L’average voter of the “left” presents various characteristics. Of all, I think three stand out in particular:
1. At best, it is a sort of "apolitical" not necessarily linked to the PD, but who in fact votes for everyone parties who in some way make it a political game (between past and present: Di Pietro and IDV, LeU, SEL, to mention the formations, while Luigi De Magistris can be a valid example of a local context). By virtue of this, he is convinced that he evaluates people and not ideas, to be de-ideologized and consequently free, unlike us poor mortals. The Movement 5 Stelle has only one merit: he was a bit of a pain in the ass about this little game they had been playing all their lives over there. Right, he did it due to random circumstances. The pentastellates, Indeed, they were about to end up there the same way. Then the heterogeneity, as well as a series of unpredictable events, they deviated from a path that had already been observed with all previous parties, officially always "alternative" propositions of an alternative that never existed.
2. Hates leaders or prominent personalities as if they were the bubonic plague. This is because of his strange conception of history: he hates even hearing the mention of Mussolini or Hitler, but strangely he has a reverence for Napoleon Bonaparte. Officially he speaks badly of Stalin, but he considers it less worse, because then Stalin freed Europe from Nazism. On the other hand, during his adolescence he wore T-shirts Che Guevara.

In current times it is completely useless to explain to him that having a person who decides, obviously on behalf of others, it is necessary. It is futile to try to make him understand that personality has nothing to do with tyranny, dictatorships or bloody gulags (pardon, lager, because for them the gulags are a crime, but of a "good" ideology against the "bad" one represented by Nazi-fascism). He can't do it. Educated from cradle toinconsistency, he loves the Bersani, the Grassos, someone even managed to love the Ingroias. He is so bad that if by chance he turns from a voter into a politician, perhaps climbing to the top and running for office in the primaries, first he frees himself from the definition of “leader”, then he self-proclaims it while avoiding the definition of "boss", basically to avoid irritating your teammates. The reason? He is just as aware of their mental illness as he is of his own: and he knows perfectly well that they could react with some sort of stroke.

3. He can't understand that without a minimum of hierarchy it is impossible to manage any sector, that it is a political party, a company or administration. For the average "left" voter, everyone makes decisions together, Always, or at least they should, and we have to work hard every day to get everyone to agree. Even at the cost of Don't decide endlessly. Fame, seven, famines or possible deaths are infinitely less important than sacred democracy beyond all limits. How democratic, small detail, he has nothing.
L’anti-fascism in the absence of fascism he created, well yes, this too.
