Notes for a programmatic political platform of the Socialist Party The world today is crossed by deep tensions and contradictory impulses, that originate from the contrast between the aspiration of peoples to improve their social and economic conditions and the growing inequality between nations and within them.
The process of internationalization of economies, generalized and non-governmental, or better governed by the interests and institutions, contributes to a growing concentration of wealth in few hands and the simultaneous impoverishment of the middle class and popular, thanks to a faster rising cost of living compared to the dynamics of compensation of employees, professional and from self-employment. This is evident also from an analysis of developments in the rough and superficial developed economies, on the other hand, the rise, often impetuous, a part of the developing countries is in the sign of the extraordinary enrichment of minority groups and the relative stagnation in the misery of the majority of the population, subject to arrangements for exploitation, often involving the kids, even heavier than it did in years gone.
This situation stems from the inability of the social and political forces of the economically developed countries to cope with the harsh reaction of contemporary capitalism redistributive policies implemented by states and propitiated by the great social struggles in the seventies and eighties. The more equal distribution wealth and the extension of social services accessible in those years have been absorbed by the advances regarding the economic development process that occurred in the last two decades, so that a growing majority of the population sees continuously reduced its standard of living and a not inconsiderable part of it knows economic difficulties, which were considered by many a painful and unforgettable memory of times now remote.
Such state of affairs is most evident in Europe than in other parts of the world economically developed and the social crisis is particularly acute in the European countries, like Italy, have not adequately protected from the effects of the globalization process of ' economy surface and have ridden with ruthlessness and without the adoption of the necessary precautions policies of liberalization and privatization, especially in the field of community services of general use.
The crisis of the national states of Europe
The history of human civilization shows a series of processes of territorial extent of states, with the formation of continental dimensions reaching powers and phases of disruption that sometimes produce extreme fragmentation of decision-making centers and command. From the time of the Greek polis to the empire of Alexander the Great, the Hellenistic to the Roman Empire were, by the extreme fragmentation of the feudal period and the economy manorial, the rise of Commons, Lords of the Renaissance and the formation of modern nation states. The people who have not been able to adapt to changes in their contemporary world and to participate fully in the system of international relations during the process of concentration of power and territorial extent of states, have generally fallen under the domination of others. Such has been the vicissitudes of Italy from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, the fate will be similar if not the European peoples will quickly complete the building of a federal Europe with a single decision-making in foreign policy, economic and military and the coordination of justice, training and research.
the world scene today is dominated by the superpower United States, China, India and Russia are preparing to become strong contraltari of American hegemony, while Europe and Africa and Latin even more central - southern struggle to create unit processes that could generate were able to provide authoritative and international protection of their essential interests. This scenario requires that the peoples of Europe to become aware of the exhaustion of the role and function of national states and promote the establishment of strong and cohesive federal entity.
The awareness that the internationalization of the economy and the appearance on the stage of history of major continental powers generated powers far stronger than those of national states in Europe and that the loss of the role of the latter will result in disqualification under the most varied profiles, moral, cultural and political, to put up into question the unity and the democratic institutions, has gained ground among historians and social scientists. Important, among others, studies on these issues by Eric Hobsbawm. The fact that in Europe the refined and advanced European social model should be replacing the most rough and approximate the American model says a lot about it.
The Italian crisis has
The Itralia one of the European countries that have not been able to defend themselves from the crisis that hit Europe in the nineties and which has not been recovered so far.
The fall of the Berlin Wall did lose to the Communist leadership value system from which derived its processing power and political action, leaving much of the left in the throes of a total lack of ethical and easy reference points prey to the seductions of the American model (for many years suggested by persistently Veltroni) with a clear retreat from the European social model, the more evolved, sophisticated and ethically sustainable than the first.
The annihilation of the Christian Democrats and Socialists has deprived the country of ruling class that had favored the development after the war until the eighties. The collapse of the center-left parties, was caused by the spread of corruption, but also by a late and ill-managed intervention of the judiciary, more concerned, obviously, the fall of the power system in place to stamp out corruption. The latter has even increased, becoming more sophisticated and pervasive forms and is one of the main causes of the difficulties that hinder the country's economic recovery.
The collapse of the value system of both the majority and opposition parties has generated a profound crisis of the capacity of government at all levels of civic life, if we exclude the experiences of governments relied on short-term presidents of the board of particular value in the previous phases formed policies, as Amato and Ciampi, who were able to avoid the collapse of the Italian economy and safeguard the anchor institutions and the economy European and a very limited number of regional and local governments that have maintained a high profile of the administration. In general, then, from '92 onwards, Italy was ruled by parliamentary majorities and executives all learn to meet the needs of governance in a country with modern, complex and evolved, but hit by a crisis of values \u200b\u200band perspectives without before the war.
