Richard Simmons Striped Shorts



art. 1. Italy is a democratic republic, founded on work. The sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised in the manner and within the limits of the Constitution .

who follows me from the previous blog on Splinder, knows that once opened this I have not even touched on politics and above all a sense of revulsion mixed nausea that came over me. The latest statements by the Minister Brunetta, however, but they have revived that sense of outrage that is well expressed by the phrase "what the hell is he saying?".
For those who do not know what he's talking briefly summarize the facts. As part of the long, endless and pointless debate between the majority and opposition on the issue of constitutional reforms, Brunetta has seen fit to bring down a heavy load on the table that was settled by the majority of newspapers as a joke, but instead, I think is very significant to what ideology is behind this government (and unfortunately a large part of the opposition). I'm talking about an amendment of the constitution and especially the part which states that Italy is a republic founded on work.
Minister, in fact, simply said that this article has no practical value and is therefore unnecessary and may well be changed.
What the press has not pointed properly, according to me, is why the founding fathers wanted to start our own paper so and I assure you that in this case has nothing to do the political division between left and right. Simply wanted to stress that the work is not and should not be considered a commodity like any other because there is work behind the word man, his toil, his family and his life. For this reason, putting this in a sentence, the constituents have given a value of the fundamental principle at work highlighting its importance.
Now, of course, it is unthinkable that Brunetta (plus university professor of economics) does not know these things, just not saying it openly but he's a liberal (although in the confusion of politics Italian professes himself a staunch socialist), and for the free and natural to consider the work and the man who produces it as nothing more than a variable to produce a profit, even more you will tend to consider the work a commodity (and even if not it is said, not even one of the most important) you can more easily devalue, deny delete at will of the capitalist.
Someone probably liquidate my, too long, as usual tirade speech by veteran communist pain in the ass (and deep down is true), but one thing that always seemed to me very strange is why in Italy there is almost no one (except root) ready to make calls things by their name and to fight for their ideas. Why are liberals in Italy must be called reformist socialists or worse and can not simply say "yes I will marry the liberal ideology and try to spread it?". Why do I need to hide behind beating about the bush? Fear of losing?
