences, whether they are of religious origin, such as Christmas and Easter, pagan origin of light as the Mardi Gras, or politically motivated as 25 April and 1 May, are an endless series of purely commercial practices , having no other value than that on the most stupid and vulgar commodification and the extraction of economic profit individual.
It is a monotonous and repetitive sequence of ceremonies reduced to ritual gestures, and worn routine that enshrine the supremacy of the market and profit, the statement of hedonism and cretinism mass, which are repeated with the purchase gifts, the consummation of the lunch or dinner, dancing and the sale of the buzz, in a context of mass conformism and numbness of conscience in the name of absolute debauchery and frivolity, in the exaltation of the disengagement and reflux in sphere selfish, futile and petty bourgeois individualism.
us pause to reflect on the true meaning (now removed) on March 8. I referring to the meaning of political, intellectual and social event that gave rise to that, not surprisingly introduced in the scenery and habitat of the socialist movement, that is the fertile ground of the struggles and the reasons for the international working class, thanks to an idea of \u200b\u200bRosa Luxemburg and Clara Zetkin, two women of great thought and personality that were communist activists of the revolutionary proletariat. This needs a brief historical reconstruction of the "International Women's Day" to understand the original meaning that over time has been lost, erased, devalued or trivialized.
During the VII Congress of the Second International in 1907, attended by delegates from from various nations, including top leaders of the time as socialist Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin and Lenin, they also discussed the claim of universal suffrage extended to women. On this issue, Congress passed a motion in which the social partners undertake to implement universal suffrage for women. The first "International Women's Day" was officially celebrated in the United States February 28, 1909, while in some European countries was held for the first time March 19, 1911 on the advice of Clara Zetkin. The demonstrations were interrupted by the outbreak of World War I until the March 8, 1917 in the Russian capital the women led a huge demonstration to demand the end of conflitto. In tal modo l'8 marzo del 1917 sancì l'inizio della Rivoluzione bolscevica in Russia. Per stabilire un giorno comune a tutte le nazioni, nel 1921 la Conferenza internazionale delle donne comuniste decise che l'8 marzo si celebrasse la “Giornata internazionale dell'operaia”.
Tenendo dunque presente le ragioni e gli avvenimenti che ispirarono l’istituzione di tale giornata, occorre ribadire e rilanciare con forza l’idea che l’emancipazione femminile sarà possibile solo in una società totalmente affrancata dal bisogno e dallo sfruttamento materiale dell’uomo (e quindi della donna) da parte di altri uomini, vale a dire in una società di liberi ed eguali, in un sistema che is actually egalitarian and communist.
The Women's Day, as it was conceived and created a hundred years ago, is now completely meaningless, reduced to being an empty ritual, and unnecessary, is the unequivocal confirmation of the triumph of capitalism, the exaltation of bourgeois ideology and mercantilist its social liturgies, the ecstasy of the god of money and commodity fetishism, a mass-cult that celebrates the apotheosis of mindless hedonism and more alienating.
The capitalist system has a power evil can absorb and neutralize any value and every feeling, the meaning of any event, action or idea, whether the initiative or the movement more audacious and subversive. In other words, the system mass consumerism is the real and true fascism, totalitarianism, an omnivorous monster that can absorb and devour everything, as Pasolini claimed more than 35 years ago.

ENGINE AND BODY ... BEYOND THE MIST

The fateful date draws near, my thirteenth marathon is imminent and the last tests have completely changed my expectations ..
A month ago I felt like a car without scarcassata determination and with an engine that ran only to a cylinder, then maybe because the slightly longer days and warm this February, my muscle fibers are awakened and paripasso also the head is adequate to suffer a bit 'more, resulting in accelerating the pace of the race.
The "frame", weighed down by a relentless greed that has brought me to eat panettone and sweets in quantity is returning stinking swine in those blessed 68kg, representing my ideal weight up!
Given the period of discharge, I cut km with the shoes and I threw up cross-training activities, a beautiful day at the pool where I drove an hour just dragging 2000m arms with the help of pool.boy ( floating infracoscia ") and a couple of tanks of sunshine beautiful legs .. I write because it was snowing outside and having the structure of the glass walls was a certain effect to be soaked in chlorine to 30 ° while all around you saw the white flakes covering everything .
