The left reduced to the sole thought of the elites
Of Carlo Freccero
THE SELF-CRITICISM OF A CERTAIN LEFT (N.D.R.)
Source: The Manifesto
The left is in crisis today and is wondering how it could speak to the new populisms to lead them back to the tracks of an elitist democracy that resembles an oligarchy more than a democracy in the strict sense.
Vice versa, even when he says he wants to listen to the malaise of which populism is an expression, the left entrenches itself in the clichés of political correctness. While, In my opinion, an objective self-analysis would be enough to understand things from another angle. The question is what the left is today and what the left once was? Because there has been such a radical change? I already know the answer. We were wrong. What if we are wrong now?
In any case, reflect on what the left was at its origins, already contains the answer to the problem of populism today.
Before, right-wing populism didn't exist because many of the instances of today's populism were on the left. And the growth of people's rights was not considered reactionary, but progressive.
The great fracture on the left begins with the so-called third way and the complete surrender of progressives to neoliberalism. Since then we have been immersed in the single thought to the point of having lost the memory of ourselves. Read More
Crotone phosphorus. L'Ilva di Taranto

I REMEMBER CROTONE PHOSPHORUS. I THINK ABOUT ILVA DI TARANTO
Of Maurizio Blondet
It was '93, and the newspaper sent me to cover the riots that were happening in Crotone. Workers of a loss-making public factory, which had been decreed to be closed by the government (Ciampi), they were blocking the road and railway tracks,and burned the dangerous substance they produced in the old factory: of phosphorus. The usual, uncivilized revolt of subsidized southerners, it was understood. When …

Psychopathy and Power
Of Flavia Corso
Source: Heretically
“The psychopath is someone who is capable of carrying out even terrible gestures without his feelings registering the slightest emotional shock. The heart is not in tune with thought and thought with gesture”
(U. Galimberti, The disturbing guest)
If you think that psychopaths are necessarily serial killers well present in the collective imagination, you are very wrong. The psychopath is not necessarily a murderer; in many cases, on the contrary, it is an individual well inserted within society, apparently gifted with charisma, fascino and know-how, mask that he uses effectively in social contexts in order to hide the total absence of conscience and empathy. Who suffers from psychopathy, he persistently manipulates everyone around him to achieve his own selfish ends. The people the psychopath uses, they are therefore simple tools in his hands, victims for whom he will never feel guilt, shame or remorse. For this natural predator, the end always justifies the means e, almost as if it were a computer rather than a human being, each of his actions is the result of mere calculation based on the achievement of a single objective: personal interest (money, sex, fame and self-gratification
and in general…). The psychopath is an almost amoral individual: on a cognitive level, He knows very well what is right and wrong, good and evil, but without this involving any emotional participation. He understands very well what emotions like love are, the pain, sadness and even empathy, but he can't try them.
Where the emotional element is neglected for the benefit of the exclusively rational one, you are, there can be no good ethics, since reason and feeling together contribute to the development of moral judgment. It is estimated that psychopaths make up 1% of the world's population. This would be reassuring news, if it weren't for their great ability to quickly rise to the top of the social pyramid, using their manipulative skills. Being totally devoid of empathy, Indeed, these subjects will have no qualms about behaving incorrectly towards their peers, just to get to positions of power. We will therefore often find them at the head of large companies, but not by virtue of their actions, but exclusively thanks to their predatory and parasitic nature. The term "Corporate Psychopath" is used by scholars precisely to outline the profile of the corporate psychopath who maneuvers within the working environment, arousing admiration around him, simply because he was disguised as a skilled businessman. To disguise yourself socially, the psychopath mimics the emotional states of normal people by acquiring and reproducing their facial expressions and body language. Act, because he cannot do otherwise. But what are the causes of psychopathic personality?? Research in the field of neuropsychopathology has highlighted how psychopathy is determined by a real brain anomaly: the areas predisposed to the processing of emotional material (parts of the limbic region, the hippocampus and the amygdala) they would not function adequately in the psychopathic brain.

Identity and sovereignty? They are inseparable notions
Of Alain de Benoist
Source: Barbadillo
Signor Alain de Benoist, in some environments, we tend to oppose two notions that everyone talks about today: identity and sovereignty. Nel Front National, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen would have represented the first, in opposition to Florian Philippot, which above all defends the second. Such opposition seems legitimate to her?
“Interviewed a few weeks ago by Causer magazine, Marine Le Pen said: "My project is intrinsically patriotic because it defends the sovereignty and identity of France in the same movement. When you forget one of the two, and the bar". So, we don't cheat. Because they should see themselves in the identity and sovereignty of opposing ideas, when they are complementary? Sovereignty without identity is but an empty shell, identity without sovereignty has every possibility of transforming into ectoplasm. So you don't need to separate them. One and the other, Furthermore, they are part of freedom. To be sovereign is to be free to decide your own policy. Preserving one's identity implies, for a people, to be able to freely decide the conditions of one's own social reproduction".
While identity is a necessarily vague concept, sovereignty is no longer easy to define?
“Less than it seems. The “one and indivisible” sovereignty recalled by Jean Bodin in The Six Books of the Republic (1576) it has little to do with sovereignty based on subsidiarity and the principle of sufficient competence, of which Althusius speaks in 1603 in his Politica methodice digesta. Bodin's approach is eminently modern. It implies the nation-state and the disappearance of the distinction that was previously made between power (power) and the authority or dignity of power (authority). Read More
Stop Italy, I want to go down
Of Roberto Pecchioli
Source: Heretically
Stop Italy, I want to go down. One of the problems, getting older, it is no longer being able to understand what we see. The codes to decipher the new reality slip out of our hands, one feels like a stranger, inadequate and we end up withdrawing into ourselves. If "they" see it, we remain spectators of events that happen despite us and of which we are unable to identify the meaning or direction. How to watch a Bengali film in the original language. This is why so many of us want to come down.
Little Italy has become Italiaccia. For a couple of days we had three governments. The one in charge "for the handling of current affairs", as the bombastic and subtly humorous formula of the official protocol states, that of “the president” by Carlo Cottarelli, official of the International Monetary Fund, as well as the one unwelcome to all oligarchies, led by Professor Conte with the participation of the sinister Bolshevik, fascist and anti-European Paolo Savona. The Jesuit training of the head of state made it possible to resurrect a theological category that had fallen into oblivion, that of sins committed with thoughts, parole, works and omissions. The trial of the intentions of the diabolical octogenarian Savona, ready to exit the euro 48 net hours (?!) however, it allowed Italians to see more clearly.
The good Mattarella presented himself to the people to claim the stop in Savona in the name of the Markets, revealing – holy naivety – who is the guarantor and president. The European Commissioner with a German passport, HerrOettinger, he too was struck by an attack of sincerity, he growled that the Markets will take care of it (always with a capital letter!) to teach the Italians, small, neri, dirty and stinking to vote properly. Even Juncker, perhaps betrayed by the Belgian beer, he revealed opening words how annoyed the inhabitants of the country are, slackers, maintained, corrupt (very true, but in crowded company) and many other things.

