False Federalism and Democratic Federalism (reply to Antonio Sammartino)

Dear Anthony, thank you for this letter (see website fb 'supporters of the New Party of Action').

For we must insist on the contradictions and infringement of this right ambiguous and misleading, which appropriates words like 'freedom', 'democracy', 'popular sovereignty', 'federalism', to bend their genuine sense of empowerment and progress, distorting it into that of a mere instrument for the assertion el ' monopolization of power by the oligarchs of old and new factions of more or less business, who did not scruple to pollute the levels of civilization that our country has painstakingly achieved, preparing to clear one after another, to their particular interests , the achievements of the Italian people in the recognition and protection of citizen's rights and human as such.

The explosive situation in prisons, the result of a policy of repression, discrimination and persecution of immigrants, religious intolerance of an instrumental nature (which sometimes takes on tones and rough forms of ignorance and is an expression of a medieval mentality still), the return - in the name of proclaimed and practiced not a meritocracy - the principle of hierarchy and social selection (which inspired the so-called 'reforms' and the school administration and labor policies, as yet unrealized, since we think the crisis to inaugurate) constitute sufficient evidence of the kind of society and the type of 'modernization' that the right has in mind. And what will materialize soon, unless we can awaken the conscience of the dangers we are running and if we can not help workers classes, disappointed by the serious responsibility and inertia of the left and the middle classes, by their nature, permanently uncertain, fragile and fluctuating , to evade the charm and the seduction of false promises and projects they certainly have no part whatsoever.

Federalism is still understood by the League in terms of de facto secession of Italy from the rest of 'Padania' and in Lombardy, to separate the fate of the area or region of the richest and most developed country with parts of it which, although having previously made an essential contribution to this development in terms of financial and human resources, are lagging behind. With regard to free weights from the North of Italy, from the bonds and snares that involves the unitary state, the League defended the need for financial oligarchies, agricultural and industrial North who want to have a free hand in the European and global economic competition, while in return the favor made to the dominant social classes, the League reserve to itself the political control of the future regional state, which aspires under ethnic-territorial ideology, which bases its potential leadership exclusive. This oligarchic

Federalism and coordinating shared by Berlusconi for the same purposes of dominance - so closely associated with the presidential system - is the distortion and caricature of what the Action Party, from its inception (1942) identified as revolutionary goal, to transform the democratic structure and centralized monarchy of the Kingdom of Italy: a model of State, outlined by a despot, as was Napoleon, had favored the establishment of fascism, long enough an episode demonstrated how the 'March on Rome' and the rise of Mussolini to the government, because the whole country, which was not fascist, if not in small part, it became in a short time, once reduced to impotence and neutralized the opposition's democratic bodies.

History unfortunately repeats itself, when the forces intact and forward-looking and are tacitly implicated as unrealistic - as D'Alema today - and you prefer the shortcuts of the various 'compromise' on matters pertaining to the coordinates of the same civil society . The

Action Party then proposed - and returns to repeat today - three capitals innovations for democracy in Italy

1) 's elimination, or at least an effective contrast - politically, economically, socially, of all those forces which make use of the apparatus of power to reactionary purposes or private interests

2) the reform of the constitutional structure in truly democratic way, which would allow access of new forces and youth and renewal of the elites with a movement from the bottom up and not vice versa

3) the articulation of the state in a decentralized body and, therefore, federalism, but focuses on a 'local authority from the solid homogeneous consistency and breath sufficiently large' - the region - as an organ of democratic self-government, with the municipalities , become effectively autonomous, their viable cells.

Federalism may be understood as pure and simple rationalization of the state coordinating as a tool for better control of the periphery by despotic governments, according to the principle of 'divide and rule' . Or, in the opposite direction, constitute a system of political and civil life truly democratic, independent, creative , which serve to promote local traditions and resources, new energy, spontaneous talents in an atmosphere of freedom and commitment to the development of community and the entire nation. The difference between the

divisive concept or, on the other hand, authoritarian of federalism and the democratic federalism comes down to that between the paternalistic view of people as culturally undifferentiated unity and in need of a guide that provides its 'good' and the vision of a pluralistic society of free citizens in their personal life plans, provided that the competing collective improvement.

Federalism is truly innovative and progressive only if it is restored in the most authentic and the extensive democratic method for the formation of collective will, the decisions of public interest in the selection of elites and in monitoring and evaluation of their work. Not only in ' field of politics , but also in different institutions , which must go back to being autonomous and completely withdrawn from external influences of the political context of bureaucracy , where the posts should be subject to the elective principle; in economic , in which the choices of major public and social order can no longer be left to the choice of management, no information, control and power decision of workers and the community.

democratization of politics, institutions, bureaucracy, business financial and economic was, and even more so today, our proposal for change and for a better society of young and old to cling to power like a miser to his safe. The current

mortification of communal autonomy is, unfortunately, indicative of the type of federalism to which we are slipping if he does not soon the government of the right.
