Chiamparino and narrative " Three members of the Social-Democratic Party

the nice review (R. Viale, Reformism want a leader, The Sole 24 Ore, October 3, 2010) of the book, Challenge, Sergio Chiamparino, it calls the "narrative" (very overused word) the mayor of Turin, a book "Social Democrat."

There is a passage from the review of the lane which deserves to be widespread, in which he writes: The situation since then (referring to the nineties) has become increasingly complicated, particularly in Italy, where the the left was not represented by a real social democratic party like the rest of Europe, but from an unstable hybrid multiforme, heritage and traditions in some cases incompatible as the Communist and Christian Democrat, with pieces of the socialist and secular . The inadequacy traditional recipes along with the lack of a coherent identity that has its roots in the past, as with social democratic parties of Europe, explains the confusion of the Pd .

There is not a particular child of the book that has not escaped Chiamparino Avenue: If the "recipe socio-economic," writes Avenue, is not dissimilar from those of "successful social democracies of northern Europe," missing the party can achieve it.

This is no small matter. But Mitterrand able to give voice to a culture of genuine social democratic party in Italy is not yet appeared on the horizon. The heirs of the Communist Party, today in the Democratic Party does not intend to start down the road of European Socialists, and not just be glimpsed only timid steps, there are those who like Veltroni spoke on condition possible developments.

In a society like ours - Foucault would say - you are very familiar with the procedures of exclusion. This is what happened against the socialist political culture and its representatives in Italy. Since the early nineties has done everything to remove the word socialist from the political vocabulary in our country and above all we have tried in every way to associate the idea of \u200b\u200ba negative value. Could it be that we are at the end of this absurd cycle that has produced countless damage to our country. Glimpsed some symptoms, but it is too early to say that there are second thoughts. Meanwhile, some courageous continue to hope.
