I was 17 years old and I participated, without being a member, in FIGC meetings. I came thrown out with a garnish of insults when it was known that I had a boyfriend and not a girl. She was 1978 and I wasn’t hiding anything. I have always thought that the only possible form of discretion was indiscretion. It was only the first of many actions fascists perpetrated against me by the caller fascists the others.
Many years later, protégés of those who made the peace in words their flag, they censored a cultural event of which he was the creator and director the day before the opening due to the title of a show that seemed to hide who knows what dangerous demon; the title was (for the record) Ad Usum Puellarum: a satire of information on homosexual issueas they called it back in the day fascists who are always fascists the others. I lost money and work, no one defended me – not even those who were in parliament to fight against it fascism antigay – and I continued to live. Those who didn’t defend me from squadrism with designer clothes they keep calling fascists the others.
Gaiaitalia.com Newsthe newspaper that you are reading, has long been the subject of attacks fascists by exponents of that policy created to prevent the proliferation of new fascisms: we were ostracized, reported to social media in every possible way so that we were blacked out, accused of being in the pay of all the parties of the constitutional arc, from the far right to the far left; they commented on us by writing “shut up”, “who the fuck are you”, invariably receiving the response “let’s write what we think we should write”. There were those who called us fascistsof course, saying that they had to be closed since such. Who was the bearer of a thought fascist (the word will excuse us for the offence thought) us or them?
My grandfather, born in 1899, fought in the African war and returned to Italy because he was ill. For reasons I don’t know in detail he was forced to hide in an unknown place because i fascists they wanted to kill him because traitor and the partisans wanted to shoot him because fascist. They are family stories, I don’t know the details, but I believe that in this country we are still at that point: anti-fascism and anti-communism by family tradition. Since 1947 we have been pointing the finger at fascists and communists.
Naturally intellectual honesty it would force the right, especially those in power today, to recognize that the communist danger they rave about in Italy it has never existed because Italy has the PCI (which I have NEVER voted for). contributed to the construction of democratic Italy and his leader they took a risk by going to Moscow to say what they thought. For their part, those who consider themselves the sole custodians of the anti-fascist historical truth they should deal with the errors and the settling of accounts that also that way there have been. The right in power today they should avoid forgetting, shouting Mussolini also did good thingswhich within the Second World War and within the alliance with Hitler with racial laws and concentration camps in tow, brought us this good man which was not a partisan. Intellectual honesty is needed.
For my part I only know one type of fascism and it does not have a political color: it is that particular human characteristic that pushes us to wanting to dominate the other at all costs it’s at try to silence him in any way possible especially when his position not only does not coincide with his own, but is retained dangerous on a social level because contrary to common thought. I say this as a free man willing to do anything to defend his own freedom and that of others, I write it as a person who has chosen writing as his work activity, who fortunately manages to practice it; I say this as a man tired to see a country fighting over a word sacred as anti-fascism looking in any opponent the feature that makes it more fascist of others.
This continues connect to the past it leads to nothing. THE fascisms today they are called Orbán, Putin, they are called market and proliferate together with the impulses oflone man in command which is so fascinating for the current government majority. Learn to fight against today’s autarkiesrather than against fascism of yesterday. This is useful. AND Sangiulian who writes “don’t tell me that there has never been a communist dictatorship in Italy” is the product of that narrative mentioned (but let’s not forget that the Italian Constitution the heirs of the true fascism in the last century they didn’t vote for it): we would have to start again from a new national conciliation which start from scratch and forgive the sins of those who committed them, away from any lie for electoral campaign purposes.
Because while we are fighting, in case we haven’t noticed, the “democracies” are slowly, but with ferocious determination, restricting the freedoms conquered with April 25th. Leaving intact the freedom to slaughter oneself while looking at the past.
