Gloryhole's In The Us

In the end ...

A tot of nights ago a dear friend suffering from acute Berlusconi asked me to do with provocation, in front of a great pizza with fried Dessì, which "would "Today the values \u200b\u200bof the Left. We were in the midst of a discussion in which the nice diner describing his beloved as the greatest haunted by the courts in our history and then my state boiling was at the alert level.
Instead, answer a question like that requires quiet, reflection and a lighter meal ... And then, in no particular order here is some food for thought, who do not want anything to be exhaustive on the subject.

is not easy to indicate, without falling into banality or rhetorical, in what a person believes the left. I is easier rather throw down a few lines on what I believe. Needless to say, being left today is very different from 20-50-100 years ago: the categories of thought change with the times. And thank goodness. I confess that makes me smile who in 2011 declared a town, even though I feel deep respect for the history of the Communist Party, is less absurd, to me, yet declare themselves socialist, at least in Europe. Of course, in Italy, the PSI has completed its historical path rather disgraced, but in this case, his distant tradition (Nenni, Pertini, etc..) Deserves respect.

And then, what I seek, I and from the left, in what I think? In the first place I would put social justice. Well, I do not rely on the socialization of capital, the collectivization of factories ol'esproprio proletarian, but if the gap between rich and poor were not so stinking (and increasingly) large, would not hurt. Then, I believe in respect for the law and rules, which is structured in different ways: from avoiding minchiam to park to make the correct collection, from paying taxes to not buy fake goods, etc. ... just to give examples, a little ', yes, for minchiam. And not because I fear punishment, I do it because it is right.

I believe in the Italian Constitution and the best result that could get Italy is to apply it in earnest. I believe in the liberality of opinion and action the so-called ethical issues, because every individual has the right to self-determination. Compared with those who have a religion, as it is, but I fight because religion does not interfere in matters of state: pretend to live in a secular country. I believe in meritocracy: everyone should have the same opportunities and then may the best win. The work is a right, but rights are a serious matter, then so is work. I believe that every person should be judged for what he does, not what it is.

I would like the Italian TV did not sleep as the nodal point to the conscience. Ok for fun and fooling around, for heaven's sake, but let's not forget the enormous powers enjoyed by this ubiquitous appliance speaker. Needless then to say, that internationalism is the stuff of the past. After the decades of rhetoric on the country, today I can confidently say that I love my country and I proudly wave the Tricolour, not only when they play the Blues. Nothing nationalism, however: immigration and crime are not the same thing. The diversitàm as it is, is a positive factor.

left so we like arguing, each of us is convinced that its both the left and we are divided into many streams, which together could be a rushing river. But no. It 'easier to lock up a multitude of issues and there is always some' "purest" of his neighbor.
On the left we also dream. The problem is that we do not do more.
