Italy.
The “Damn spell” has been broken by the rage
of the young generations

As the Financial Times wrote, Berlusconi has confirmed his leadership
with a very small majority on December the 14th, when the Parliament
vote for him, but his political role, sound as a temporary agreement.
This is the real background with which he is going in EU palaces
to decide how the EU countries should pay their public debt and
how they should control their society reactions.
Considering all this, it is sure that we are going fastly to
new elections.
The decision of Italian parliament openly shows us two tendencies:
1. The fragility of our politic cast and its inadequacy, considering
all the political parties, the one who stands for Berlusconi rather
than the for the oppositions parties.
2. The growing division between the motions of the governative
Palaces and the people’s instances. The social sector the
most attacked, is the young one: the instances of the young generations
are openly denied and repressed by all the institutional parties.
On December the 14th the social riot exploded in Rome but it
has been months since the students discuss into the Universities
and into the high schools. This fact is the symbol of a great
protest that breaks the damn spell in which the society was keeping
its balance.
Talking about the society conflicts, someone accuse the Black-Block
as responsible for everything, and refuse to accept the reality
of the events; someone compare the actually situation to the 70s
one, thinking that 70s history should had gone and missing to
understand the mess of all European society in front of and into
the crisis (only think to several protests in Greece, UK, and
in others EU countries).
It is true indeed, that there are some relationship with the
70s struggles, but the content of the conflict is different.
This is a movement of young people that is going to become new
proletarians: facing the crisis, it is showing all the contradictions
between what is expected to be and what is the reality. While
in the 60s and 90s the class movement was struggle to become a
new ruling class, now this movement grows in a world where every
social perspective is close for people and for the future.
It’s has been 18 years since politicians, ruling casts,
economists, medias and even trade union delegates have said to
young people to forget a good job and a good salary (since 1992,
with the TUE). Young people should accept precariousness, forget
a pension, doesn’t hope to pay the right price for a house
or to have access to a good education system.
Those men even tried to play this game against the rights of
the workers who struggle for their rights 40 years ago trough
austerity programs imposed by EU.
How could they think that this social massacre didn’t promote
a hard struggle?
The student movement is drawing a stop line at the political
game that plays against the popular classes, and is promoting
a new seasons of social conflict at European level.
Form this movement, we must restart with a great openly anti-capitalist
protest and with a strong communist subjectivity inside.