Then I parked in Val di Fiemme, where the sun is too hot even accompanied me in the last skiing at one of stagione.Fino the bottom of the slopes was nice compact, then inevitably in the afternoon si spappolava e le gambe hanno lavorato molto di più per impostare le giuste traiettorie,costringendomi ad un piacevole potenziamento muscolare dei quadricipiti femorali..
La vera sfida è stata rinunciare allo strudel con vaniglia calda,piatto gettonatissimo al rifugiò dove nel tardo pomeriggio ho fatto sosta ludico-gastronomica..le ripetute di forchetta e coltello su speck ed asiago mi sono sembrate sufficienti visti i precedenti spuntini al sacco a base di pavesini ripieni al miele,barretta energetica e cotognata(mattonelle di marmellata della celebre mela).
Credo che quando la fatica mi morderà i polpacci in quel di Roma il mio pensiero andrà a questo mio atto di forza..e cavoli se sono riuscito a non mangiare quel capolavoro di altissima pastry thing will never finish a Mara;))
workouts per week closed with a solo halfway under 4 'per km (1:23 a.m. "40" for the geeks of the time) with a load in the legs of 60km in total courses week.
Now, as usual, comes the sad moment where the scale has more of kilometers, but the increase in the fuel should be easier this time to keep the tank empty.

the alleged "bad apples" AND SIACALLAGGIO

" I am sure that the weapon will take immediate steps to contribute to the establishment of liability and isolate any bad apples that the n any event, can undermine the confidence that the Romans have for the police , "this is the comment ( laws) of the complaint of a woman Alemanno, S., who said she was raped in the police station of Quadraro in Rome, while he was under arrest after stealing clothes from a supermarket. Offense for which, frankly, it seems absurd to have to spend a night in jail. Accused of rape, perhaps with different roles, three policemen and a policeman were out of service (what he was doing at night in police station is unknown): At least one policeman was the author of the rape, the other conniving and complicity .
A story that vile disgusting, though not surprising. We know that while it was stopping anything can happen: the story of Stephen Cucchi, Aldo Bianzino, Marcello Lonzi if there still were needed, they clearly demonstrated. We know that be afraid of ending up in police station, not to run the streets at night .
Make a political argument in this case is not simple. It is not easy because we are talking about a woman raped and forced to submit to sexual intercourse. A woman who will be marked forever by this experience. But is paramount: in a country where the line between outrage and the political manipulation - as demonstrated by many statements - is often fleeting, we are not certain of us to go beyond it.
There are many thoughts that this episode raises many and tangled: This case is emblematic, because embodies all the analysis you can do on account of the rapes and to the low value that is given to the violence of the police. The most obvious reflection, of course, is on the way in which women are viewed by the alleged "law enforcement" by journalists, politicians. By the priests. By the Italians in general. Do not forget, in fact, that in Italy until 1996 (!) Rape was a crime against morality (!) And not against the person (!!): this speaks volumes about the "deep culture" of the country.
First, although we are all guaranteed, we can only point out that in cases of rape is always put into question the word women, namely the victims, especially when the men accused of violence people are considered "respectable" society. So here's "republic" - the newspaper that a few weeks ago was promoting a collective awareness of women it - from a conditional to another, talking about "alleged rape " there seems to This newspaper has expressed the same caution last week, when he used the rapes took place in Rome to accuse Alemanno, but on this we will return later. Same trend, then, in the joint communiqué of the prosecutor and the commander of the carabinieri Ferrara Mezzavilla, where it says that she would "engage in sexual relations while he was inside the station, under arrest ": "engage in sexual relations"?! Now they call it the violence? Even more shameful, then, that those doubts persist despite one of the police has claimed to have had sexual relations with S.
We come then to the "justification" used by the police involved: one of them admitted, yes, having sex with S. (Who had described the tattoos, leaving no room for doubt), but the woman was "consensual." This attempt to "justification" is really emblematic as a normal person can think that a woman in an obvious position of inferiority (he was under arrest, in a security cell at the mercy of those police officers) may elect to have sex? How could he say no? Here, the fact that the police involved might think that this is a justification speaks volumes on the view that "law enforcement" - and, unfortunately, still too many Italian men - were women. On their being or not being "consensual", the value of their "no".
