WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA - News Journal Update - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: Sciruccazzu - When they steal words (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Patriarchy. Until very recently, a niche word, which not even everyone

in the feminist niche accepted; a word that accuses an atavistic but
still current system of male domination over women, which has shaped
every social organization, from the family to parties to the state,
subordinating relationships between people to the male hierarchy, and
this within the same social classes , be they hegemonic or subordinate,
configuring world power, with many facets certainly, but univocally, as
a male-sized power even if a woman is placed at its head.
Well, what did they listen to before, during and after November 25th,
the day against gender violence? The term patriarchy has passed from
mouth to mouth, also adopted by well-known right-wing figures in power,
by ministers and representatives of institutions, by policemen,
carabinieri and financiers sent to schools to explain to students what
gender violence is and why there are feminicides.

Characters who defend the social and cultural structure in whose broth
rapes and violence of all kinds are cooked; scum who have never made a
secret of their homophobia; individuals who strenuously oppose the
introduction of sexual education in schools; men and women who defend
the militarist and warmongering choices of the government and
military-industrial apparatus: all putting themselves in their mouths,
chewing with their golden dentures, drooling with patriarchy; a word
that, when pronounced by them, is emptied of meaning, watered down,
polluted.

It is the habit of the authoritarian and statist system to fish in the
language of those who oppose it, to make its own words that represent
very specific concepts and transform them into a dominant lexicon, with
opposite or diluted meanings.

Hasn't a crazy and fascist president been elected in Argentina, a child
of multinationals, who defines himself as libertarian?

Let us beware of word thieves; let's not underestimate their tactics; we
respond by forcefully reiterating our contents, and we try to invent new
words that those in power can still fear.
