Disturb maneuvering
of
Mauro Nieddu
The dream of the demilitarization of the archipelago of Maddalena lasted very little: no time to prepare for the start of the U.S. ships that now there is going to turn the island into a fort, a rainbow of green areas left, yellow, red. The colors were all approved in Genoa in red with the blood of protesters brutalized by the police. Another G8 in Italy, therefore, a new challenge for the mobilization of the left who still considers and anti-neoliberal movement. And in Sardinia? Of course it hurts to see their land turned into a huge glass dome to serve as the stage performances of the cloying self-proclaimed world's great, but it would be a big mistake if we read the key event in just localist. The left Sardinia to take this opportunity to integrate fully in the debate on global crises in the regular informal meeting of leading industrialized countries is symbolic. A vertex whose popularity seemed unstoppable decline in just a few years ago, to the point of calling into question their very existence: what is an event that is essentially a showcase, political marketing in other words, when only arouses protests? However, the ebb of the movement has allowed this pseudo-institution to pass the crisis and recur in our country in a climate very different from that of 2001. This allows these summit meetings to achieve the purpose of incorporation for which they were born to symbolically represent the power-democratic elites of these countries have on the rest of the world. From this point of view will be important to the role that the forces of the left, now all the government unlike in 2001, will be able to play. We must be able to exert a strong counterweight to the temptation that will inevitably breach the provincialism Italiot of many members of the majority of the center and especially the Democratic Party, that is, to accommodate the typical character of the media preview of this summit, being careful to bring out elements of differentiation, so as to give priority to news reports in the aspects of color and placate the group photo the eternal anxiety of identity that characterizes the political sense italiana.In this remarkable progress has been made but the rest of the world and does not escape the role of the alter-globalization movement in unmasking the deceptions that the most obvious were concealed from the media spotlight. It's a long time now in which middle powers such as Italy yearned for acceptance in quel consesso, e ottenere così la sanzione del proprio ruolo. Oggi i paesi che non ne fanno parte, e soprattutto le potenze emergenti dell’Asia e dell’America Latina come Cina, India, Brasile, Argentina e Venezuela, non sono disposte ad abdicare alla rappresentanza dei propri interessi in cambio di un invito a fare da spettatori ai vertici, consapevoli che solo all’interno di istituzioni realmente democratiche possono far valere la forza dei loro numeri, la maggioranza degli abitanti della terra, rispetto ai numeri dei G8 che sono essenzialmente quelli del denaro e degli eserciti.Rimane tuttavia fondamentale il ruolo che una nuova cittadinanza globale è in grado di svolgere nella realtà in cui viviamo. Occorre riportare al centro the scene points to the contradictions and crisis of the global order, elements which are intimately related to the neoliberal model of development, a model against which the elites of the G8 does not appear willing to accept any change of course. Therefore, there is little or nothing to be expected as a courtesy of the sovereign, much can be achieved by conquering the space of a new global agora, in which to achieve the integration of all elements of social conflict within the system and liberal now confined within the boundaries national. Democracy therefore, as a conquest to be achieved for the citizens of the world, as individuals and as a multitude, and not as a model ready-to-wear horse to be exported to the dominant ideology or worse on the wings of bombardieri.Ritorna once again the problem of hegemony, now firmly in the hands of right-wing world. Too short was the season of the movements in which many of us had seen the dawn of a new era. Once again, this is an underestimation of the strength of the enemy, a force that comes from being able to determine the conditions of life of each of us. Certainly the popularity of the traditional centers of promotion of neoliberal policies is to a minimum, we think of the disrepute into which to institutions like the IMF and World Bank have played a key role in imposing these policies at the global level, acting in the name and account of the Washington Consensus but hiding under the guise impartial institutions. However, the problem is that the system in which we live, in its basic features, it has become common sense for most citizens of Western countries. What you can do the ideological propaganda creates the climate state of siege in which we are forced to live: job insecurity, phobias on immigration, terrorism, escape from politics and participation, pushing the conservation status quo, sapping all the energy of change. These are global phenomena, constitutive features of the crisis of democracy, of which neo-liberalism is the natural but not the actual cancer. We can and must break through this wall, riportando il conflitto sociale al suo ruolo di pratica della democrazia e non di anomalia del processo democratico come anche nel nostro paese, soprattutto dagli ideologi del Pd, viene vissuto. Il G8 può essere una occasione e chiama chi in Sardegna si considera di sinistra a un ruolo da protagonista. Torniamo a disturbare il manovratore.