But they put their newspapers. They did a lot of talk, in fact, the alleged absence of evidence of violence sul corpo di S. Ma come si può pensare che la violenza e gli abusi siano solo fisici? Quando si è in una condizione di inferiorità non bastano forse le minacce a far accettare atti che non si vorrebbero compiere? Non basta la paura a porre fine a ogni tentativo di resistenza? La violenza è anche psicologica.
Il procedere di queste “giustificazioni” avanza di pari passo con una demolizione della vittima: ed ecco che S. viene descritta come una “sbandata” ( leggi ) che avrebbe istigato i “poveri” carabinieri ( leggi ). E, come ci ha ricordato monsignor Bertoldo, non ci dimentichiamo che indurre in tentazione un uomo è peccato, e « se una donna cammina in a particularly sexy or provocative, the event has some responsibility and I mean that from the theological point of view also groped and sin. Therefore, even a woman walking or dressing in a provocative and provokes reactions ccessive or violent temptation to sin! ( laws).
While the victim is criminalized, the torturers are enhanced and instead described as decent people, " are three good boys, well liked by everyone in the area in which they operate, both by residents and traders ',' are three very capable colleagues and young "say their colleagues, while the General Command of the Carabinieri focuses l’attenzione sul loro foglio disciplinare immacolato, quasi fosse una garanzia di qualità.
E, evidentemente, questi tre carabinieri (dell’agente della municipale non si sa niente, ma è ancora in servizio a Roma!) sono considerati tanto “bravi” che l’Arma ha pensato bene di trasferirli altrove (Torino, Milano e Cagliari), destinandoli non più a servizi territoriali ma a «servizi di ordine pubblico nell’ambito dei reparti mobili».

Ora, oltre a inorridire all’idea di trovarci davanti in piazza degli stupratori, non possiamo far a meno di notare almeno una certa diversità di trattamento: una donna accusata di un furto all’Oviesse viene tenuta in stato arrest of four men accused of rape continue to do their job, to ensure "public safety" and 'public order'! And speaking of people who, even if - for some technicality - they were found guilty of rape, would still have been drinking whiskey in service and having sex with an inmate! How do you send police to maintain law and order who drink large amounts of super-alcohol while on duty? As lucidity can guarantee?
We come then to the more strictly political thinking on the matter. Aleman no, in 2008, won the electoral challenge that he did become mayor of Rome just safety issues related to rape, that of a student of Lesotho is committed by a man of Romanian nationality ( laws). On that occasion, a few days after the balloting that was to decide the new mayor, we have heard Alemanno said that "aggression the girl to the train station the retort, so dramatically similar to what the victim has seen Mrs. Reggiani Tor Fifth, back to the fore the issue of security in Rome, ignored by the administration of the center. Veltroni and Rutelli would do well to examine their responsibility for the proliferation of camps. You have to be ironclad. If you do not imposes the principle of zero tolerance this city is not saved, "while Rutelli, meanwhile, invited people to avoid political exploitation ( laws) and his proposal is more stupid that the history of human memories, to equip the Women of a "bracelet anti-rape". Even harder was then that the League's Castle, but very glad that the author of the rape was a Rumanian, who asked " Justice Minister, Interior Minister and the judiciary once and begin to interpret and apply the popular sentiment with the utmost severity the laws that already exist to protect our society from this horde barbarians who for too long for the country darts with impunity. " Here, in the light of statements like these, can not do the particular words of disgust Alemanno against police accused of rape: zero tolerance only when the culprits are foreigners? And why Colonel Mezzavilla - that the violence suffered by St. " is a fact that takes nothing away from the efficiency and dedication of thousands of policemen who work in Rome. [...] Because events like that contrast with the thousands of acts of solidarity that the police do every day "- and Aleman - who says that this episode can not" undermine the confidence that the Romans have for the police "- have not done in 2008, a similar speech for the Romanians and immigrants in general? Why Alemanno has never said that rape of a student in Lesotho was not to undermine the confidence and respect for the Romans to the immigrants? Because if three policemen raping a woman is only "bad apples" and if you do three immigrants, all immigrants are rapists and criminals? Because if an immigrant from Romania - with a criminal record like the three policemen! - Raping a woman you want to close the camps (?) And if you have three police officers to do so, it is proposed to close the barracks? This is, of course, questions rhetoric.
