editorial Ateneinrivolta

"Better late than never" might say. After months of protests by students, workers, women, the case has come to call a general strike by the CGIL.
is no doubt that the pressure from below has been instrumental in forcing the direction the largest Italian trade union to un'indizione nothing short of a duty. For months, the general strike was one of the main demands of the mobilizations that have crossed this country and at present a result - though small - appears to be achieved, precisely because it was obtained despite the resistance of the headquarters of the CGIL. But look closely at this to date is likely to be one of the classic Pyrrhic victory.

Not only because of the inadequacy of the arrangements for convening four hours that appear ridiculous in front of impassive strength of our opponents and compared to recent experience in France where several days were not enough to block the country's total. But above all
because this strike seems to avoid any possibility of generalization. Let us note, the question of timing of the meeting is not a technical problem of agenda. There is simply no time to fill a distance, but a political distance.

This strike is not the slightest evidence to weave a pattern consistent with ongoing conflicts, indeed seems to deliberately look away from the extraordinary uprising of December 14 as the working-class resistance to Mirafiori. It does not see even the wave of indignation - in some variant highly questionable - dell'antiberlusconismo executioner. Focuses on himself, forcing everyone to follow him and put buffers to its weakness. Therefore, though they are still necessary, it seems entirely inadequate. And we wonder how we can extend it to produce a far from obvious, not just a debate almost entirely within the CGIL - we willingly leave to those directly involved - and without giving way to an easy optimism of the will, which too often We blanched. In fact, many remember when we forced the same CGIL general strike during the Wave movement in 2008, without significant results despite the thrust of the student movement still strong.

Generalizing the strike is now a common priority and potential damage new, we are the first to believe it. But we must dare, dare really, the earth seems to ignore the CGIL.

With our appeal last week's we tried to put the urgency of the uprising, before the misery of Italian politics and the extraordinary experience of North Africa. An insurgency can only give the multiplicity of subjects in recent months have put a resistance to the policies of the crisis, the attack of the profits on the job, constant erosion of the public to the private sector. A plurality today due to the strict scope of the strike CGIL, made up of temporary workers, migrants, students, committees in defense of water and territory. A plurality that requires more.

No abstract evocation, not myth-making of twentieth-century North African riots. But there seems a clear need for a new collective narrative, a new social role that reasons from the beginning on how to reopen a public space, which may occur through its constituent steps. The main lesson of North Africa is not so much, even essential, the ability to do it, but the pressing need for self-organization by social actors, directed the invasion as the only way to win again. Just starting a process like this also strike CGIL will be generalizable and will take on new characteristics with respect to the tired ritual to which we have used the past ones.

national assembly of the Socialist opposition in March it will be useful if a large, plural, participatory and to the extent that these crucial points melt, and if look to the coming months with a view of the whole and not only in view of general strike of the CGIL, if he can imagine a trajectory that could be the common heritage and not just a partial set of dates to cross.

still think that the calendar this spring lack of a national rally of the opposition Social that may be functional to exactly what has been said so far and it seems important to verify in the next period for the possibility of a common path to that effect. We do not claim - nor the inclination - to establish as early as today that it will be possible or not. also because, on the true realists, never stop to demand the impossible.

Neither general nor widespread. A modest political strike

A reflection of the Migrant Coordination of Bologna as a contribution to the debate about the strike precarious

