Think of what we are and what we want

Saturday, February 5, at Palasharp of Milan, the association Freedom and Justice has organized a mobilization with the title resign, calling to participate, among others, Gustavo Zagrebelsky, Paul Ginsborg, Umberto Eco, Roberto Saviano.

Saviano's intervention was very important. He said the explosion of the phenomenon of vote trading (giving their votes in exchange for a favor or for money), which distorts democracy and nullify the value of political confrontation. (Besides, all it takes is 50 euro to buy a vote, while the times of the Christian Democratic Party, Saviano says, to buy one vote necessary to offer a job ...). The basis of the phenomenon, says Saviano, is the idea that politicians are "all equal" all with the same errors, the same shortcomings. This makes the vote rather than X Y worthless. If there is no value I can sell out my vote, take it for 50 €. Or I can give it in exchange for something real (but I do not think, in this case, that something I rightfully! What if I get in return for my vote to lose everything else that I rightfully).
should then return to value the vote, realize that by voting you can change the destiny of their country, by a vote you may change your life. To return to value the vote should realize that politicians are not all equal. Democracy lives in differences.
Saviano also went on to refer to this speech, the phenomenon known as "mud machine" throw mud at anyone who is opposed to power (see the case Boffo, see the history of the house of Montecarlo against Fini, see recent attacks Ilda Boccassini) to demonstrate that they are "corrupt", and so are all the same, ie, all equal in belonging to evil.
So: who wants to gain power bypassing the real political game of democracy takes advantage of the idea that politics is broadly discredited, corrupt, and feeds this idea blurring the real differences .
We must show our diversity, says Saviano, welcoming but not being a minority, not welcoming to belong to the minority of the Pure. The pure are the majority, says Saviano. The country is well, with a minority of criminals. Implicit in his speech, however, is that this minority can not put in check and often dominate the majority, even dimming consciences. In
positive then, according to Saviano, you must:
-
give importance to the vote - against the image of a corrupt political class throughout
- seek our identity in unity with the good part of the country, speaking also to the party at this time is in check, dominated
- refer to the historical patterns of resistance to power criminiale
- dreaming of a different country, think of us being different from the criminals, think about what we are and what we want to build.

seems to me that Saviano has taken a central issue in the culture of the left: we need to reconstruct the values, rediscover, recasting unearthed, and the only way to do this is to think about what we have already good, the good that already exists, and also make an effort of imagination to think of something better might be, do we really want.