This observation opens up and then another, which widens the field. As is clear from the exploitation of the rape of the girl in Lesotho and the murder of Giovanna Reggiani, in fact, violence - especially when committed against women - have no value as a means of political manipulation. We can not, in fact, that extend the reflection Alemanno also made to the Democratic Party, among others guilty silence on the rape of S. Quadraro of the police station (do not know whether they have made statements about it, but we have not found). And the more guilty in the light of statements that its exponents have done after three stupri in dieci giorni che ci sono stati a Roma alla fine di febbraio, utilizzati e strumentalizzati per attaccare Alemanno. Ricordate quelli che nel 2008 chiedevano di non strumentalizzare lo stupro della studentessa del Lesotho? Bene, eccoli nel 2011 a organizzare sit-in di protesta contro Alemanno, ritenuto responsabile delle violenze sulle donne, utilizzando le stesse parole di Alemanno di tre anni fa: ( leggi e leggi ). La stessa posizione è presa, ovviamente, da “repubblica” ( leggi ), secondo cui « per le donne che vivono a Roma, ormai, la paura è una compagna inseparabile di ogni notte » ( leggi ). Alemanno, dal canto suo, parla of "unnecessary and vulgar profiteering Roman politician of the left" (read ). Hard to blame him, but you can not forget that jackal on women's bodies there he became mayor.
The message that is run by two political parties more severe ndi of Italy - Pd and Pdl - is so clear and shared: do not word that, as we wrote two years ago (read ), over 90% of gender violence occurring in the family (read , laws and laws ), use the rapes to be only propaganda when they allow to attack a political opponent, inciting campaigns Safety of convenience against immigrants, skirt the issue when the people responsible are considered "nice" as the police. Before you organize events in which claim respect for the dignity women and then use their bodies and experiencing violence as a means of political propaganda. We do suck, and let us never stop.

's who is opposed to the Libyan revolution on behalf of an alleged "anti-imperialism."

Also, in the history of the labor movement, the great events of the fight class accounted for real watershed, determining the displacement from one side or the other organizations to refer it for various reasons.
We have had a plastic representation in recent weeks, compared to the revolutions that have shaken violently in North Africa. For example, most of the sectors of Italian reformism has painted the revolution that toppled the regime of Mubarak in Egypt as "absolutely democratic," "peaceful, organized by the" people on Facebook and Twitter ", making it almost pass as a mobilization organized by a purple people ... a bit 'bigger, a mobilization of "spontaneous", but in which the army was to have an important role, so that he comes to believe the fall of Mubarak as a "coup" of the armed forces! The goal, of course, is to fly as much as possible on the leadership of the masses and their impact force when the streets grew more radical and collided head-on with the powers that be, given that this conclusion conflicts with the rhetoric of pacifism and of "non-violence."
But from another side, something similar is happening at this time compared to the revolution in Libya, eroding the foundations of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi ultraquarantennale. This time is what
stalinismoo remains the world to advance out a very particular that diversifies revolutions developed in Tunisia and Egypt from that in place at this time in Libya: the first, however, downgraded to the rank of "riots," they had nothing to do with the Libyan considered, at best, a " rebellion against the regime of Gaddafi . More generally, this area of \u200b\u200bthe left is characterized by the inability to pronounce the word "revolution" to describe the processes that are shaking the North Africa. Taking
build on "Reflections" that almost every day are awarded by their tutelary deity, Fidel Castro, the leaders of this current international policy - that can be called "Castro-Chavez" - insist on alleged differences that exist between the mobilizations and the Tunisian and Libyan Egyptian who preceded them. The assumption of these differences to a feared attack by covert imperialist war "humanitarian intervention" is a short step. So the logical conclusion: all together, passionately, in a vague alleged anti-imperialist camp!
