WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #36: The State must be overthrown (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 In the November 17 edition of La Repubblica, Michele Serra published an

article entitled "The Extinction of the State," in which he argues that
the State will be overtaken by the joint action of Donald Trump and Elon
Musk. ---- One of the merits of the alterglobalist movement of the early
years of the century in the eyes of the ruling elite is that it made the
idea of the State acceptable again for the new generations. The State
appeared to the majority of the movement that opposed triumphant
neoliberalism as the only barrier capable of defending the interests of
the community and in particular of the exploited and oppressed majority.

What escaped immediate perception is that it is precisely the State, and
in particular governments, that are leading the attack on the living
conditions of the vast majority of the planet's population, it is still
the State and governments that are doing nothing to slow down global
warming and the advance of the climate crisis, indeed they are
subsidizing in every way the multinational fossil and nuclear companies,
to the point of engaging in military expeditions to every corner of the
globe to conquer new markets and new sources of raw materials. It is
still the State that has enriched Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

If the State were to disappear, with its retinue of men-at-arms and
sycophants, there would be no escape not only for Trump and Musk, but
also for Draghi, Colaninno and Facchinetti.

Michele Serra knows these things well, perhaps he does not know that
Engels, in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"
links the birth of the State to that of private property, both the
result of the increase in labor productivity, which allows a part of
humanity to live by exploiting the work of the other, thanks to the
monopoly of violence; perhaps in the handbook used by Serra at party
school it was not written or when they explained it he was absent.

Musk and Trump are made of the same substance as Michele Serra and his
warmongering, anti-proletarian and authoritarian current. Of course,
there are some details that differentiate them, but they share
indifference towards the suffering caused to millions of women and men
by this social form, in which the monopoly of private property goes hand
in hand with the monopoly of violence.

Michele Serra is busy demonizing those who, like us, are enemies of the
State; he is busy invoking the new generations, on the day of the vote
in Umbria and Emilia Romagna, because he realizes that among the masses
distrust in institutions is increasing. Of course, distrust is not
enough, to pave the way for a society without a state and without
private property, without Elon Musk and Michele Serra, organization and
strategy are needed. But this is our task.
