"We are in crisis, we are in recession." It is the chant of these months, the jingle of the bottom of every question, every debate, every argument: there is no money for investment, there is no money for repairs and maintenance, there is no money for recruitment, there is no money for care, there is no money to renew the agreements, there is no money for research, there is no money for the events, there is no money for advertising and promotions. There is no money at all. We ass on the ground with water in the throat, with shit up to the neck. And the worst is yet to come. The statistics bear out the prophecy seem forecasts a long, cold winter, all scored below zero. We do not produce, do not buy, do not save, do not cr
esciamo. Who knows what we are doing in the meantime. The crisis is told as "history" of a financial speculators out of control from the power of central banks and governments. Instead, there are no innocents: the central banks and governments knew and allowed any speculation, sure to hold the money "fantasy," and indeed intent on exploiting volume and seamless mobility, without laws of gravity to pump and economies consumption. To build consensus. And besides, this is money 'invented', to produce and consume. A building consenso. Una bolla finanziaria è stata fatta lievitare per sostenere il crollo di un’altra. Non ci sono innocenti: il «sogno» di fare denaro standosene in panciolle con in tasca il biglietto vincente della
lotteria aveva ca
tturato facilmente risparmiatori di ogni risma e taglia. Non c’entra niente la non-corrispondenza fra economia «materiale» e «immateriale». È da un bel pezzo che a tot moneta, a tot valore non corrispondono tot merci, all’incirca da quando sono nate le banche e il credito. La folle corsa al nuovo Eldorado si basava su un dato ben materiale: una illimitata possibilità di produrre e consumare del mondo, era questo il «futuro» su cui si rischiava, un future without scarcity. This possibility has not produced a match-and a conflict between values \u200b\u200b- the present and the future, the money supply and credit, prices and profits - not between values \u200b\u200band goods. A confusion of temporality, between now and tomorrow. The goods we are now in the middle. The work we are now in the middle. They are the "collateral damage". They speak of an overall "wealth destruction," but our ability to produce is intact, our creativity is undiminished, our technology is intact. Was also an apocalypse, is not that the next day would become troglodytes, illiterate, savage, regressing to the stone age: the we do, our knowledge, our skills, our knowledge remain the same. What is jammed, what went out of control is what did not work before. The ability to produce any goods at low cost is now high, the possibility of obtaining raw materials at fair prices, has now extended the opportunity to trade and exchange has become a common practice everywhere. But this wealth, this strength concrete, real, material is mortified and deformed. Jammed, it forced the "private" instead of for someone to wealth for all. For them, the wealth, it our wealth, should be aimed at profit; For us, wealth means free from difficulty, to live a better and peaceful life, dedicated to the happiness. Only the profit - greed for profit, not just earnings - has become anachronistic. It has played a role in the overall production of goods, when the world was scarred and wounded by the need by need, by scarcity. It was the spring individual who has worked longer and better than any attraction collectivist. Today is historically illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional. Today the private hoard spring, that it may be only against the push for common growth, is disgusting and unbearable. And like everything anachronistic, lacking di senso comune, perché sussistano ancora il suo dominio e i suoi privilegi già dati, diventa violento. Stupidamente, odiosamente violento.
Niente sarà più come prima, dicono adesso. Ma suona più come una minaccia che come un programma di interventi economici. E d’altronde, quali mai «misure» è possibile adoperare – se non ripescando vecchie formule e esperienze – in un mondo, in un tempo che ha a portata di mano nuove forme e nuove istituzioni del produrre e del vivere supportate da una straordinaria possibilità della scienza e della tecnica che rimettono in discussione i «fondamenti» del nostro esserci? Tutto è vecchio, mostruosamente vecchio, quando occorrerebbero invece coraggio, determination, imagination.
A neo-statism, in the form of a revised Keynesian or protectionism reduced pitch or combination of formulas in alliances among states, seems the most common recipe. Yet there can be no "plans" to overcome the national crisis, whose contours are supranational nature. But there is an added "political" of the crisis can be managed locally: a "political advantage" fell from the sky. In that cling national governments and local governments. And were told to keep good acting on our worst sides. Ideological mobilization - Retrieve values \u200b\u200band flags, to homelands and nations, religions and traditions - e risibili provvedimenti economici andranno di pari passo. La crisi è tutta sulle nostre spalle. Il mondo è tutto sulle nostre spalle.
