The girls and boys these days carry their protest in the squares of the country for a school that will help them create a future tell us that the hope of another Italy is possible. That can react to the right that takes away rights and privileges increase. That can respond to insult the South and bloody criminal who wants to silence the conscience freer. That you can give dignity to work, breaking the dominant logic that today's increasingly relegated to the profit and commodification. What we can say the freedom of women and live in a country where secularism is an inviolable principle. That you can work for a peaceful world. What is possible, in front of the offensive racist towards immigrants, respond - as Einstein did - that the only race we know is human. What is possible through a conversion counter ecological economy climate change, reducing the environmental and social impacts. What is possible, therefore, react to a miserable policy which, in front of the grave problem of global warming, tried to block the choice of Europe on behalf of a blind protection of narrow interests.
change this country is possible. A pact to practice this hope that now grows in intensity, to bring it into contact with a policy which also change herself to translate hope into reality today. And 'this is the primary task of what we call the left.
We live in a country and a time they need a renewed commitment and a new left, ecologist, solidarity and peace. The daily chronicle of events is now a merciless account of Italy and the crisis of neoliberal policies on a global scale. When the social and material condition of so many people rushed to remove the risk of any meaning to the word future when citizenship, cohabitation, recognition of the other values \u200b\u200bbecome increasingly marginal, and when women and men of this country see grow own loneliness in the face of institutions, the workplace - often precarious, sometimes absent - as in those of knowledge, and when this happens no social conscience can stand still and wait. We are facing a crisis that marks a real watershed. Adrenaline dogmas thought that only fueled the forms of capitalism over the past 20 years. This crisis makes it more than ever the need for the left if it is able to be the bearer of a genuine alternative to companies globally.
E 'policy that affects the job, here and now, to produce an idea, a concept of society, a new meaning to be given our words. It is the policy that has the task of saying that an alternative to the present state of things is necessary and possible. The right to adjust his heavy government action - everything is already clear in just a few months - on the basis of an agenda that has exasperated even exaltation market and the dismantling of our Constitution the Republican strongholds that underpin it. What will school and training, environment, health and welfare, income levels and quality of work, citizenship rights and self-determination of women and men in the Italy of tomorrow, that tomorrow is just around the corner, where the effects of this right now the government will be disruptive and hit straight to the heart of the living conditions, already so difficult for many women and men?
E 'comes from here that the urgency and space - real, real, possible, growing - a new left that will inspire hope and call to politics, working on a project knows how to mobilize the country and even those who are disappointed, distracted, distant. A waste that left the shelter of identity an end in itself, the flight from politics, the frantic search for signs of the past as new fetishes to shake to the present. A left and take the defeat in April as a moment of truth, not just weaknesses. And the underlying causes of that defeat want to start without retracing errors, assumptions, limitations. A look at Europe as a place that left fundamental approach and the construction of an alternative to this globalization. A left capable of work to show how the systematic devaluation is a crucial part of economic and social crisis which we live.
To do this, we think of a left that is finally able to mix the seeds of most signs and political cultures to make a different language, a different outlook on things this time and of this world. A policy of peace, not only as a repudiation of the war, even as construction of the everyday culture of nonviolence and cooperation as an alternative to the competition. A left civil rights, freedoms, equality and difference. A Left that is no longer the political class but a place of participation, research, shared responsibilities. Who can collect the civil activism, intellectual and political overcoming the traditional political parties natural enclosures. And to take charge of strict opposition, pledging to build a new, positive force field and ideas for the country. The defense of the national labor contract, and companies that want to abolish government to make it uneven and only the working men and women is our immediate priority, along with the affirmation of the value of universal public schools and universities and climate protection that requires a real ecological revolution in the way we produce and consume.
work immediately to a constituent phase of the Italian left also means breaking a condition of marginality - and even democratic politics - and avoid the drift bipartisanship By initiating a reform of the twentieth-century political practice.
The goal is to work on a new political entity of the Italian left through a process that must have concrete evidence of novelty, not the sum total of political classes but a democratic, participatory, inclusive. To operate immediately promote the political association "For the Left," a lightweight tool for all those interested to give voice, role and project to the Italian left, starting wide membership and plural.
From now forming committees in the territories promoters provisional, open to all who are interested in the constitutional process, with the task of participating in the production, Saturday, December 13, a national assembly. The starting point of a process to be submitted in January to a consultation paper around a mass of intent, a name, symbol, shared rules. We propose to go through a December 13 meeting of the calendar of events where we are engaged already in November, to build a national meeting on the school and campaigns on issues of labor and denial of rights, the environment and anti-nuclear and civil military and for the development of renewable energy.
We know that a path will not be easy or quick, which will take time, time that is the real place where you develop the research of other languages, the production of new political culture, the formation of new elites. A sinister force that is self - cultural, political, organizational - can not ignore this. But tomorrow's weather is already here and today is that we must begin to measure it. That's why we say that this meeting marks for us that we have taken part, the common will of the individual and collective assumption of responsibility. The responsibility to participate in a course that finally starts and you want to extend help in the various realities of the region, subjecting it occurs largely of developers working on the most sensitive issues affecting so many people and which Tie a political project of the Italian left, starting with peace, fairness and social work, from the secular rights and the environment.
We commit ourselves today in this way. A build in time that will be required. Starting now.
