Original Midnight shouting Sub Text / Ziwu
According to media reports, in the parliamentary elections ended on September 25, Italy, local time on September 25, the center-right alliance composed of the Italian brothers, the Alliance Party and the Italian Forces Party won about 45% of the votes and won the election; while the center-left alliance led by the Italian Democratic Party, which evolved from the right-turning transformation of the Italian Communist Party, only won 27% of the votes.
Giorgia Meloni from the Italian Brotherhood Party will become the new Prime Minister of Italy. When reporting this news, domestic media generally emphasized that Meloni will become "the first female prime minister in Italian history", but this title has nothing to do with women's liberation and does not have any progressive significance.
Because Meloni is a loyal "fan" of Mussolini and a "right-rooted and black-skinned" fascist. She participated in right-wing violent groups when she was young and publicly praised Mussolini as a "excellent politician". She only publicly cut off from fascism for political correctness after being elected as a member of the National League in 2006, but this did not affect her true political beliefs and class stance.
The Italian Brotherhood led by Meloni is the remnant of Mussolini's fascist party. After World War II , even Mussolini's granddaughter served as middle and high-level leaders in the party; the party was just a small party with a support rate of only 4% four years ago, and now it has become Italy's largest single party.
In terms of domestic policy, the Italian Brotherhood advocates cutting social welfare like all right-wing parties. For the Brotherhood Program, it says, "Abolish basic income... For those who are capable of working, train courses and strengthen active labor policies"; in addition, the Brotherhood Party is also xenophobia and " white supremacy". Meloni's claim on blocking the coastline has won it the support of many lower-class Italians who are hostile to the third world immigrants.
In foreign policy, Meloney is a staunch supporter of the old order dominated by American imperialism, repeatedly making remarks about disbanding the euro zone, and has always been "pro-US and anti-China". During her run a few days ago, she was interviewed by Taiwanese media, saying that she "strengthen cooperation with Taiwan after being elected." Last month, she also met with the head of the Taiwan office in Italy and called the other party "ambassador"; several European parliamentarians who hyped the Xinjiang issue in 2020 were close to Meloni, and she herself served as the chairman of the conservative party of the European Parliament; in 2019, Meloni was one of the earliest European politicians to support Hong Kong independence; during the 2008 Olympics, Meloni also called on Italian athletes to boycott...
Therefore, the victory of Meloni and the Italian Brotherhood marks an accelerated right turn in Italian politics and even the entire European politics.
This accelerated right turn and fascism in Italian politics is not isolated. Earlier and typical of the United States' former president Trump came to power (the current president Biden although nominally belongs to the left-wing Democratic Party of bourgeois , but has implemented a series of imperialist policies that are more right than Trump). In Europe, Sweden has appeared the first government in history to form a cabinet based on extreme right parties. The French far-right party National Alliance has become the third largest political party, Finland hrt The extreme right forces in countries such as ml2, Denmark are also rising at an unprecedented momentum...
On the eve of the outbreak of the total global capitalist crisis, social contradictions and class contradictions in various places are intensifying unprecedentedly. On the one hand, the bourgeoisie needs stronger and more authoritarian agents to come forward to calm various contradictions. On the other hand, the "polarization" of society also provides a breeding ground for the rise of the extreme right forces in Europe and the United States. This scene is similar to the historical moment before the outbreak of World War II.(Although it does not mean that the war will come immediately)
is the decline of the American workers' movement due to long-term cruel suppression by the US government. The bankrupt working family in the "rust belt" became a staunch supporter of Trump. Similar to the fact that after the Italian Communist Party turned right, the working class in the northern industrial zone was abandoned, leading to the gradual extreme rightization of the northern industrial zone, causing the rise of Italy's far-right wing , the more prominent of which is the Italian Brotherhood; coupled with the struggle for survival opportunities in Italy by immigrants and the xenophobic propaganda of the bourgeois media, the right-wing parties that generally advocate extreme nationalism and xenophobia are even more in the water.
However, the blinding and exploitation of the underlying people is only temporary. The bourgeois left wing cannot reconcile class contradictions, and the bourgeois right wing is even more impossible to eliminate class contradictions through powerful erasure. Unless the bourgeoisie has special means and "decisiveness" to directly launch wars and transfer conflicts to the outside world, those lower-class voters who support Meloni today may become opponents of Meloni tomorrow because the "blank checks" cannot be cashed.
And just the day before Meloni was elected, also in Europe, on September 24, local time in France, French Maoists broke through the police ban in the working-class community and organized them successfully to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Gonzaro Tiger Cage Speech.
They raised the red flag of the portrait of Marxism-Leninism and Mao, and carried the portrait of Gonzaro , and preached to pedestrians and local residents in French and Spanish. Revolutionary slogans and songs followed one after another, and passers-by raised their fists or shouted slogans to welcome the team.
Although the Peruvian Maoist guerrillas led by Gonzaro may have made mistakes of being separated from the masses more than 30 years ago, their revolutionary stance and will to fight are admirable; Gonzaro's "tiger cage speech" that preached Maoism and revolutionary internationalism 30 years ago is still exciting today.
Gonzaro was arrested in an operation planned by the CIA 30 years ago. He spent more than 29 years in prison and eventually died in prison. However, since he never surrendered or surrendered, it is this spirit of never surrendering and never surrendering that inspires contemporary people who pursue fairness, equality, and social progress. This is one of the reasons why Gonzaro's speech can still be remembered by the revolutionary masses on the other side of the Atlantic 30 years later.
This scene happened in France is also not isolated. In the heart of global capitalism, the Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, New York City, thousands of workers have been involved in a tough and long union struggle for years. Although economic struggles remain their primary purpose, American socialists involved have realized the importance of taking root at the grassroots, reintegrating with the working class, and constantly politicizing the workers’ movement. Against the backdrop of the increasing economic crisis and the increasingly cruel capital exploitation, workers in companies such as Starbucks, , Apple are actively carrying out new historical attempts and making gratifying progress.
is similar to the rise of another round of "Mao Zedong fever" in B station and , where young people gather in recent years. Since the financial tsunami in 2008, the developed capitalist camp has also seen an unprecedented and continuous "Marx fever". From New York to London, and then to Tokyo, there have been scenes of people queuing up to buy "Das Kapital". A bookstore poster on Broadway Street in New York reads: "What Marx said is fulfilled." Although this may also be a marketing method for booksellers, it is beyond doubt that the masses have become welcome to Marxism again.
Although the global capitalist crisis deepens and the class contradictions intensify, the top level to the right and bottom level to the left will become an inevitable trend, and this will inevitably mean the overturn of the capitalist order of !