Bene, azzeriamo tutto allora. Default. Ma ai nastri di partenza di questa nuova corsa non ci stanno solo loro. Ci siamo pure noi. Noi e la nostra ricchezza. Noi e la nostra potenza.
La politica ci salverà?
Quelli che ci hanno mandati a ramengo nella crisi, quelli che dovevano controllare, vigilare, stare attenti, quelli che insomma dovevano fare il loro mestiere – il mestiere per cui li abbiamo votati e delegati, e per cui li paghiamo, cioè: governare – e che se ne sono bellamente strafottuti, per intrallazzo, per ambizione, per totale ignoranza e incompetence are the same pundits are now and want to save: they, the politicians, administrators, the courtiers of the Palace. Something does not return.
Something just does not come back if the person who left us the first sink and then throws a lifeline to us has the same face. Something just does not come back if all they have put together measures are: faith and hope. While we stand with bowed head and hat in hand and pray and thank them devout, God-fearing and intimidated by the Apocalypse to come, while making them?
In the crisis, they are not solving the problem are part of the problem. It's their system that goes to pieces, not ours. Are their rules did not work, not ours. Their institutions are not governed, not ours. And now they want to give him a hand? Indeed, efforts and sacrifices they ask us, solidarity and sacrifice, patience and endurance, confidence and serenity. They want us to be virtuous. We ask for our money - those who have and those that we have - both, they all pay with our money, we are their cash, their credit card limits. And we should spend our wealth to them, we should invest everything we have on them, we should bet on the bet that they represent? Sorry, eh, but go fuck yourself, right?
says, but the crisis is global, the Americans, the Germans, are the French, even the Chinese know '- they could do? But how, they have made us a head like that with globalization and the market here and the market there, which was a world of milk and honey, and mo 'are telling us that that was the hell? Today they say the opposite of yesterday, yesterday said the opposite of today, tomorrow who knows what they will say, what matters is that they remain where they are always telling us what is the right thing. Sorry, eh, but a bit 'of shame, no? All I propose is a revival of self-sufficiency - 'Italian consumer "- and a new austerity, all they can say now is that I know gl'Americani' too strong, yogurt, jam, however, is perhaps better than if magnamo du 'macaroni? But I really believe that we are so fooled by any canard Berci tell us?
We have started a transition to the future, in the end of this time. A transition will be painless and will not conflict and turmoil. Everywhere, in every territory, in every city. Here. In this city. Rule this time is not bread for their teeth.
they go away
We are the riches of this city. Rome is full of our wealth, our talents, our creativity, our ability to invent and produce, our desires, our curiosity, of our special quality of building relationships, our desire to live better, our search for happiness. Each in its own way and what can and can do. This site belongs to us, this city belongs to us. This town is our town. We work for some time, to invest our knowledge and our jobs in the public and private sectors. This city has ceased to be under the thumb of provincial and Oltretevere with the end of the long Democrat power, with the great wave of people who had lived through the changes and hopes of the movements of the sixties and seventies and gradually entered the professions, crafts, in trade, jobs, innovations and bringing cultures, languages and circulation of ideas, views and visions, bringing a huge potential for cooperation and social relationships, doing so with little, making the "fortune" of being where there is the greatest asset of humanity, highlighting the extraordinary collective resource that is Rome. Inventing "forms of use 'who rediscover the story - the meaning and beauty of its space - be it daily, but," easy ", as if in thought. All those who have followed the Rome government did nothing to build on this capability, grab it. As it is now appropriate the work of those producers of imagery and culture in recent years were born and raised in Rome - certainly not through the auditorium and the film festival of Veltroni and Bettini, inherited and corrected by Alemanno and Croppi - and that makes movies, video, theater, music, advertising, books, producing things for a good live.
is time to declare our independence. It's time to rule ourselves: any caregiver will be more capable and more care in managing, administering, of them.
are having difficulty, it's their system, the crisis of our wealth. They are the "absolute evil": their tax system, their banking system, their legal system, their distribution system. They are a hindrance to our ability to produce, our ability to create, invent. Really, we can not: we manage our money and squander them begrudge them, we have entrusted our assets - our history, our memory, our beauty, our culture, our property - and if they snap up , neglect them or attempt to destroy, they can not provide for the needs of the city as the minimum daily exceptional situations of emergency. They, the politicians, with priests, bankers and real estate agents.
