Sunday
Sunday newspapers read to coffee, quietly, as in the quiet of a country bar, with commentaries between allied pleased to find himself in the words of Scalfari, the exciting article Sofri. But the real editorial
unaware of the Republic, the one that hit me like a fist, shook my heart and squeezed the belly is another. It 's a picture of the news, not "art", not tamed by the special effects, it's there on page 7.
You see a migrant (in this pleasure of euphemisms, comforters of bad conscience, so even calls them the TG1) which cries, maybe on your knees? holding the hand of an agent Finance. I see again and that photo, I may have drawn incorrect conclusions, I hope, the feeling is that the agent leaves his hand, properly and hygienically protected by a plastic glove, abandoned, immobile, anodyne. It does not seem to reciprocate the close. And the young immigrants landed on Lampedusa, which holds it to him with both hands, vainly begs understanding, perhaps pity.
Pity: it my reaction was the same at the sight of the Ark to Nicholas, in front of those women torn by grief. The same as when faced with the militia, that he fell backwards. The child taken away - to where we know - from a ghetto.
But I do not like the pity. I wish I never had to try it. I wish that our country does not know it, instead putting "compassion", that of Rosa Luxemburg who writes about a buffalo to the yoke, exemplary image of "slavery", that of Kierkegaard, which comes from 'being tested at the same so, what is practiced putting the "place of suffering, instead of every sufferer." That of Schopenhauer, which sees it as an extension of self-love, as its share of pain and others. So I should feel
that a "civil and political compassion, solidarity and common share indignant because the insult done at the suffering is also committed against us all human, against those of us who have suffered abuse misery exile and those who will suffer.
But in these days to pursue something close to the compassion, the voice that was raised was stronger than that of the Church, accustomed to Christian piety. Alzatasi silence on the minds of indifferent to try to cover the ugly noises of the fascists of today, too much like those of yesterday. Ben
be that voice.
But I would like others, legitimized by history to scream.
That equality of the left has constructed thoughts, beliefs and struggles. That "culture" and education, because the overwhelming Racism kills the future, the beauty of thought. That of the institutions, yet independent.
Because unlike the Church I believe that the principle of political equality among citizens and civil is not the result of a natural condition, which precedes the formation of the political sphere. Especially today that it has expanded the gap between the differences of origin, including those living in the West and who among the fat overwhelmed the rest of the world, that of survival and the promise of death by starvation.
Equality "civil society" is not a natural endowment, but a conquest that individuals gain by accessing the public sphere and must be guaranteed by democratic political institutions.
For this offense to the rights of the boy with his cap in the photo on the Republic is a threat to our "right to have rights," a danger to our "citizenship" for our community membership and democratic our exercise of freedom and dignity.
So I would hear the voices of the choir of democracy or what's left. For this we must make our voices heard. Before it's too late.

risks of obedience
These days in the wake of recommendations from friends concerned about the pats look insurrection of some utterances of those who are self-appointed "disobedient" I said that we must find streets because of the disobedience is a little risky, do not compromise safety and security.
was wrong.
Or rather I had in mind the dangers of explicit criticism of militant dissent.
However, many are the risks we run.
The first is the legal recognition of racism.
That means giving life to a spiral of discrimination, injustice, repression.
That means that the hopelessly corrupt "ring of sociability" our privileges, our well-being are threatened by others, therefore, take refuge among us like, with the same religion, the same traditions, same skin color, the same brands and the same logos and the same consumption, largely as values shared.
This erosion of sociability and solidarity mark all areas of social life and gradually create hostility in a circle inexorably destroys the public interest and its tenets of legality, impartiality, care of the general, replaced by the primacy of immunity and impunity ...
From mistrust, fear, suspicion, since the closure results in a loss of the sense of the future. What
agenda of government - and we see it - but especially in moral terms, it determines and authorize actions and emergency-type measures, dictated by a policy management "business area". But there is another
front opened by this law, which shows a "culture" authoritarian and authoritarian indifferent to the universality of rights, parliamentary and the dialectic of belief, for due process and critique.
And it is the injury done to the constitutional rights when defending human dignity and guarantees of asylum and hospitality.
Even if this offense has a large representation! There is no consensus that can justify the violation of the forms and limits that the Constitution states.
To disobey this, pay some price in the immediate is an investment in democracy and legitimacy in the future. Efforts are needed to make inroads also on collective beliefs dominate where indifference, distrust, resignation and the conditions of authoritarian disturbing outcome of a conflict or even paradoxical discrepancy between legality and legitimacy.

Job Site: Helping disobedience with the competence
in our country have become law, the state racism, apartheid, exclusion from the rights, the erosion of the bonds of social cohesion, injury to dignity.
And there was an estrangement from the positive processes of globalization. To which we must respond by retrieving the positive sense of both security and freedom, assuming that security and liberty can not survive outside of political structures that link at the same time, individual autonomy and social solidarity, the identity of citizens as rights holders and members of a social and civil defined and characterized.
It is, I believe, to give strength to the content of equality and liberty retrieving and updating the institutions, processes information, the political agenda in everyday life. In our society has become blurred, because of the crisis and subsequent entrenchment of a selfish interest in defense and special privileges and caste, the demand for equal political protection. It does not seem to find a place instances of development of a democracy, the guarantor of freedom in diversity. The politics of fear seems to have prevailed on the basic principle of the autonomy of persons as free and equal moral agents on a vision of freedom and democracy based on mutual compatibility of collective identifications, even divergent and even alternatives.
It is said that the primacy of selfishness on the definition of a collective identity and changeable. And it is a deep wound inflicted on the community of democratic citizenship, open and inclusive, because it creates differences and divisions in the rights and civic duties, and returns an image of freedom as an exercise of dominion over each other.
If we lived in a community largely "Illusory" Currently there are no more misunderstandings. The so-called Security Act is a pillar of the architecture that perpetuates social and economic inequalities in terms of titles, opportunities and access to resources. Confirming the iniquity of the lottery of life conditions depending on the initial endowments of natural and social, of being born in one part or another of the world, benefit or prejudice, or belonging to a caste. We talked about
yards disobedience thinking of comparison sites feel free to those consciences which along with civic anger recall the year of the policy, membership of the polis, and who want confirm the equal value of equal liberty for the people, restore the ethical importance of a range of men and women can lead to a policy of extending citizenship rights.
This is disobedience. To distance themselves from the politics of suspicion, fear, of repression. But
disobey is risky. Someone pointed out that for some is a luxury that you pay dearly. For example, I am one of those: I have long made life choices and living a condition of a certain freedom with respect to constraints and responsibilities, work and family. For others, disobedience means higher prices.
's why we ask a range of technical and professional skills to help us. Disobedience in order to exercise more effective and to reduce personal exposure to those who do not have to pay too dearly for freedom of expression, the militancy, solidarity, and civilization.
