UNA POLITICA PICCOLA PICCOLA n° 7
L'ancienne regime and the Revolution Mi chiedo come sia possibile superare una crisi economica gravissima, se questa è sovrastata da una crisi morale devastante, che investe tutti gangli del potere. Dalla prima si può uscire, dalla seconda, considerando gli attori, è molto difficile, quasi – un “quasi” di ottimismo - non c’è speranza.
Mi sembra di essere nella Francia di Luigi XVI e di Maria Antonietta. Il popolo moriva letteralmente di fame e la regina indicava nelle brioss la soluzione; il popolo protestava i propri diritti e veniva aggredito dall’esercito; i cittadini più illuminati raccoglievano claims in the cahier des doleances Versailles and have fun in the sumptuous feasts; l'ancienne regime was finally in the corridors of power and the days passed between lights and music.
They could avoid the revolution? Maybe. But the king and his court now lived away from the problems, the caste at Versailles did not feel the pain, did not know the problems you discussed the population, did not understand why now even that thin line of morality that led to respect for others was cut.
taxes were the few who pay them - the Church and nobility were exempt and not only -, the contracts were managed cheerfully, crime was rampant, the rich became richer and the poor get poor, if poverty can be given a plus sign.
In our buildings seems to go on stage the ancienne regime. The actors with their vices are all there, inflated contracts, legalized theft, cliques, lobby, business people, crime
... What we lack in order to feel in France on the eve of the Revolution?
Maybe nothing, maybe not ... who knows! One fact, however, is certain: we have the political class is going to commit suicide without notice, cloaked in the Byzantine cunning they think puts them protected from nasty surprises. They think they are immortal and are frothing at the mouth.
have aggravated our politicians. They are professing Catholics and therefore know the phrase uttered by Samson "Samson died with all the Philistines."
The fear now is that our great statesmen in order not to leave the power to commit a series of odd actions and then fail to halt the drift, throwing the country into political turmoil and institutional solutions to violent regime.
Just look at the two motions in Parliament: a distrust of the Democratic Party and IdV the House and one of the PDL of confidence in the Senate. Everything to make intractable the crisis that already exists and is severe enough.
The French Revolution had its own size ...
