WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, UCADI #174 - Fascist little world (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The right wing, as we know, has little availability for innovation,

loves tradition, and it is for this reason that, faced with the problem
of stinging inflation, rampant poverty, the growing number of poor
people, the Municipal Authority rebuilds of Assistance (ECA) and
rediscovers the ration cards. Determined to dismantle the basic income,
the symbolic measure of the 5 Stars, the right must also invent
something to intervene to buffer the social unease of the weakest
sections of the population and therefore, as its custom, resorts to the
arsenal of tradition, and dusts off measures symbolic that have the
effect of re-proposing its roots, and being immediately distinguishable
and identifiable by its electorate. In this case, to operate we start
from the principle that everything had been created, that everything
existed, everything was perfect, when He was there, "Capone", who had
provided for the needs of the people. During Fascism, the problem of
poverty was tackled by dismantling the charitable congregations,
absorbing their assets, to create the Ente Comunale di Garanzia (ECA)
with the law of 3 June 1937 number 847.
The purpose of the ECA was to assist those who were in conditions of
particular need and discomfort by coordinating the various existential
activities existing in the Municipality. The body also had the task of
looking after the interests of the poor by assuming their legal
representation before the administrative and judicial authorities,
believing that the poor were incapable of legally defending themselves -
and this could seem like a noble intention - but in reality reaffirming
their diminished representation legal because of poverty, considered a
mark of inferiority which was an obstacle to the enjoyment of full legal
capacity. The ECA also had the task of assisting orphans and abandoned
minors, the blind and deaf-mute indigents, administering the welfare and
charitable institutions that had been entrusted to it, The ECA
maintained its duties well beyond the duration of the regime and it was
gradually assigned new duties at least until 1963, only to then be
restricted to assisting the blind and disabled civilians. Only in 1977
the institution was suppressed, but this bandwagon survived for its
definitive liquidation until 2008 when it was definitively suppressed
with the law 112.
The existence of this institution in the municipalities constituted a
formidable tool for obtaining consensus among the poorest voters during
the elections because, coinciding with the electoral comparisons, aid
was paid to the most disadvantaged sections of the population which
would be repaid by the electoral consensus . The institution also
distributed jobs and ensured income to the customers of the managers
appointed by the municipality.
The instrument of the non-air card was directly connected to the
institution's activity, a personal document which defined the quantity
of rationed goods and foodstuffs that could be acquired in a given
period of time during the period of sanctions and the Second World War.
This card was significantly renamed popularly as the hunger card. It was
issued by the municipality, it was nominative for a two-month period and
stickers were glued on it representing the total monthly consumption of
pasta, oil and sugar, while bread and milk were excluded and distributed
apart from the point, the card printed on paper in different colors
depending on the age, contain the personal details of the holder written
in indelible black ink. Mind you, on pre-established dates it was
necessary to go to a usual supplier for the reservation, providing to
indicate the foodstuffs and later also clothes and other goods and then
withdrawing on established dates to collect the reserved goods. Given
that with the high rate of inflation, prices varied from month to month,
it was common practice to withdraw everything possible in a single solution.
Naturally, this system too was not free from fraud as it provided for
the trading of cards, for the printing of false ones, for the bartering
of the goods in possession of the owners of the cards, see or presumed
to be.

The social card of the Meloni Government

Now, in its relentless fight against the poor, after having effectively
suppressed the basic income, the Meloni government has invented the
EUR380.5 social card to be distributed at the disposal of families in
situations of poverty. What is new is above all the name for which the
hated use of the language is used English, which should have been banned
by law and which since then has never been so used by the government and
by supporters of the exclusive use of the Italian language, but there's
more: the card has a name for the culo: "Dedicated to you", it is not
for the poor and above all it is not easy to use. Distributed by the
post office according to lists compiled on the basis of data provided by
INPS, the card is first of all difficult to award since it provides that
it will be used by those families who have presented the ISEE
documentation in good time and will be recipients of an ISEE of less
than 15 euros per year. year. The one-off aid concerns about one million
three hundred thousand families and cannot be added to other provisions.
In fact, all those who receive basic income, unemployment, layoffs,
mobility and any other form of allowance or aid. Furthermore, the
nucleus must be composed of the at least three people: no single
parents. Families made up of a single person or those without children
are in fact excluded from the measure in fascist terms in homage to what
was the fascist legislation against celibacy with the only difference
that instead of requiring the payment of a tax, individuals and families
without children, if they want to eat, that they at least sweep and have
children, and of course they get married, making themselves useful to
society also because otherwise there is no reason to keep them at the
expense of the community. But there's more and those who deluded
themselves and that was enough miscalculated him.
As good fascists, Meloni's acolytes, in designing the measure, wanted to
be didactic and therefore provided for a grid of foods that can be
purchased with the card as they are useful and necessary for a healthy
diet; that's why, for example, you can buy fresh fish, but not frozen
fish, some goods are available and others aren't, because the government
also decides the diet: How much are the provisions also relating to the
use of spices for cooking?
What is worrying is that the country does not seem to notice what is
happening and silently gobbles up this revenge-driving bullshit from
every sensible person.
The government can thus afford, without any shame, to inundate with
television spoots that offend the most inexperienced minds. state
television to promote the barter between an almsgiving of EUR400 per
year and a basic income which was certainly an imperfect tool, but
provided an average of EUR570 per month without discriminating against
childless couples and single individuals
.
All this without forgetting the opposition to the introduction of the
minimum wage which, not by chance, is accompanied by the restoration of
job vaucers, with rented work, with precarious work, while the constant
supply is favored with the increase in clandestine emigration of the
black labor market, placing an immense industrial reserve army at the
disposal of unscrupulous entrepreneurs and criminal corporals.
