EMPLOYMENT ACTION INITIATIVE OF THE SEL February 15, 2011 
Speech February 15, 2011 by Jesi Fabio Mussi
few days ago, at the window of a bookstore, I was attracted by a libretto by Giacomo Leopardi, entitled "SPEECH ON THE PRESENT STATE OF COSTUMES Italians." I was intrigued by a sentence written on the cover of the Poet:
"Now life is just that the Italians, with no prospect of better luck in the future, without employment, without purpose, and restricted only to the present. "
A more timely than ever, largely due to our time. A decade later, in our country, it seems that nothing has changed. In fact that book was written in 1824. 187 years ago, even well before the unification of Italy.
Recanati If the poet came to describing the lives of Italians period with a view so cruel, I wonder what on earth could have written today. The current situation is far worse than that time, in hindsight, I think we can say that the Italians 800, perhaps without realizing it, they faced a rapidly changing future. The progress was in the air, major innovations have transformed and improved the quality of life. The young back then so they could aspire to a better life than their fathers. Our young people, however, in general, have a worse quality of life of our own: environmental, social and economic development. We know with certainty.
the poet's words are appropriate to our present, and the Italian life today is without perspective, without employment, restricted only to the present. Not for everyone, of course, I mean the life of "normal" people.
this brief and trivial observation, however, does not prevent me to glimpse a glimmer of hope, because if it is true that Leopardi accused the state of life of the Italians to the widespread individualism, we must record that in recent periods, the social and cultural climate of our country seems to have a start.
happens that the extreme individualism, fostered mainly by massive marketing efforts by broadcasters and unedifying examples which no longer reflected in large pockets of society. This contrast is almost imperceptible, however, not because it is alive, but only because the media does not give news.
There is a part of the country that is trying hard to react to this state of economic decay, social and cultural. It does so with the few resources available, it does so with courage and enthusiasm, and perhaps with the knowledge that if things did not tackled in the first person no one else will think.
I think students, our youth, we (I say this in generational terms) destroyed the future, prevented to imagine, to dream. These students, who are struggling for months tirelessly to defend the public school (even if we know that the present is not the best possible), it is essential to understand the public role of the school to ensure everyone the opportunity to study. This is a glimmer of optimism. Little is known or too little of the struggle of the students, but unfortunately newspapers and TV have noticed them only when the protest in Rome there were clashes, and is (perhaps deliberately) left in the second floor of the fact that thousands of boys were in the streets peacefully to defend their future and that they did for months in utter disregard of the press is that of the major political forces.
Fiom I think the workers, even in this case we see a change of trend on the extreme individualism. A Pomigliano as Mirafiori, workers have taken a battle, they did it on their skin, to protect the rights of all workers to defend the constitutional provisions, a great act of generosity not only against employers, but against our country than ever before so distressed.
I think of the great mobilization of the people of public water. It was amazing active participation for the referendum against the privatization of water, which reached a half million signatures. This is also a gesture to the community.
And last, but only in chronological order, the grand manifestation of women and civil di domenica scorsa.
Insomma la parte nobile del nostro Paese non dorme, non si accontenta, non si arrende.
Ma in tutta questa storia manca un soggetto, un protagonista: è la politica. I partiti politici sembrano annichiliti da un verso, e totalmente asserviti al capo-padrone dall’altro, purtroppo in questi ambienti l’individualismo è ancora la norma. I Partiti non sono in grado di governare l’emergenza mentre la crisi diffusa e pesante strozza i più deboli. Gli interessi sono altri, il bene comune non è all’ODG.
Viviamo un particolare momento in Italia, di scarsa democrazia, mai così ethically below. Perhaps it is no coincidence that our baby is magnetized Party consents important right now. Merit Nichi Vendola, of course, that great communicator, said in a frank and clear the Italians the reality of things, with no misunderstandings. But I also think that many Italians are in need of a credible political component that includes the upheavals taking place and who knows how to find a solution.
I think this is the spring that is giving rise to progressively growing approach of many people in our party. The desire for a new political force that knows how to govern and that is not content to attend the halls of power. A political force which does not intend to use the old logic of the party, but who wants to actually bring about change for the better of the country, trying as much as possible to implement a "bottom".
People want a change of course, hope for a political force that really count the old practices politicized. Party looking for a consistent, that puts into practice the things that he proposes. It is not easy.
Left Ecology Freedom is moving towards this direction, we try not to take shortcuts and we would like to communicate with the best part of the country. This means that this party is open, only the cards that do not count (obviously also important) but we will try to interact with the active part of society movements, organizations, community centers, individuals ..... in short, all those who feel they have to question the current system in order to suggest new ideas that can help us pass the ford.
Brands is also in this direction regarding the wish to reject old logic party, demonstrates the clear and unequivocal statement of the SEL at the recent regional elections. Brands are not part of the laboratory, so it was called, although it would be better to say "the fault of the Marche." Well I think that makes a thing of the past, the vision for change things, it should be at all costs in alliances that run counter to our idea of \u200b\u200bgovernment. Persons not interested in political alchemists, who wants all the same brush, like a big crowded that does not give hope or governance, but maintaining power. The Berlusconi fights culturally, with unlikely alliances based not only on numerical calculations. People want concrete, have been burned too many times. The left also has been wiped out just to have succumbed to election signs.
We aim to look elsewhere, first of all to change the style of politics by means of participation and coherence. Participation in the claim seriously, at the provincial level is demonstrated by the creation of thematic forums that are reaping the skills and availability of persons enrolled and not affiliated to the party, table for discussion and study that aims to build a platform with the programmatic and administrative democracy from below.
We want a better country, we said. We want to reconnect politics to people, we want a cultural change in society. The company, as the poet wrote Recanatese, is the primary means to defeat the nullity of things and the defects of individualism.
The company that we have to make a difference.
Claudio Paolinelli
E così ci appaiono davanti agli occhi uomini dal volto liquefatto, nudi, con la pelle che si stacca dai muscoli, che vagano ciechi per le strade della città ridotta in macerie, soffocata dagli incendi e avvolta in una notte prematura.
O i pazienti dell'ospedale, scampati all'esplosione, ma non all'effetto letale delle radiazioni: agonizzanti in un letto, soffocati dalle emorragie, con la pelle piagata e i capelli che cadono, mentre i medici assistono impotenti.
O le ombre di chi, dalla bomba, è stato ridotto in cenere.
