We focus on our finger and we don’t see the moon. Monti is the finger and the moon is the Third Republic. The world that is to come does not belong to Napolitano, to Letta or to Monti because of age and thinking. The new generations will reconstruct the country or they will destroy it definitively. The current political class is a pure optical effect, like when the light of a lamp stays for a long time in the pupil of your eye. We have to take off our glasses and look at reality with new eyes. An Italy that no longer has its old reference points will give rise to uncertainties, feelings of disorientation, fear, but also great opportunities for change. In recent years, we as a people, have been living not, as is commonly said, above our possibilities, but below our possibilities. We are so used to degradation that we take it as read, as ineluctable. If we don’t believe in ourselves why should others believe in us? One of the most seriously damaging effects of the short twenty year berlusconian period has been the expulsion of the capable and honest ones from the institutions, from the big companies, from the media, from the banks, from any sector that could disturb the “manovratori” {manoeuvrers}. What’s needed is a disinfestation at every level of those who colluded, of the incapable ones, of the dead hand of the parties. From the town halls to the parliament. Now is the time of those who clean up. There’s a dark sensation of "Every man for himself!" with a race for bricks and mortar where you can hide your savings and the uncertainties of the future. Instead we should bless this crisis. Without it, nothing would have changed. From the false necklaces and sparkling jewels that have kept us company in recent years, nothing could have been born; from the default a flower can be brought forth.
The collapse of the euro is a blessing; it will destroy the party-ocracy. The leaders are a mountain of shit; the parties are dead. To understand that, the Italians need a shock and it’s coming. We are entering a new world that, if we want, we can reconstruct from the foundations, as has happened at other moments in history. We are used to "In order to reach dawn there's no other way than night" (*) and the night is about to end. What the new day will be like, just depends on us. No one can count themselves out or say “Anyway nothing changes in this country”. This is the mentality of servants. You start! Each one counts for one, but those who don’t participate, count for nothing. The “Programma del M5S” {programme of the M5S} is the son of the future. They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we.