We are all fascists?
Of Danilo Quinto
Of the new Government and Salvini Minister of the Interior, PD and regime newspapers only know how to say and write "They are fascists". It is proof that they have no arguments. They live a lie. They are the shame of this country, together with Berlusconi, announcing the no-confidence vote sight unseen. They will be paved at the next elections. Because of this, they are afraid.
I expect Salvini to take immediate measures to address the first problem Italy has been experiencing for at least ten years., with the complicity of a good part of its ruling and political classes, of the media system and the Catholic Church, starting with Bergoglio and the Italian Episcopal Conference, with their beggarly do-goodism, which subverts the early teaching of Jesus Christ, on the conversion and salvation of souls, with the Misericordia molasses, which means dissolution, as St. Thomas Aquinas warned, if not accompanied by Justice.
The campaign launched by Emma Bonino, “I was a foreigner – humanity that does well”, to which Bergoglio gave his political support, it is a campaign of dissolution of Italian and European identity. The high degree Freemason Coudenhove Kalergi, founder of Paneuropa, he wrote: «the inhabitants of the future United States of Europe will not be the original peoples of the Old Continent, but rather a sort of sub-humanity made bestial by racial mixing […]. It is necessary to crossbreed European peoples with Asian and colored races, to create a multi-ethnic herd without quality and easily dominated by the elite in power. The man of the future will be of mixed blood. The future Eurasian-Negroid race, extremely similar to the ancient Egyptians, it will replace the multiplicity of peoples, with a multiplicity of personalities". Read More
Si insedia il "governo del cambiamento" to the test of facts
Of Matthew Castagna
The Lega-Movimento government takes office 5 position. Many no longer hoped for it. On the contrary, after Giuseppe Conte's remission of his mandate and Cottarelli's ascent to Colle, most saw yet another caretaker government on the horizon. Perhaps some had already begun to advise the two leaders to take the much more comfortable and less responsible role of tribunes of the plebs.
Instead something has changed, right at that stage. To demonstrate, if there was still a need, than in the politics of the so-called “Third Republic” all the schemes have failed, in addition to consolidated institutional relationships and practices. Yesterday Prof. Lawyer. Giuseppe Conte returned to the Quirinale with the team of Ministers and the swearing-in took place. Next week there will be the final passage of the parliamentary confidence vote, which does not cause particular concerns and will be greater in the House and more restricted in the Senate.
What has changed in the space of a week? There was a compromise with Europe to be able to govern. We have seen first-hand that those who try to form an executive, complete with prime minister, program and majority receives the “not ” dell’ EU through the institutional guarantee figures, if it doesn't reassure the markets, that is, the Paris-Berlin axis that rules in Brussels through its banks, its lobbies and its rating agencies. Salvini, but not only that, ha, Therefore, concluded that we are one country “with limited sovereignty”. E’ objective. If you don't find at least one method of coexistence, even by divorcees at home, with them, go home. Everything else is sterile rosiconi propaganda. What happened is clear proof of this, even for those who, possibly, they wanted not to see. The new government has reassured people about remaining in the Eurozone, in exchange for a sovereignist policy on immigration and taxation. Already yesterday, but, authoritative government officials have said that Italy will also do those things that someone in the’ The EU might not like it. It will be true? The facts will speak and we will judge on those, because diplomacy is one thing, reality is one thing. Circumstantial phrases are one thing, actual policies are one thing. Read More
With the new government, the Germans will be forced to listen to the Italian proposals
Of Marcello Minenna
What is happening in Italy represents the stone in the pond of German and French intentions, the stimulus to reflection for a European apparatus that so far has shown itself to be almost indifferent to the economic and social implications of too rigid fiscal discipline.
The first exam will be, like at school, in June on the occasion of the meetings of the Eurogroup and the European Council on the review of the Monetary Union.
But unfortunately it is difficult to concentrate on this, given the heart-pounding developments in the Italian political scenario; developments that are fundamentally derived from the expansive approach of the Lega e economic policy program 5 position. Read More
