Non-existent fascism will bury you

Let's start from the belief that the truth is in everything, as Hegel teaches, therefore also in its necessary internal contradictions.
Anti-fascism, as well as neo-fascism, ignores all of this, transforming fascism into an archetype that is what others have decided for him. A single evaluation is necessary, certainly not for a rehabilitation intention, but only to have an extra weapon for a correct interpretation, not from the past, but of the present that, this being the case, he weighs much more because he is drugged.
For this reason, the meaning of the term fascism as evoked by anti-fascists is particularly illuminating.
Its use is independent of historical evaluation, as well as from a political or philosophical one, its use is not even that of a simple denigrating adjective, but it is an investment to always guarantee the right to existence and reason. It even ignores space-time, even from a Manichean perspective, as if fascism, as Absolute Evil, had always existed. A cesspool in any case to be contrasted with one's own self-referentiality. In his presence, everything seems to vanish, from colonialism, to the slave trade, to the extermination of the American Indians, to the genocide of Tasmanians, even exploitation seems so bearable in the face of fascism, Ricardo's "bronze law of wages" ends up coinciding with a platform for contractual renewal.
Anti-fascism becomes the good dress that gives super powers, a means to become a champion. Already out of class, anti-fascism is so powerful that not only Giovanni Gentile is disappearing, but also Karl Marx and Antonio Gramsci.
The gravity of such a liturgical investiture lies entirely in the inauthenticity of anti-fascism. Read More

The Yankee Way to Sovereignty

The Yankee Way to Sovereignty

The ambivalences of the emerging sovereignist perspective analyzed in relation to the Italian case.
A contribution to read carefully.
I started talking about the existence of a Yankee Way to Sovereignty, more or less since I started identifying myself, from a Marxist point of view, with this political category. So, around the 2012.
Indeed, since the advent of the Monti Government's austerity in 2011, it was immediately clear that, in the face of German rigidity which directed the positions of the European Union by imposing social butchery policies on Greece and Italy, on the part of the United States there was a decidedly more elastic attitude towards public spending and the state budget. The troika that gave order to the Euro-Mediterranean governments, in other words, appeared to be made up of the “good cop” IMF and the “bad cop” European Commission.
As, many public figures who in that period and in various capacities spoke out against austerity - for example Paolo Barnard, but also Stefano Fassina - also explicitly stated the need to seek political support in the United States and in the Monetary Fund to escape from the death trap of the fiscal compact and German control over our economy.
Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge.
Eight years of austerity have almost completely eroded it, among Italian and European public opinion, the pre-existing support for the Eurofederalist perspective and have brought, Therefore, sovereignism at the center of the political debate and made those political forces that have a parliamentary majority, with varying degrees, they claim to go back to sovereignist issues.
