Pier Paolo Pasolini: excerpt from Ali blue eyes. (1965)
"It is not that of communism. And, now, you can call it "phantom of democracy." It 'a revolt by the end Empire. And 'one of the symptoms of global crisis on the planet, which is gradually replacing, and will replace in a few years, all the adoring hagiographies of imperial globalization. "
So Giulietto Church begins his article by reflections on the events of recent days involving Arab North Africa, published on Megachip. I find this concise statement of all shared and it would like to leave for a broader debate, which I state, however, the gratitude that I would personally pay tribute to the courage of those who fight today, even for me, the streets of Tunis, Cairo, Tripoli , Benghazi and hopefully soon also in Rabat, Casablanca and Damascus. Even for me, because these mass uprisings, but probably destined to defeat the most genuine of their dreams, are the only serious seeding for some years now, the portion of the world we inhabit. Other portions, such as Latin America, are already on their way to the good seed, but they are far away.
Having said that, not only necessary but also indispensable for me, I would like to propose some themes for reflection and analysis of what is happening.
I really like historical analogies, and I will use them, taking for granted that the analogy should be taken cum grano salis.
What happens in North Africa today reminds me, narrowing the field of politics, the years 1848-49 in Europe.
Even then a general uprising, diverse in purpose and aims, the magma and therefore chaotic crisis began in the political structures established at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, following the defeat of Napoleon. The political leadership of these movements, uncertain how much more generous and often unrealistic would not allow those movements to win immediately, and within a couple of years, the old ruling class returned to power, but they returned for the last time.
It is very likely to happen the same thing today: the political breakthrough in the North African popular struggles in the Arab world show a great revolutionary fervor but a poverty of political horizons of change, che non lascia molto sperare nel breve periodo: perciò non credo all’enfasi con cui Samir Amin, parla di un possibile “rinascimento arabo”. Da egiziano qual è, però, io capisco la sua speranza e il suo entusiasmo; tanto più se viene da un uomo come lui, protagonista da ormai cinquant’anni di battaglie e passione intellettuale segnata da una merce rarissima ai tempi di oggi: la coerenza ai propri ideali. Penso che Amin non usi la parola rinascimento nel senso che noi europei possiamo darle ma neppure come sinonimo di un a rivoluzione sociale possibile, tanto meno in senso socialista; penso che la usi dandole il significato di risveglio, presa di coscienza.
Tornando invece a Giulietto Chiesa, egli afferma the ongoing struggles to deal a mortal blow "hagiographies of imperial globalization."
Nothing will ever be born and stance after the fall of the Berlin Wall is put aside in this part of the world and will be very important reflections on 'Europe as a whole, putting even more crises in the already almost non-existent units.
Basically went even so in full 800. Before the Carbonari sought to diminish the framework established in 1815, having only to do some damage here and there, but by a generation that would last over time, the fire smoldering under the ashes in 1830, France was the first blaze, too limited but also important because it strengthened the generation that had survived the breakup of the Carbonari, leading to both a second in the heat of battle, and finally the years 48-49.
If you look back over the history of movements and the attempts of resistance to neoliberal globalization (with its ideological and equipments that Fukuyama's end of history, the Chicago school of economics of Milton Friedman, TINA, etc.. Etc..) 1 scenarios are very similar.
