had pronounced in Italy, the speech Massimo D'Alema held yesterday evening at the London School of Economics on the crisis and the new challenges of the European left, someone would have thought maliciously all'inveramento Moretti's famous line: "D'Alema, of 'something left." And among the Italian students of the school, who invited him to hold the public lecture by John Loyd introduced, some people thought he really, when he heard the former premier slotting his manifesto to the left of the third millennium: "I would not look too archaic, but I would say that the first great problem for progressives is to put strongly rooted in the people beginning with the ability to rediscover the social conflict in its modern forms and give representation to the world of work and interests. " The return to a facility of the Italian left Labour is not unusual for D'Alema of the last two years. But the lure of the present day "conflict", although the "modern forms', play on the Italian side as a further call for the Democratic Party to move to a facility proudly old labor, as defined by the left that London has no nostalgia of 'Blair was, a basis of representation for the new president of Copasir includes "not only the worker but also the work of craftsmen and small business, affected by the distorted development of the last fifteen years has benefited the financial returns and speculation."
Nostalgia Blairism the door does not even D'Alema, which makes it appropriate to so-called Third Way has produced important innovations and solid experience in government, but the substantial failure decrees, with attached self-criticism: "There have been parties and leaders who have ridden global capitalism with enthusiasm. All of us - some more than others - felt the influence of this innovation that has had its origin mainly in New Labour. Certainly this has helped to ensure another season of the socialist government. In addition I believe that this has been a real and necessary modernization of our culture. However, we failed to remedy the growing social inequalities generated by the development of global capitalism without rules and we appeared substantially in the wake of a neoliberal culture, and then we too involved between the forces responsible for the crisis of today. " Which, according to the former premier, is one of the reasons why in most of Europe is right, especially the harder and more xenophobic, to intercept the discontent and not, as it would be logical in other seasons, the progressive front. D'Alema welcomed the decline but 'dominant financial oligarchy "," Tramonto - he says - the illusion of infallibility dogma of the market. At the center of public debate back basic ideas which are inherent in the socialist tradition. " Raise the issue of equality, as a keyword for the future of the Left ("In recent years we have had some decency, perhaps because it is conditioned by the memory of egalitarianism leveler of bureaucratic socialism.") Do not save a friend-enemy thrust Giulio Tremonti: "He recently said, speaking to the school of the Communist Party of China, that the crisis marked the end the colonial era. Perhaps he also wanted to please his listeners. The end of the colonial era had begun at least a century. " Cites the work of two British researchers Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (authors dith spirit level), become the new gurus of the debate against the dictatorship of the GDP, "have demonstrated - support - as well as an income threshold there is no proportion between growth wealth and improving the quality of life of average people. " Then closes with a quote from Kennedy, "JFK said in July 1960:" Today, our commitment must be to the future because the world is changing. The old era is over. The old roads There are no more "." A vintage touch, but never the one with whom D'Alema also gives a reference to the very first pages of the family, those Marxist "It's the job - he says - which produces wealth and value, how to write our classics '.