This city is becoming a place whatsoever, a city-postcard of a city-crib, a city brochure. A mediocre city. A shadowy place, a city that looks like any other, that is consumed like any other, where there is no relationship between the history el'adesso, between what we were and what we are. It is emptied of itself, is a copy of itself, something that can be well in Las Vegas or Disneyland. A place at the same time and armored sloppy, sloppy for us and for them armored. Inside
their crisis, we are facing further instability of work, wage compression, lack of social protection and guarantees, for them, it would be the mandatory order "not to interfere with the maneuver. Their formula out of the crisis, reconstruction of the law of profit has only one ingredient: reducing work in forms of servitude.
That, ladies politicians and administrators of our boots, we give you this news: you've come to an end, it's time to get down. Do not know how to do your job, your profession and we have been. The city will revoke the sovereign mandate, we will be dismissed. You are policy
defaulting tenants, you are abusive. Been illegally occupying our center, our home, our "palaces." If the policemen of this city were less committed to breaking balls to street vendors and the Roma or take bribes and give the sick, and worked a bit ', they should be there in the House, at Palazzo Chigi, the Capitol, on Colombo to evict , to put the seals with the bailiff should.
You have made the political center of Rome a place you, disfigured, making us pay twice the weight of the doubly odious national power and local power. Have you just expanded, with your office, your secretaries, your library, your stocks, your guest quarters and your garçonnieres. Running around town with your blue car. It is time for you leviate of the way, we restituiate our spaces. We'll be generous: go away, beyond the ring road, go away in a detention center, a center of political temporary everything for you. You can play right, center and left as you like, we have to stew for a long time already. At least you're not between your toes, do not give too much bother and already has a thing.
I am my
is time to declare our independence. If there really is something that this crisis demonstrates very clearly is that economic interventions "unthinkable" - the money at no cost, working hours slashed by half to equal pay - are already possible for some time. If there really is something that this crisis demonstrates very clearly is that we live below our means, and not above as they would like to convince us - "He squandered too much," they say - to continue to be delayed. Reformists and conservatives speak the same voice cracked. Quite the contrary, we want so much and everything. We want invent, produce, exchange and consumption. We want to be desired. Those who have few privileges - a safe and comfortable life full of pleasure and beauty - may be opportunities for everyone. The materials are now all possible, to meet your needs. Instead, we are in an economically depressed does not make it to rebound to force the gags and jokes.
But we live below our freedoms. The time of unlimited mass production is finished, the time of unlimited availability to consumers is over. It was the time of vehicles and machinery, and human labor. It also ended the days of unlimited willingness to delegate policy. It was the time totalitarianism and democracy. It is the sunset of a civilization, not only of a system, a civilization that has made the work and production of its power and hegemony, and on work and production has lost its primacy. It happens in history. It goes on. Yet it is the policy of our great history and tradition, the invention of political rights and freedoms. The invention of political revolution. This is what our history has given the world. This is what we can still give to the world. It is our true 'excellence'. It is our policy.
The revolution will be young and Republican. The republic that will be, will be autonomous, free and independent. Roman will. He will live in the decision-making capacity and the expression of each. Representative democracy, which also played an important and extraordinary, is now an empty shell. Was based on a relationship between work and citizenship which does not exist in most forms of the twentieth century. You can not restore or re-found, knows the reaction: the populist tendencies, the small countries in Europe and govern burst. Fill that void so horrible, bring back the clock of history. They even can win briefly, but not stand.
We, we want to fill that void of new republican virtues, new mercies, new freedoms, new happiness, of new institutions.
We want to make Rome the honor of its history, its political history, of its sovereignty. Why is a new way to live in the world.
