E 'rather than the sugary soup that they served us these days, as a pre-baked and silly New Year's Eve, quell'immancabile event where fun, provided more than is required, so it has almost become a "must" proclaim proudly puffed out his chest with pride and patriotism in this sesquicentennial anniversary of the Italian state.
Leaving aside all the while legitimate criticisms of those who recalled the weight of the interests in the construction of our foreign units, the support of freemasonry, the shady business of the national hero, robbery perpetrated on the crates in the south, the substantial indifference the people who accepted the unit without having contributed, what goes around asking whether there is in Italy now a common sense of belonging that can be recovered and looks to the future with a view to the rebirth of the nation.
And 'what is said in the editorial today with peremptory safety of Corriere della Sera, significantly entitled "Italian pride" where citandosi cases of France and the United States, with a history of bloody civil wars, Spain and Great Britain , still shaken by bloody separatist quakes, surrenders to the comforting conclusion as well as violent conflicts within nations will not preclude the possibility of cohesion and recognition of shared values.
Apart from the fact that in a Europe torn by centuries of religious wars, civil, ideological, the only "values" that guide a nation are those who won the day and the tale of "sharing" is a deceptively clever chorus prepared by for fools, the comparison with Italy is still impractical.
France, the United States and Britain have in common an imperial vocation (in his own way also in Spain) or imperialist resulted in them a broader and more complex, however, their historical development, France and the United States, in time and different ways, but with the same footprint Jacobin, have sought to export the model who had said to them, trying to establish the first cross-border revolutionary model / egalitarian, and the Napoleonic age and the subsequent colonial enterprises and the second flooding of "democracy" and products come out of their factories, everything guaranteed by the puppet governments, territories that affect their geopolitical strategy. More cynical but certainly less hypocritical that the English, without a lot of ideological contortions, and occupied the feudalization dominions, making tax and associating them to their fate.
imperial vocation in any case, the sense of a mission that goes beyond the secular and never dull internal settling of scores, the nightmare of ghosts soothes family giving vent to the vitality and energy that otherwise would fail against each other and is a great way to ensure a fair basis of independence even in lean times. The
shows that France, torn by a bloody civil war no less than Italian and a war even more full of vengeance, thanks to the instinct of De Gaulle was able to escape the power of Anglo-Saxon already become the political and policy of the European world- staying power to ensure autonomy and western areas of feasibility.
Italy, after gl'illusori glories of fascism and the dream have become a nation of world importance, however coll'operosità reborn, with the sense of duty and entrepreneurial coll'iniziativa; our economic boom was our small but significant re-conquest of the world and proved that our country was still alive.
lacking in belligerence, political will and desire to dominate, the Italians - like the Japanese, however, that those qualities were explanted hill hot tongs - converted the civic and military discipline still fresh in economic strength and entrepreneurial.
But the long wave is already over for us and the sense of a shared homeland, with its wealth of good citizenship and education group that the great war and two decades after they had injected in the blood of Italians We have already spent and everything is evaporating and there is no need to explain why nothing is visible to all, the silent majority and hard-working, respectful and fair view of yesterday, today is a minority in a country populated by smart, pimps, servants and peasants, and where the measure of the seriousness can be felt in seeing the student protest led by twenty-seven out of course in political science.
education to those principles, which alone can lead a nation because not based on ideological basis, but spiritual (love of country, respect for authority and self-sacrifice) there are no more, no longer taught or preached and who invokes them is the figure of the fool indeed it probably is. So
Italy in 1861 is already dead, thought to celebrate birthday while he's just celebrated the funeral, the presence of the gravediggers - and this honorable category have only the eerie appearance - Bruno Vespa, Pippo Baudo and Giorgio Napolitano, cabaret stars of the evening of the funeral rites "Italian television has in fact taken the typical grotesque likeness: thunderous applause at the poor extinct, all seasoned with a giant democratic and karaoke singing to the tune of the hymn, Mameli, long live the dead! Long live the dead!
