An ancestral, deep hatred, light years away from reality and common sense. The Italian left wants to destroy Western values. Those based on the freedom of the individual and the community, on respect for our traditions, on the search, first through study and then through work, for individual affirmation. Professional and economical. The umpteenth confirmation of a drift as crazy as it is dangerous comes from the adherence of Sinistra Italiana Milano to «Nothing to celebrate Stop War – Stop Racism», the procession organized, for Saturday, November 4, by Milano Antifascista Antiracista Meticcia and Solidale, which will begin in Piazzale Oberdan and you will see associations and parties demonstrate to condemn the war between Israel and Palestine and call for a ceasefire. Obviously the chosen date is not absolutely random. The large group of Hamas friends will parade through the streets of the Milanese capital in conjunction with another demonstration, the one announced by Matteo Salvini. On the occasion of Armed Forces Day, the leader of the League called on members and supporters to defend Western values. The Italian left convincingly organized a counter-demonstration that “wants to be the response to this initiative”.
«The dangerous instability that characterizes the global geopolitical confrontation today – we read in the declaration of the movement led by Nicola Fratoianni – favors the proliferation of regional conflicts, but at the same time it cannot allow the opening of such a dangerous new theater of war in the Middle East. Therefore, an immediate reduction in the use of weapons must be continued until a definitive ceasefire is reached. Despite the tragedy and deaths of recent days, we cannot give in to the defeat of reason, politics and negotiation, but we must keep open at all costs the prospect of resuming dialogue and negotiation, starting with the release of prisoners. The prerequisite, however, is the end of the carnage and confrontation which, on the contrary, continues, day after day, to sow death, destruction and hatred.”
It goes without saying that next Saturday will be a very difficult day for those who live in Milan. Traffic interruptions and increasing tension. Because, beyond the usual guarantees, it is difficult not to foresee clashes between the two groups. Especially if the most extreme wings, the anarcho-insurrectionists, also participate in the march “against” the League. On the other hand, the left, after having lost the dream of the Future Sun, the class struggle and the triumph of the proletariat, has been blinking its eyes at the greatest enemies of the West and its values for years: Islamic extremists. A very dangerous drift, but certainly not new. Just think that, as early as 1984, the rock group CCCP (a group certainly not far from the utopias of the Communist Party) sang Punk Islam. A text that, if heard today, sounds almost prophetic: «Allah is great and Gaddafi is his prophet».
