crucial problem

If we ask a sample of averagely informed and well-educated citizens what the most serious problem in Italy is, we will get a remarkable variety of answers. Some will talk about immigration, many of unemployment, others of the loss of social rights, some of the decline of moral principles, of corruption and so on. Our thesis is different: the most relevant issue is the birth rate. A people who do not have children is destined to end up through biological consumption. It drags itself into selfishness, in the distrust of the future, in mental closure, in the very rejection of life. Because nature abhors a vacuum and elsewhere the demographic pressure is immense, someone, fatally, will replace us. The civilization in which we were born will disappear and Italy will become a concept of the past. They will study it in history books. This intervention has an objective: state that the empty cots are the nation's most serious and urgent problem and economic difficulties, financial and social issues in which we are struggling have aging and the consequent decrease in the population among the triggering causes. Maybe that's not entirely true, as Benito Mussolini thought, that number is power, but certainly, in a time that aspires to infinite growth, losing population is an element of profound weakness, the visible sign of decline. In the present, only arguments related to economics or interests can convince. For this reason we renounce the motion of feelings, to the appeal in favor of our civilization, to patriotism, to the need to save our nation from extinction. Our thesis is that the biological continuity of the Italian people is worthwhile, it is the best investment for the future, a big deal for each and every one. Read More