It is, quite evidently, a a thesis, as outlined, it is crude and coarse. And that is probably why a small organization, the diverse world of Stalinism, the Communist Network - unknown to most people from the political side but from the union because it is active (without the knowledge of most of the activists), the majority of the union executive Usb - tried to give it dignity through a theoretical article Sergio Carara, published on its website.

revolution or civil war? Alternative-fetched
The beginning of the text takes up the theme of so-called "differences" between events that are characterizing the processes of North Africa to establish immediately, so trenchant, that Libya is not theater of a popular uprising, but a civil war.
would be tempted to smile for the accuracy of this conclusion, since it is not uncommon (and is by no means contradictory) that will parallel a revolution or a civil war that unfolds on the first sheet to the bottom of the second. Suffice it to note that the 1917 Russian: what triggers the White Army against the Bolsheviks but a civil war? Or, to come to more recent times, there was civil war in the theater where the Sandinista revolution took place?
So, the fact that in Libya there is now a civil war does not offend absolutely with the conclusion according to which one is in place - like Tunisia or Egypt - A revolution. On the other hand, perhaps the protesters who occupied the streets of Tripoli had not read the article in the Communist network if shouting the slogan " as Tripoli Tunis, Tripoli as Cairo! . On the contrary, should have read it and shared the second son of Gaddafi, Saif-al-Islam ... if we record a convergence of opinion is not unique (for the reasons that we discuss in more detail below) between the article and the general here said he had expressed in a televised speech that, in fact, "is not Tripoli or Tunis Cairo . The

presunte differenze socio-economiche
Per supportare l’argomentazione centrale del testo, Cararo sottolinea che “ in Libia le condizioni della rivolta popolare mancavano di un aspetto non certo secondario (decisivo invece negli altri Paesi arabi): quello economico‑sociale. I livelli di vita dei libici erano infatti sensibilmente migliori di quelli negli altri Paesi. Il 70% della forza lavoro era impiegata nello Stato, i prezzi sussidiati e le rendite petrolifere molto più socializzate ”. Di qui la conclusione: “ In Libia non possiamo parlare di rivolta popolare ma di una spaccatura dentro il gruppo dirigente della Jamahiriya che – diversamente dal conflitto … nelle piazze tunisine ed egiziane – ha portato immediatamente ad uno scontro militare feroce… che ha avuto nella regione storicamente ribelle della Cirenaica islamica la sua base di forza ”.
Una simile congerie di sciocchezze si scontra con la realtà dei fatti: una realtà che mostra gigantesche mobilitazioni di una popolazione che, a dispetto delle enormi risorse petrolifere su cui galleggia il Paese, è segnata dalla miseria determinata dai provvedimenti economici adottati dal regime su impulso del Fondo Monetario Internazionale (Fmi). A partire dal 1992 col trattato commerciale firmato con la Russia, e grazie a una serie di tredici successivi trattati politici, finanziari e commerciali col Fmi, la Banca Mondiale e le multinazionali dell’Unione Europea, della Cina e degli Usa, Gheddafi ha aperto le porte del petrolio che prima aveva nazionalizzato. Le privatizzazioni del settore, fortemente volute da Shokri Ghanem – già primo ministro e direttore della poderosa Compagnia Nazionale del Petrolio (Nacional Oil Corporation) – hanno beneficiato le p rincipali compagnie occidentali (la spagnola Repsol, la britannica British Petroleum, la francese Total, l’austriaca Om e l’italiana Eni, che è il primo operatore internazionale in Libia, con 244.000 barili prodotti al giorno, il 13% circa della produzione del gruppo) e asiatiche (China Nacional Petroleum). Per non parlare, poi, dei succulenti contratti delle multinazionali working in the fields of infrastructure, construction and military supplies.
