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

EXCUSE OF EU-ECB-IMF, L'UNGHERIA RINASCE

Hungary continues its policy of lowering taxes and tariffs. The newspapers and various Italian talk shows continue to ignore the economic revolution that is taking place in Hungary because they want to keep the people ignorant in order to prevent an ever-increasing number of people from starting to oppose the blood and tears measures launched by this government on behalf of the European Union.
For those who don't know (and unfortunately there are still many) a few months ago the Hungarian government decided to repay the debt contracted with the International Monetary Fund two years in advance in order to no longer suffer blackmail pressure from its inspectors.
After getting rid of these blackmailers and loan sharks, the government began to adopt a series of measures aimed at stimulating the economy and helping the weakest groups and thus decided to lower electricity bills, water, gas and urban waste disposal 20% and increased pensions to compensate recipients for the rising cost of living.
These measures would have been sufficient to improve the living conditions of Hungarians but the government has decided to go further and in fact in the tax bill recently approved by parliament new measures on family allowances and reduction of VAT from 27% al 5 % on live and slaughtered pigs.

We are all fascists?

Related imageOf 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

The how and why of Populism

Of Umberto Bianchi
The how and why of Populism
Source: Heretically
At the end of a decidedly close electoral contest, the verdict that came out of the polls has, indiscutibilmente, rewarded all those formations that, somehow, they imitate or are themselves considered “populist”. The reference applies to both the League and the Movement 5 position, US President Trump, the transalpina Lady Marine Le Pen, That, in the most recent past for the Forza Italia of the golden times and, really, in very recent times, as if by someone risky, also for Renzi of the original "scrap" version. A term whose meaning has included a bit of everything and its opposite.
But what exactly do we mean by “populism”?? What is the exact political meaning in which this term should be placed, very fashionable nowadays? If we want to refer to the letter of the history of political movements, by “populism” we mean a series of movements that, at the end of the nineteenth century they developed in disparate contexts. In Russia, Populism was represented by the “narodnjki”, whose most authoritative exponents were the colonel and mathematics professor of the Military Academy Pyotr Lavrovič Lavrov, supporter of populism in a socialist key, together with its popularizer and idelogue, the sociologist and literary critic Nikolai Konstantinovič Mikhailovsky, having as its object the emancipation of the peasant masses, starting from the rural/"obscina" community. France instead, began with Paul Deroulede's League of Patriots, che unitasi ad un altro movimento populista di massa, Boulangism (named after Georges Boulanger, charismatic general of the French army) he became an advocate of a radical and revanchist nationalism, always connected to the increasingly widespread discontent of the masses, towards the young French parliamentary republic, much to achieve in 1888-89, after obtaining the support of the monarchists, of significant electoral victories. In the United States it was the People's Party (People’s Party), also known as Populist Party (Populist Party), summarily called "Populists”, which party was established in 1891 in the United States of America which, during the “populist” period, took hold towards the end of the 19th century. Supported by the lower classes, especially by cultivators hostile towards elites in general, had its peak between 1892 and the 1896. Read More
