A-Infos (en) Italy, UCADI, #207 - What's New The Referendum Bomb (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

"They went to ring and were ringed." This happened to Meloni & Co., 
desperately searching for a substantial point of arrival for their 
project to remake the Republic in order to erase the anti-fascist 
origins of the Constitution. They failed to realize that tampering with 
the guarantees of coexistence commemorated on April 25th, a date 
promptly and stubbornly erased from their agenda, is unacceptable to the 
vast majority of citizens. It is no coincidence that this date not only 
exists, but seems to be remembered, well-guarded, engraved in the 
citizens' DNA, ineradicable. Generations come and go, but the 
anti-fascist antivirus seems to remain active, effective, and resilient 
when the infection arrives, whatever form it takes.
However self-assured, histrionic, Christian, identitarian, and 
patriotic, the Garbatella stopper, who calls herself an underdog, is 
essentially a loser, especially when she attempts this task.
Raised in governments by the country's right, in four years of 
government she has managed to spread nonsense, maintaining her own 
substantial immobility and nurturing cliques of cronies, whom she has 
allowed to occupy every tiny crack in the cracks of power that could 
produce gains and perks, grandiloquent and pompous positions, profits no 
matter how legitimate. As such, she is not a reject, but a piece of 
garbage, the perfect product of the establishment, now even abandoned by 
her mentor, Donald Trump, for her manifest servile incompetence in 
international politics.
His domestic administration has also been marked by less than edifying 
episodes and events, perpetrated by certain individuals who constituted 
the entourage that, in concentric circles, gathers around the 
headquarters of a party with an emblematic and significant name, Via 
della Scrofa, and a family clan that runs it thanks to kinship ties and 
a partnership cemented by a shared desire for revenge.

Yes, because it is precisely resentment and bitterness, the pain of the 
defeat of the fascist regime, and the desire for revenge, that unite the 
generation of neo-fascists who now run the largest party of the Italian 
right. We must recognize that the regime's survivors have cultivated and 
shaped the education of new generations through resentment. They were 
directly generated and nurtured by acquired followers, who built 
adherence to the ideas of the twenty-year period and transformed them 
into myth, reworked and tested them, never tiring of fueling social and 
political conflict, often resulting in pure, brutal, indiscriminate 
violence, which gives you the sensation, the thrill of power, 
exhilarating and motivating you, providing you with the energy needed to 
fight.
While it's true that the right has failed to establish its own cultural 
hegemony in Italy, it has nevertheless succeeded in establishing a new 
generation of followers, aided by the strength of the state apparatus 
and a complacent and smug mainstream media. With the strong support of a 
media empire, it has criminalized young people's political engagement, 
fostered their estrangement from social life, fueled disengagement and 
turned it into a value, cultivated hedonism through drug use and thus 
alienation and individualization, failing to realize that by doing so, 
it was disarming society, disjointing it, and extinguishing all social 
inspiration. In doing so, it was inserting itself into the general 
evolution of Western societies. All this until the horror of the abyss 
into which these techniques have plunged society and humanity slowly 
awakened consciences, first with the fight to protect the environment 
and then with the horror of the Holocaust of the Palestinian people and 
the genocide perpetrated in Gaza. A clear and obvious slaughter, 
immediately understandable for the horrors it wreaked, more so than a 
war like the Ukrainian one, fought between two armies and of which 
everything has been done to obscure the causes, effects, and 
consequences. What is happening now countless but unaccountable deaths 
on the battlefield, immense destruction, thousands of wounded and 
injured in body and spirit on both sides, and a waste of financial 
resources that especially harms the poorest and most vulnerable is 
destroying the welfare of the European peoples, draining their financial 
resources to fuel the effort to restore the US empire and the 
exploitation of the richest and most powerful, allowing them to seize 
every opportunity to enrich themselves.
The situation of degradation has reached the point where it brings the 
world to the brink of nuclear war, and this means that there is no 
longer any room for revanchism, revenge, vengeance, or grudges, which 
are rooted in history, which produce immobility, which translate into a 
floating in order to continue gaining perks and favors, money and power. 
Giorgia Meloni has completed her journey internationally and 
domestically: it's time to roll up her sleeves and get to work, rebuild 
social relationships, and erase her existence.