Privatization, of course, did not affect the energy sector alone, but all state-owned companies already in a process, developed under a dictatorial regime, has produced a very high level of corruption that has enriched mainly members of the Gaddafi family. A process, in short, which was held under the full supervision of the IMF, which is no accident reported in its latest report that the economic indicators of Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, were very positive. But certainly not positive for the popular masses and the working class, hard hit by these measures, the elimination of public funds; an unemployment rate of 30% and the illiteracy rate of 18%, the exponential increase in the prices of raw food (32% between January 2010 and January 2011, with the grain increased by 62% and wheat 58.7%) in area - North Africa - that is farthest from food and the largest importer of wheat worldwide (21.4 million tonnes, most of the Middle East, who cares " only "18.72 million tons), and both showed in recent years one of the highest growth rates in the world according to the OECD, all of which formed the bedrock on which socio-economic and development, including in Libya and in spite of the "analysis" of Carara, the thrust of the revolutionary masses. That dynamic, thanks to the use of technology (internet on all), took example from large rallies, which in previous months had been produced in Europe under the workers' reaction to the measures taken by governments to prevent the failure of the system in the greatest economic crisis that capitalism memories since 1929, and is nourished by democratic demands action against dictatorial regimes that only days before seemed to granite.
And, to disavow the position on this point in the network of the Communists, are the riots in Libya were produced before the demonstrations now underway, on the occasion of the elimination of state subsidies.

Why and when the revolution broke out?
However, even if it regardless of the economic data that we have just given, the examination of the Libyan situation leads to the same conclusions and withdrawal in doubt those advanced in the text of Carara.
We start from a very general observation: the companies do not change the extent to which their economic and social relations are more unjust or their institutions more tyrannical. If everything was so simple as reducing poverty or dictatorships to have a world without revolutions. What changes is when the combination of several factors make impossible the continuation of the previous situation. The injustice and tyranny on the one hand and the material poverty of the masses on the other factors are not sufficient by themselves to explain the explosion of revolutionary situations. Take for example its
Africa: if it were hungry enough, this continent would be the most revolutionary of the century. But it was not the case: the first half of the twentieth century saw the decisive battles of Europe, the protagonist, while in the second half, and at different times, were in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East scene. What's more, if they are needed the misery and hunger for the outbreak of a revolution, non si spiegherebbero situazioni rivoluzionarie come quella francese (e, più in generale, europea) del 1968 e quella portoghese del 1974, in società cioè in cui il popolo non aveva problemi di alimentazione. E, d’altro canto, se le rivoluzioni fossero solo una giusta reazione a regimi dittatoriali, come spiegare la realtà latinoamericana degli ultimi vent’anni, con dieci presidenti democraticamente eletti e successivamente defenestrati?
In realtà, è appunto il combinarsi di molteplici fattori a determinare lo scoppio di una rivoluzione. Nel caso del Nord Africa, quando le masse popolari hanno sedimentato in sé la convinzione che non erano possibili riforme; quando le classi dominanti non hanno saputo percepire that it was time to grant it, and when the huge crisis of capitalism (and, more generally, its own natural dynamics) has led governments everywhere, to save the bankrupt system, to bring workers and people to such violent attacks to determine a regression of decades so their awakening and their willingness to fight radicalism and when all this happened, the entire North Africa - including Libya, pace Carara - was violently shaken by revolutions democratic act.
And all these considerations, also proven by the images we have received from the Libyan land, even contradict, it is not necessary enforce against particular issues, reconstruction - completely without foundation - a contrast between different fields of "the Libyan leadership that ... [would] lead to a fierce military confrontation," as if it were contradictions between institutions and not, as has and we have shown, a democratic revolution. The reality has shown, on the contrary, that breaks with Gaddafi by men until yesterday his side will not occur on the ground of the revolutionary leadership. Indeed, in a case when the former Minister of Justice has sought to install a provisional government, popular resistance has completely disavowed.