Zapatista insurrection in Chiapas, the Madrid conference the circle of people (both 1994), then the intercontinental meetings, the rediscovery of strategic indigenous issue in the American continent, have created some of the conditions have changed la situazione bloccata dell’America latina. I forum delle alternative sono stati un altro momento, ora esaurito o in via di esaurimento, di confronto su alternative economiche possibili e strategia di difesa sul piano sociale, ora le insurrezioni. Qualcuno potrà domandare a questo punto che cosa c’entrano queste insurrezioni con tutto ciò che le precede e che sembra riguardare altre aree del mondo. Ovviamente viene qui alla luce il limite di ogni analogia, ma la differenza con il 48 europeo è anch’essa facilmente percepibile. Quel mondo non era globalizzato, o meglio lo era all’interno di aree geopolitiche ristrette che tendevano ad essere sistemi relativamente chiusi. Oggi un evento che sembra lontano da noi ha ripercussioni immediate even here, the closed system is the planet in its full extension. If ever the question is another: why the "forty-eight" broke out right there? He could break out anywhere else? Again the answer is not possible and it is true that no one had expected. If you are alarmed to read the forecast of this dangerous revolutionary organization is the International Monetary Fund, says since the beginning of 2008, the increase in food commodity prices would generate popular uprisings in many countries. These figures I have given myself in my paper recently published on the website of the Community & Communism. Among the countries that were at risk specified by the presiding of the Fund were: Egypt, Tunisia, Bangladesh (where the riots have erupted in fact) and some states in central Africa! Where is the surprise?
That said, however, it is clear that in popular revolts in the course is not the only component of hunger, the desperate social conditions, even though they play a major role. The policies of the IMF and World Bank have impoverished the people of the southern hemisphere but not all the same: Libya, for example, is not under the same conditions of poverty in Egypt. Reading the analysis of these days and following the very site of the Church and others, I think there are three main components:
1) the social question cited above.
2) The attempt of the Imperial to anticipate the collapse of some schemes decoctions.
3) The distress of a generation of young people without work and without any prospect or at least educated and cultured but then with more and more marked critical.
4) The Islamic organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and its allies.
5) The amplification generated by the media fast, first as a television and Aljazira al-Arab, more than the usual Internet and mobile phones.
It is difficult now to take such arrangements in the short term (between now and the end of the year when elections are Egyptian) this uprising, also because it is unclear what will happen in Libya, but perhaps this will suffice for a few days, while it will take longer to see if the geographical area of \u200b\u200bthese upheavals is set to expand or not. Some partial deductions, however, can begin to draw.
1) The non-Islamic organizations are spearheading the movement for the first time in twenty or thirty years. Which are among the most organized political forces, and therefore capable of policy responses more than others is true, but the movement now and have not been promoted. In Tunisia this is especially evident, since it seems that there really nobody knows what to do: the void non è stato riempito. In Egitto la prudenza dei fratelli Musulmani è evidente.
2) L’Europa sonnolenta e immobile è stata costretta a un brusco risveglio: l’Europa e non solo l’Italia perché problemi quali l’approvvigionamento energetico, l’aumento dei flussi migratori, le ripercussioni sulle aziende coinvolte, non sono problemi da poco per nessuno. Questa emergenza non potrà essere rimossa come si è fatto furbescamente fino ad ora, fingendo di non capire (oppure non capendolo sul serio come sostiene Pino Arlacchi nel suo articolo), che i regimi corrotti con i quali si continuava a trattare e a commerciare erano vicini al crollo.
Come reagirà l’Europa alla questione Libya is now central? The absence of any semblance of politics and fear could be a very dangerous melange, partly because the risks are very serious. Europe can withstand the combined effect of the energy supply problems and rising oil prices rebound on companies most exposed (not only Italian), migratory patterns?
Second question. The clashes in Libya, where insurgents also appear to have their heavy weapons, enough to control all of the important parts of the territory, suggests a clash inside the regime and a civil war. So the question whether the rebels have the banks out of Libya is not farfetched. A news on nonchalantly from Tg1 thirteen is that in Europe we are discussing the possibility of armed intervention course 'humanitarian'. So that is a hoax because there is no autonomous European military structures of NATO, nor a common European defense. This means the U.S. will necessarily be involved and this would enable them to get their hands on Libyan oil, strategically important for Europe and the control of which had hitherto largely excluded. If so it would be quite clear that between the riots in Tunisia and Egypt and what is happening in Libya, the differences are abysmal. If so, Europeans would be called upon to bear also economically a war (anything but humanitarian shipments), which would call into U.S. hands control of Libyan oil and download only the European countries the cost of a mass migration. Also endure this or we'll wake up at least a little '?
