The years of terrorism, of shootings in the streets, of massacres in cities, are unfortunately no longer just a distant memory, because there are subjects who try in every way to recover that past, resurrecting it in actions and calls to fight. They are young and very young people who see it radicalization as a solution. They don’t say it explicitly in the streets, where however their chants are those chanted in the bloody Years of Lead.
The last to express her opinion on anarchy, armed struggle and radicalization was Valeria Fonte, writer and columnist for Corrado Formigli at Piazza Pulita. While the journalism of gauche caviar he pontificates on the fascist alarm and builds his own “monsters”, his commentators even hypothesize war. The day after the elections, Fonte wrote on his social channels: “Of yesterday’s (predictable) abstentionism, only one sincere certainty remains: trust in the party system, which is based on ademocratic idea liberal in which the 18-30 age group no longer recognizes itself“.
From his words, therefore, we learn that the young and very young no longer believe in democracy, the one for which their grandparents, the same ones of whom they say they are moral heirs, fought and gave their lives. And what do young people believe in today? “Democracy has lost the guarantee of being an alternative. Younger people live in the squares and want a commune of anarchist style. We’re here radicalizing. Everyone“. Obviously, Fonte wrote his message with the grammar typical of inclusive people, which does not respect the rules too much, so it was adapted.
There are two elements that emerge strongly from these lines: anarchy and radicalization. Two enemies of democracy whose seed is germinating in the young generations, those who in a few years will make up the country’s ruling class. Under what conditions? “This is a breaking point. We are trying them all. And after this chaos, where we are all disillusioned, only one thing can happen: the armed struggle“, writes Fonte again. And, in conclusion, he adds: “Let’s Dance. Because there will be a lot of dancing“.
What should we expect in the coming months? We certainly don’t discover that young people don’t love democracy from Fonte’s words, it’s enough to frequent the squares to understand that the new generations are completely divorced from democratic concepts and that they are incapable of supporting and facing the dissent.
Having grown up in a historical moment of peace and incited by the “bad teachers” who agitated the streets 50 years ago, perhaps out of boredom they look back with nostalgia to those very eventful times. We should always look in both directions to understand what is happening in the world, otherwise the risk, for television salons, is to only do propaganda.
