WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, UCADI #168: The right and the occupation of the state (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Five months after the right-wing electoral victory in the elections of 25

September 2022, the systematic occupation of the state and its secluded areas by
the right-wing continues . Unlike in the past, the one led by the current prime
minister shows that it has a precise strategic project which is being implemented
systematically, without the so-called oppositions showing that they notice it or
simply that they are aware of it, as evidenced by the reassuring statements on
the fact that the government's policy has proved to be better and less dangerous
than it threatened to be, so much so that there are even those who have removed
the qualification of fascist from the Premier League! --- So much guilty
stupidity is the result of political ignorance, inconsistency, ignorance,
carelessness, of lean politicians, accustomed to the ordinary administration of
municipalities and regions, at best good enough to exercise the job
of administrators of condominium. They show that they have not understood that
this right wing, which has been preparing to go to government over many years,
has gone there with every intention of lasting and giving life to a regime that
marks the country more and more markedly than the twenty years of Fascism and the
thirty years of Berlusconi.

Act without haste

The right knows that it can act without haste and that it must do it
systematically because it has won five years to sit comfortably and permanently
in power and therefore has inaugurated a strategy that runs on two tracks. The
first, noisy and spectacular, made up of monstrous measures , of Manzonian cries,
such as the attack on raves, the yelled anti-migration policy, the diplomatic
quarrels with France, the demagogic attack on the citizen's income, and above all
an orderly and prudent management of public finances, aimed at reassuring the
markets, the issue of 41 bis, transformed into fact of news on a par with the
management of the Sanremo Festival. The second is made up of real measures such
as identifying the ports of disembarkation of NGO ships as far away as possible
from the rescue area, only to then allow and reach the record arrival of migrants
with small boats, managed by the private traffic entrepreneurship of men and
women, implement as many as 12 financial amnesties, lower taxes on the richest,
starve the poor, reduce health care costs, liberalize and make the labor market
even more precarious, In the meantime, the Government proceeds quickly on the
path of the so-called poils system (literal translation from English: booty
system) which is the political practice with which the winners of the elections
conquer and colonize the ganglia of economic and political power to occupy them
as permanently as possible possible, aware that while politicians "pass"
officials, managers and their middle managers, remain and are the ones actually
able to allow the system of power to reproduce, regenerate and last over time.
This work is delicate, it requires painstaking patience and time, it must be done
with care and prudence and possibly it must be as inconspicuous as possible.
This occupation took place by taking over the spending centers of the PNRR and
modifying the procurement code, distributing posts, assignments and favors,
acquiring consensus through the incorporation of converted or acquired
bureaucrats, imposing their own men and women to reward them for obscure
militancy in the apparatuses, valuing those who had grown up in the suburbs, on
the barricades, in small provincial squares, providing that long-simmered and
suffered "ransom".
In this way, an army of "political personnel" was and is still being formed, that
governing intermediate class whose absence the big newspapers and commentators
reproach on the right, without understanding that they exist and how, even if
they see, that they are many and more numerous than a herd of horses and more
devastating than a herd of mad buffaloes, capable of leaving rubble behind them,
after having desertified the land of every resource, implementing that reform of
the State necessary to destroy of structures of social solidarity has survived
the defeats of the workers' movement in this historical phase and the war
unleashed and won by capital against labour.

Fight to win

If you look at the current balance of power, the situation is desperate. The
self-styled reformist parties are inconsistent and unable to cope with a
situation they have helped to create, dominated by capital and the dominant
bosses in the country. The PD, in particular, has no identity, a prisoner of the
ordinary and orderly administration, continues to represent the misunderstanding
of a party from the TL Zone, extraneous to the problems of the less well-off
classes and classes and this when in the country 6 million poor people have the
problem of survival, there are no prospects for improvement and wealth is
concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. The dismantling of the poly
residues productive processes and the attack on the remaining working class
nucleuses, lead to an individual work made up of precariousness, uncertainties,
low wages, absence of meeting places.
It is difficult to identify which situations could be in which it is possible to
develop struggles in a fragmented and dispersed social reality, unless we humbly
start from the territories and immediate life needs, to build resistance on
needs, first in so as to lay the foundations for a subsequent response which then
needs new points of aggregation, new objectives ranging from the possibility of
life to the quality of the environment, health and social relations.
In this direction the road is short, narrow and tortuous, made up of attempts and
sometimes of wrong routes, so much so that it is necessary to stop and start
again, correcting the shot. Our battle can begin, contending the ground meter by
meter against the class opponent, which means fighting and winning the
confrontation in the school, as well as in the territory, in the workplace and in
society, promoting unifying objectives and watchwords , which unite the struggles
for wages and at least a decent standard of living and the protection of
fundamental human and gender values and rights.
Concentrating our forces predominantly on rights makes no sense if the weight of
our action lacks material consistency and impact on relations between classes. In
the same way, it is not enough to concentrate every effort on the defense of the
environment, if there is no structural impact on the causes that produce the
deterioration of the material conditions of life.
For this reason it is necessary to take charge of the complexity of operating,
taking into account the international dimension of the problems, of the
solidarity and internationalism necessary to give that global scope to the
struggle between capital and labour, which alone can allow class enemies to be
defeated.

Against war and for peace

A first sure step in this direction is to fight against wars between peoples,
aware of the fact that there are no just wars, but that every war is the result
of a clash of interests which takes place at the expense of peoples, sacrificing
the lives and existences of each one. The real and only war to be fought is the
one against the exploiters, in the name of equal rights and solidarity, to ensure
everyone's freedom from want and fair access to resources.
Barricading oneself behind the defense of borders, of ethnic groups, of
religions, of nations, invoking the defense of homelands is the most wrong thing
to do because it is accompanied by differences in skin colour, origins and
traditions which are not worth defending, superiority, privileges, differences.
Only in doing so can that reversal of points of view take place, a different
starting point, which allows for better landings, which allows one to live in
peace and improve living conditions for all. As the looming natural disasters
that are there for all to see teach us, it is unacceptable to think and act in
such a way that the well-being of a few is based on the ruin and death of many.
What makes the difference between the worldview of the exploited classes and an
authoritarian, liberal and selfish management of power is precisely the
solidarity and profound humanity that distinguishes the social values that are
the patrimony of the exploited and which impose themselves on the selfishness of
the stronger.

For rights, better living conditions

However, without the satisfaction of the needs for equality there is no freedom.
And therefore, freedom from need, freedom from exploitation, of man by man, by
giving and vice versa, for solidarity and to seek together a strategy to conquer
the beautiful things in life. The first step, therefore, is to decisively take
our future into our own hands and, delegating nothing to others, fight for the
defense of our rights and interests, within a framework of solidarity.
