Hymen Bleeding Images

Il lato nacosto della frittata.

La
frittata è fatta, ma sarebbe l’ora di rivoltarla. Perché se è vero che gli accordi di Mirafiori e Pomigliano sembrano ormai definitivi, non si capisce proprio quest’addossare al PD e alla sinistra il fardello della questione. Insomma, dando ascolto ai media e seguendo il flusso delle dichiarazioni sembrerebbe quasi che the government there was Bersani, the minister Vendola economy, industrial relations and welfare Di Pietro Ichino. But no, the Government are the PDL League and the responsibility for what is happening within the system of Italian industrial relations in these days if they have to take them. So rather than go looking for cracks in the left-which do exist, should be asked to Bossi and Maroni what they think of this Agreement, which they claim to have now conquered the working class constituency in northern Italy. Paladins italianity against chinoiserie, the fierce opponents of globalization, what have they done to prevent the emergence of business models from countries in developing countries, limiting their rights and increased workloads? Do not you worry even a bit 'to see our workers transformed in many Chinese workers and put into a competition without network with the Indians or Koreans? And if he does not care, as appears from their complacent silence of these days, how can they claim to represent in some way the workers and their rights?
not fare much better in the PDL, whose ministers Sacconi and Romans-in-head clap believe the proposed Marchionne. Since the way things are, would be the time to point out to him that not only has passed away the farce of the President "worker," but that the whole structure "popular" of the PDL must be abandoned. Just be happy of what is happening to the Fiat reveals the truth of a class party, which is indifferent to the fate of the workers, which is in full agreement on their use and that does not believe is necessary to move a finger to improve the living conditions work and who is placed in a low-end income. The PDL is thus found that the party class of entrepreneurs, showing an old-fashioned vision of the company, designed to recognize only the rights of employers and workers.
And if someone answer that nothing could be done, that the agreements were accepted and to preserve the jobs there was no other choice? To these, which are many, we should say that shows a vision dominated by political economy, the vision that brought us into the economic crisis and has made national and international bankers of the real holders of power. And so to the eye, I have the impression that many voters League and PDL would not be just happy to know that their fate has been delivered, without asking their opinion, in the hands of a supposed elite officials.
But the truth is yet another: che molto il governo poteva e doveva fare in questa fase epocale di trasformazione del mondo del lavoro e delle relazioni d’impresa e nulla ha fatto. Tanto per essere concreti, il governo poteva farsi promotore di piano di sviluppo della Fiat che, attraverso sostegni economici ed agevolazioni fiscali, permettesse un miglioramento della produttività e della qualità delle produzioni. In sintesi, il governo aveva il dovere di spingere la Fiat a competere con gli altri giganti dell’automobile non sul piano del risparmio del costo del lavoro ma sulla qualità e l’innovazione dei propri mezzi. Auto migliori, magari innovative da un punto di vista dei carburanti, ad alto valore aggiunto tecnologico, con operai tanto qualificati e specializzati da become irreplaceable. A development plan calibrated short on competitive strategies outlined by the European Union, which it considers necessary to transform the old continent into a "knowledge economy", to avoid entering into direct competition with those emerging economies that can have a very low cost workforce . The Berlusconi government could propose such a plan Marchionne, leveraging funds for the retraining of staff and development of production coming from Brussels, but felt it was not necessary to do so. Why had no real interest in helping workers Fiat, which has not reserved a tenth of the attention reserved for Alitalia, which instead was nice to other "interests" and for which he has violated an unspecified amount of EU rules.
But such a strategy put in place medium to long term would have also led to the questioning of the economic line of Tremonti, this alleged liberalism cloaked in compassionate paternalism. In short, the recipe for the Treasury to handle the economic crisis is just that of the linear cut spending: a simple and short of breath at the same time, why not offer any direction for development and no incentive for the overall recovery of the Italian competitiveness. Intervene personally in the Mirafiori and agreements Pomigliano would mean for the government also engage economically with all’UE, per delineare un progetto di sviluppo innovativo in un comparto industriale molto importante per il nostro paese. Ma Tremonti non ha voluto derogare al suo schema, pensando che era più comodo e più sicuro fare pagare agli operai il peso della crisi e della ristrutturazione. E comportandosi così in modo assai diverso non solo da paesi notoriamente comunisti come la Germania e la Francia – che hanno speso per riqualificare e sostenere l’innovazione e la ricerca- ma anche dal pericolo socialista Obama, che negli Stati Uniti ha ampiamente aiutato con fondi pubblici l’industria dell’auto.
  In conclusione la vicenda Fiat   è the clear signal that the political crisis of the Berlusconi government
a government that calls itself "making" and that a similar, crucial story does not do anything, including the failure to reform the system of union representation,
a government that claims to be "popular" and "patriotic" and greets with a classic "I do not care" the new problems of Italian workers, showing a biased opinion of him on the wing flattens more authoritarian and "exploitative" of entrepreneurship Italian.
Other than the crisis of the left, then!

