There is great discussion on social media, both old ones like FB and
trendier ones, regarding the new card that the PD wanted to dedicate to
Enrico Berlinguer. ---- Interesting political analyzes and jokes were
added to the "betrayal" attacks, some funny, others very serious and
angry. ---- However, it seems to me that much of the discussion does not
take into account one fact. The one depicted in the effigy has nothing
to do with Berlinguer, the real one, who lived and died in 1984. ----
That Berlinguer was a man of the 20th century, a communist, certainly
much followed by his own people, but above all he was a professional
politician, shrewd, prepared, and not a kind of secular "St. Francis".
A man placed in his time, within the contradictions of that historical
period, within the even harsh clashes both in the party and in society.
The card, on the other hand, is a brand. A photo that recalls a sentence
(and a phase) completely extrapolated from context (but the context is
now a definitively lost battle).
A character about whom it is not necessary to know anything other than
the mystical urban legends of his "death" almost smacking of sanctity
and devoid of any political connotation.
A brand perhaps used to reactivate old glories (but they are now few and
in danger of natural extinction) through that mechanism which is
difficult to interpret psychologically, for which it is more useful to
quote De Andrè "to abort the lifeguard's son and then look at him with
sweetness" .
An identity reminder like the photos of Che Guevara in teenagers'
bedrooms. He's cool, he's trendy.
In 2025 the card will report the snowfall of the century. It's been just
40 years.