rating on Gaddafi: a little 'history
The article then develops this comment to the assessment of the character Gaddafi, defined so amazing - taking a text Luciana Castellina published the manifesto - "a valiant anti-colonial fighter. "
It should be noted that in 1969 Colonel Muammar Gaddafi walked at the head of a sector of the armed forces, a coup that deposed King Idris I, imposed by imperialism and Stalin when, after World War II, was in 1951 granted independence to Libya. The ideology that supported the coup was to pan-Arab nationalist che aveva il suo referente in Nasser, a differenza del quale, però, Gheddafi voleva costruire non già uno Stato laico, bensì islamico. Ad ogni modo, nel 1977, fondò la Jamahiriya (Stato di Massa) Socialista Araba di Libia, un regime totalitario basato sulle forze armate e su accordi intertribali. L’intervenuta nazionalizzazione del credito e delle imprese straniere, il ripudio degli accordi firmati da Sadat con gli Usa ed Israele e l’appoggio a vari movimenti guerriglieri, valse al regime libico l’odio da parte dell’imperialismo, espressosi nell’embargo delle armi e nella rottura delle relazioni diplomatiche, fino al bombardamento da parte degli Stati Uniti, nel 1986, delle major cities. In response, Qaddafi initiated a series of terrorist attacks, culminating in 1988 with the bombing of Pan Am plane over Lockerbie, Scotland. Despite
dell'autodefinizione of labor, the Libyan state was presented by the mouth of the same Gaddafi, as a third way between capitalism and Soviet socialism. In any case, in the early years, he promoted reforms (health care, education) of a certain weight, made possible by the investment of oil revenues nationalized. In short, this period was characterized by a certain state intervention in the economy.
However, as already mentioned, the relatively progressive role of Gaddafi's nationalism was gradually less since 1992, with the signing of trade treaties, political and financial, through which the course of nationalization was reversed with more extensive privatization and the introduction of reforms in the liberal sense directly under the supervision of the IMF.
short, the verdict on Gaddafi so generous they rest in anything but the Stalinist nostalgia for a bipolar world that no longer exists, in the tragic tradition of "campers" of their rust-buckets of Stalinism: a tradition that inevitably leads to a supposed "anti-imperialist camp "based largely on the block with the national bourgeoisie or the bureaucracies restorationist, e che ha avuto un ruolo particolarmente negativo nella storia del movimento operaio subordinandolo agli interessi di queste stesse forze invece di dargli la prospettiva della rivoluzione socialista mondiale.
E non è casuale che l’articolo di Cararo riprenda le argomentazioni di Fidel Castro, che di quella burocrazia restaurazionista costituisce il più fulgido esempio, oltre ad essere stretto alleato di Gheddafi. Né è parimenti casuale che l’appoggio più esplicito al sanguinario regime di Tripoli sia venuto dal governo del Nicaragua e, soprattutto, dall’altro idolo della sinistra neostalinista, Hugo Chávez, che ha espresso totale sostegno a Gheddafi, dopo che, al termine di un summit a due, nel paragonarlo a Simón Bolivar described him as the liberator of his people, received the largest award in Venezuela.

Gaddafi imperialist or agent of imperialism?
Let us now to "piece", the nerve center of the network part of the Communists.
Based on the conspiracy of the bourgeois press, Carara insinuates that behind what is happening in Libya is off the hand of the Italian secret services (!) And of U.S. imperialism, whose "open interference " would have the goal of "taking off I go back to an Arab leader hated, hateful and unpredictable. "
Again it is clear the clumsy attempt to adjust reality to his vision of things. The imperialism of the U.S. and the EU at the beginning of the protest had a prudent attitude. When he felt that the dictator was no longer in the lead, asked him not to use violence and to deal with the opposition. And now that he realizes that the revolution can win asks him to leave office in the background, leaving the possibility of direct intervention. But step by step.
In fact, in obvious disagreement with Carara, the imperialists for years considered Gaddafi its agent in the region: tame enough to remember the latter's cooperation with the U.S. than the so-called "war on terrorism," substantiated, for example in the recognition of responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing, in the delivery of all the names of Libyan nationals suspected of having participated in Jihad with Bin Laden, the waiver of the "weapons of mass destruction" with the pressure on Syria to do the same, it suffices to note the equally docile cooperation with the rais Britain when handed the names of all Irish republicans who had military training in Libya, is enough to recall the agreements with the EU - and especially the 'Italy - in terms of immigration enforcement, with the creation of concentration camps in which they are imprisoned and tortured Africans who try to enter through Libya to Europe. How Gaddafi
can be considered "hated, hateful and unpredictable" when in 2002 Romano Prodi called the " a friend whose you can trust? If, since 2004, Tripoli discreetly negotiate with Israel through the so-called "Sirte Summit"? If in October the same year she lost her arms embargo on Libya? If in 2008 the U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, said: " Libya and the United States share permanent interests: cooperation in combating terrorism, trade, nuclear proliferation, Africa, human rights and democracy ? If Berlusconi, Sarkozy, Zapatero and Blair, have received all the honors? If only a year ago, the UN has elected to Libya for the Council for the Defence of Human Rights?