Feet Swollen After Birth

Invisible sun

Credo che oggi sia la giornata adatta, per pubblicare. Il 24 dicembre, al mattino, quando molti dormono e tantissimi stanno in giro, a completare auguri e regali. Sono questi i nostri momenti, i momenti delle persone invisibili. Spiegare chi siamo non è facile e non credo neppure che esistano le categorie sociologiche adatte. Si potrebbe provare per riduzione, come un tempo provava a fare con Dio la teologia negativa: ne verrebbe già fuori qualcosa di più chiaro, come la larga esclusione dei ricchi e straricchi dal popolo degli invisibili. Perché ricchezza di questi tempi comporta esposizione, presenza, importanza individuale nelle decisioni, spesso attenzioni media, mostly beggars and cohorts of people questioning and worshiping. Yet not enough. The Invisible Man is not only the non-rich nor the poor. These conditions of possibility but not definitions. The real problem is that to understand what an invisible man should experience this condition, because it is a subjective experience, state of the soul. But many, the vast majority of those who originally could be invisible, try to get away from this experience. This is clearly seen, this fucking fear of invisibility, which operates at every moment of our lives. What is the reason, otherwise, the success of social networks, the ineradicable fascination of television? It seems that the existential journey of many is now the exit from the state of invisibility and the original conquest of Overexposure: many have the desire to have all eyes on you, come to think that something is terribly childish. So does my grandson, who is four years old, and so does the dog, who has 12 years, when you stop looking at them they start doing crazy things just to be noticed. From what I gather, however, do not - because I also have an invisible-that being the center of attention is necessarily beautiful: they are one of those old-fashioned that he believes the human path goes from nature to culture and has a certain distrust per ciò che è “istintivo”. Per istinto, tanto per cominciare, penserei solo ai cazzi miei e, sempre per istinto, dell’altro mi interesserebbe solo quando mi fa comodo. La naturalezza del narcisismo non mi sembra quindi un argomento a favore. Questa divagazione, intanto, ci ha portati ad un altro punto: gli invisibili sono persone responsabili. Intendo gli invisibili che “ci stanno dentro” all’invisibilità, non i frustrati. Chi accetta di non avere tutti gli sguardi addosso, chi non ricerca a tutti i costi la mossa ad effetto, chi vive come comprimario o maschera sul teatro del mondo è già un uomo maturo. In qualche modo s’è fatto una ragione, ha superato lo stato di natura, è became responsible for his actions. Not rich, often at the limit of the fourth was a mature, thoughtful enough: already the picture begins to take shape, like a frame around the empty space. The invisible, I would add, almost never has leadership roles. Not that there are smart people, among them invisible, indeed. But the shame over the years has become a terrible fault, a sign of lack of personality, especially in a country with some ruling class. As the modesty and your self, particularly where the invisible excels. So if you want to command, or drag, it takes the ready wit, a taste of appearing, the rapid response (including all fucked up, but rapid) la sicurezza ontologica di trovarti nel giusto. Così si arriva a dirigere ai nostri tempi, e tuttavia non sono sicuro che sia sempre successo così. Credo che un tempo l’efficienza e la competenza reale contasse di più di certo sensazionalismo della persona ma magari è solo una invenzione nostalgica.
Comunque è interessante che ci sia un popolo di invisibili senza capitani. E’ un altro tratto dell’invisibilità, quello di non avere bisogno del comandante. In questo gli invisibili si differenziano dalla massa anonima del novecento, almeno come viene descritta dalla sociologia e dalla storiografia. Quella appariva come gente frustrata, lo insegna Le Bonn, che non sapeva più qual’era its place in the world and was desperate and hungry a guide, also impractical people like Hitler, Mussolini Singer and company. The equivalent of this crowd, in our times, are frustrated seekers of notoriety, which probably are the majority. People trying to imitate an idol, a charismatic leader. In Italy there are many, perhaps most politically and lie as you know, but if you look carefully you will also find some surprises: the names of the leaders are on so many coats of personal duels in the electoral and parties are everywhere on the agenda. But the invisible, no, having done the exercise of "darkness", having learned to control the natural narcissistic onanism not looking for a leader, why not estimate those who think above and beyond. This does not mean that they have a vision of politics. Tend to have passion for ideas, rather than for people. Ideas have to be an inalienable characteristic of many: for it is believed no one "has an idea," because this is the result of an accumulation of knowledge plural. Think for a moment if only to language, and you can not give me that reason. Of course, in politics, as elsewhere, there are the fools who register their mark and claim to be the inventors of a thought, but this is another sign of delirium individualistic. Loving this idea ideas, the invisible love democracy too. But as also well understood by themselves, the invisible are in favor of participatory democracy, or even direct. Representatives for life's horrors are so different from them to be thought necessary. Representatives term, a rarity in a country like Italy, seem to him most often the lesser evil. They would like the parties and movements that "heroically, with conviction, quantuquamente" are devoid of leader, even if the media live exclusively in small and large players. They want political aggregations where proposals and decisions are formed jointly. Some invisible, including myself, really liked the experience of Prossima Italia a Firenze, con i 5 minuti 5 dati a ciascuno per declinare la propria, di idea.
A tutti questi invisibili che stanno lì fuori vorrei rivolgere quest’anno i miei auguri di Natale. Vorrei fargli sapere che non siamo soli,   anche se così sembra. Vorrei fare sapere che anche se nessuno si cura di noi, anche se nessuno ci trasmette in televisione, anche se nessuno ci legge, ci cita, ci da la parola, noi esistiamo. Esistiamo e abbiamo le nostre ragioni, spesso migliori di chi le urla, le strepita, le declama alla folla. Vorrei anche ringraziarvi. Perché il vostro lavoro nell’ombra è spesso il serio, il più vero, il più importante. Vorrei dirvi di non perdere la fiducia, anche se la politica vi trascura e se il tempo sembra favorevole solo agli esagitati, ai narcisi, ai tronfi. Vorrei dirvi che tra noi, silenziosamente, siamo compagni. Che siamo una forza in movimento. Per resistere e per cambiare. Vorrei dirvi che torneranno i giorni in cui la dignità non avrà prezzo e in cui il lavoro serio e la competenza varrà di nuovo qualcosa.
Buon anno a voi, invisibili. Una luce soffusa si accende nella notte di Natale.