For months evoked request imagined, the end came the date of the general strike of the CGIL. It is not known whether it will really show the social occasion in which all its power of political pressure. Or if the four-hour absence from work for the rights and against government policy will be a container in which everyone can imagine your opponent to say then I hit him hard. We'll see. We only observe that the strike may not be as unthinkable as the only abstention from work on the event and final meeting, perhaps you need to take a step forward.
Meanwhile, amid a thousand difficulties, and with a far lower participation than the previous year, last March 1 took place on the second day without immigrants "24h without us." You could easily make fun by saying that the day is actually successful, because few immigrants have participated and many may not know it even existed. In this climate of visibility difficult for migrants there are those who chose to return to practice striking and symbolic that the nell'assalto Cie, while shouting to the righteous anger in an intolerable situation, but may be in the form of inverted model emergency situation which are constantly faced with the movements of migrants. As we do not think that job insecurity is a given quota of this organization of work, which can be answered with any legal or contractual adjustment, so we do not think that movements of migrants is an exceptional event to govern or to be incurred as episodic and exemplary.
Because we think the presence of migrants is a structural and suppressed in our society, we have chosen another road. With no less anger we have chosen to organize as last year with the strike and migrants. We did it where possible through the active Fiom delegates, speaking Italian and migrant workers in factories and cooperatives, meeting and communicate the precarious and migrant. The strike which was released in Bologna saw greater participation than last year for the factories involved and the number of workers who took part. A modest political strike that did not defend nor requested a contract, but has opposed both Italian and immigrants with a special condition which ultimately involve everyone. A strike that has identified his opponent in both the business and the economy of the Bossi-Fini build their profits, but in laws and administrative rules that allow this particular regime of accumulation of profits.
We argue that the migrants in their singularities show universal character of the daily condition precarious for both the regular irregularity of their working conditions, and for the dissolution of the substantive content of citizens living on their skin. This means that any reflection on the new welfare system should not only avoid the connection to the salary as a criterion of citizenship, but also face the problem of implicit social hierarchies which may determine access to social benefits. Welfare may not be the only compensation for the missing wages, but also raising the question of what relationship between the figures down any welfare work, as, for example, on the ground of the current welfare system, already widely the monetary, the sexual division of labor exploitation and isolation renews and strengthens women migrants. For these reasons and others against those who, whenever we speak of migrant labor strike, says that this is an ethnic strike, there is now but a nuisance. The strike of migrant labor was not, nor can it be, only the strike of migrants, but has gone through a lot of work involved and, temporary or not. At the same time can not only be a national strike, because the migrant work lays bare the transnational dimension of the exploitation of precarious work. It is perhaps no coincidence then that this year, in Vienna there was an strike of migrant labor, so it should not surprise that Bologna has recorded the massive presence of students and women who acted independently, but also a continuation of the strike itself.
Opposition to migrant status puts it in play so the possibility of access to education as the struggle against patriarchy. The fight against a state composed of not easy to bear a general summary. Migrant Students no longer tolerate the label of the second generation, following the wise idea of \u200b\u200bnot wanting to be second to none. They do not want to sit together with their comrades of technical and vocational schools in the waiting room citizenship in the patient waiting for a precarious and underpaid. Italian women and migrants are well aware that patriarchy is not a relic of the past, much less the exotic ports that come from distant lands, but a practical way to organize and present relationships between men and women and, not least reproductive work, paid or not. A condition that is necessarily opposed to the models of transmission of knowledge and logic to be more intimate division of productive and reproductive work can not be a universal condition. One strike against this condition can only be a political strike, not all the players back together in a single figure, but also makes them talk and act together against opponents recognized as common.
This year we have propagated the slogan of the strike under the slogan: We did it and do it again ... Even in the debate and the practice of the strike precarious brings the experience of what we did, without pretending to give a more generalized model, but pointing out a method that can help to strike the precarious something new at least politically if not original.

POETS OF RISORGIMENTO

Within the series of monthly meetings of poetry

"Poets of when we went to school" by prof. SERGIO JOSEPH BENZO Giuliani and actor.

We have placed among the "minor" and we hastily confused "patriotic" with "patriotic". We run the risk of throwing away baby and bathwater. But the aspirations to freedom, the civilization of the renaissance poets, often in an Italy under masters, have been highly important in the spirit of the people involved.

Ben is the memory of the Risorgimento; well come back with a thoughtful reading of the young Leopardi, Manzoni and the choirs of Odes civilians, Berchet, the Righteous "Sant'Ambrogio" and why not? Diaries partisans of Tenders and ABB.

Maybe we will do a little 'Tenderness and resent them with a sufficient degree. But we need, now, their civil convictions.