The strategy of imperialism to defend its interests directly now that the agent is no longer defensible
course, in the last hours imperialism has changed its attitude. The massacre committed against the Libyan people is now being used to justify a possible military intervention, if anything, disguised as "humanitarian intervention": the main issue is to avoid a bloodbath, supported by the corollary to prevent the Qaeda to take over the reins of the situation.
However, the reconstruction of the Network of Communists - that, as they also say Castro, Ortega and Chavez, Qaddafi and against imperialism is preparing a military intervention to rid of it - is completely unfounded: if, after submitting to yesterday, the dictator, will be forced to armed, will be precisely to defend the agreements they had reached with Gaddafi and to try to control the country . A country - and this is true, the only difference with Tunisia and Egypt that the residues of Stalinism not want to see because it contradicts their view of things - in which there is no middle class parts on which imperialism can rely, in which the army is in fact destroyed, with the troops passed with the opposition and the other composed of mercenaries, in which the people are in weapons and is united by a shared tradition rebel, in which the city paid and controlled by armed insurgents arise embryos of dual power, where in Benghazi, when came the echo of the statements of Hillary Clinton, appeared on big posters of divorce possible U.S. intervention.
is this and only this, the reason why U.S. imperialism and the EU will decide if there are no alternatives, the intervention in Libia: per difendere i propri interessi minacciati – dispiace per Cararo e la Rete dei Comunisti – non già da Gheddafi (che, come abbiamo visto, li ha rappresentati ottimamente per decenni) ma da una rivoluzione incontrollabile in un Paese chiave dell’area del Mediterraneo. Ed è la stessa ragione per cui agli imperialisti non è invece passato neanche per l’anticamera del cervello di ipotizzare un intervento in Tunisia o in Egitto, dove anzi potevano contare su una borghesia filoimperialista che per il momento garantisce una transizione ordinata continuando a gestire gli interessi delle potenze occidentali.
Naturalmente, ove questo scenario dovesse verificarsi, è necessario che revolutionaries around the world actively support the Libyan revolution calling the neighboring Arab nations - who have already proved their value overthrowing dictatorships of Tunisia and Egypt - to fight alongside their brothers in Libya arranging shipments of arms and armed militias that take part in this great revolutionary process in the broader revolutionary process that has spanned the whole of North Africa. Overthrow the dictator and prevent the possible imperialist intervention must be the first tasks to complete this democratic revolution and deepening the course so that it can trascrescere in socialist revolution.

Place the Libyan revolution ol'imperialismo?
A closer look, however, the purpose underlying the whole argument of the article we comment here is always used by the Stalinist currents: the subordination of the labor movement to the national bourgeoisie - in this case with that of bloody and corrupt Gaddafi - as the basis of the theory of an alleged "revolution by stages". But the conclusion of the article
Carara wants to be a blast effect to disrupt the enemy camp: the left does not agree on this proposal into reality " works for the King of Prussia for the return of the monarchy! . Absolutely brilliant, if it was not even that old crap of a stalinismo; cioè l’accusa di intelligenza con il nemico: “chi non assume la difesa di Gheddafi insieme ai nostri ‘padri nobili’ Castro e Chávez è un filomonarchico, poiché preferirebbe il ritorno del re Idris al valoroso combattente anticolonialista”.
Si tratta del più paradossale rovesciamento della realtà: è proprio l’embrassons-nous in un supposto “schieramento antimperialista” (per resistere agli Usa insieme al dittatore libico oggi e costruire in un domani indistinto e indeterminato lo Stato socialista relegato al momento solo negli infuocati discorsi della domenica) ad avere in ultima analisi un unico sbocco possibile: quello di approfondire la dipendenza della classe working world by bourgeois forces which constitute the direct agents of imperialist capitalism and play an objectively counter-revolutionary.
said in a more explicit: those who want to defend getting on the Libyan dictator Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, is not only a friend of the anti-worker and anti-communist Gaddafi. It 's also a "fellow snacks" imperialism .