The social crisis that hit the Italian company has extensive and deeper causes of the crisis of political representation: it is a crisis of values \u200b\u200bthat has involved the building of social structures such as family and school. The family has often given up its educational role, leaving young people insecure, left to themselves, attracted by the frivolous and superficial patterns and prey to a widespread rebellion, the result of the lack of a high social values, ideals which identify himself, prospects of individual worthy of being sued. The school has seen severely reduced its training capacity, it is no longer able to motivate the youth to a commitment to rigorous training cultural and professional: young people reject the necessary sacrifices and selective criteria necessary to generate new classes of high level executives and are often backed in this by the families that have lost the ability to assess to what should be their own role and that the school.
The attitude of the young stems largely from the lack of prospects - know that they are intended for modest salaries to be inadequate to meet the needs of a decent life, forms of precarious and poorly paid even in what should be the most popular professions such as teaching and research, pushes the best migration: the country will thus be deprived of important cultural and professional resources and benefits from the ingenuity of many of its researchers
- to note the inability to realize the dreams of youth a family, to have and raise children, advance in employment status , results in a life time of a serious identity crisis and the abandonment of values \u200b\u200bin which it was hitherto believed.
Many young people, so find distraction in the din of dancing, when the tragic temptations of alcohol and drugs. There seems no doubt that the mitigation of the social crisis and finally the solution lies primarily in its ability to offer stable employment and better paid jobs for young people and knowing how to reward merit and commitment.
The crisis of Italian society is too long for not having had a profound effect on all levels of society starting with the ruling class: that there is scope, carefully examined, show no signs of a worrying decline: the political class the public bureaucracy, the management by the entrepreneur, the professional classes to those dedicated to teaching and operation of justice, no area of \u200b\u200bsociety escapes the consequences of a general loss of reference points and ethical convictions about the rights and the duties of individuals and social groups. Call everyone to a startled sense of responsibility is a primary task of a renewed political representation should be capable of bringing about the rebirth of our country.
The new political movements which emerged from the crisis of the first republic
After the collapse of the parties that have performed the duties of representation and government by the end of World War II to 1992, new movements have occupied the limelight of politics.
Lacking solid traditions and international references, the moderate parties have made the newly formed bones about their indifference and rudimentary but effective weapons, contributing considerably to lower the level of political confrontation and the quality of government. The dreary debate over taxes, posed in terms of banal self-interest of the social groups most fortunate part towards the suffering of society instead, and there was good reason, as critical to the level of the deficit ratio of sampling and quality and quantity of services rendered and works, not surprisingly, produced a significant reduction in fiscal pressure during the administrations of the Berlusconi government. The demagogic promises made in election campaigns have almost nothing to influence the action of right-wing government, whose budget works in profits and sustainable progress of the country was almost nil. Forza Italy has been characterized as a movement totally dependent on its founder without its internal dialogue in democratic life and his work has corroborated the idea that political democracy is simply to periodically call the people to the polls and not in force for the development and growth resulting from a comparison of different options before all the political forces within and between these and between them and in comparison with the many cultural, associative and representative make lively and vigorous democratic growth. The moderate party was stronger then a slight movement from the cultural and asphyxiated the democratic below, thus contributing to the prolongation and deepening of social crisis which depresses the country. Not much unlike the other parties have acted right and moderates. More like political parties in Latin America after the war that the great, dignified and appreciated conservative formations mittel European and north, the right-wing parties were based on an exasperated leader, rather than enhance the role and evolved into a modern democracy should have the premises collegial decision-making, both parties in the institutions. This degeneration has led them to their transfer to that with a happy expression has been called the "cult of personality" also at the endorsement of a constitutional reform that ridiculed the roles of Parliament and the President of the Republic, emphasizing instead that the Head of Government, put in a position to effectively evade parliamentary control and unilaterally determine the actual length of the legislatures. Happily for the country's conventional wisdom has made a clean sweep of that unfortunate affront to our very current, high-Constitution.
Since '92 the area, so to say, progress has been offset by a formation of communist hegemony, as he said Nenni, have not been able to come to terms with history. Private system of values \u200b\u200bin which they believed, or pretended to believe, unable to recognize their mistakes and their limitations, have led to political parties lack the ideal drive to mobilize large sectors of society and lead to important developments reformers, or took refuge in a sterile extremism, repeating the feats of the ceiling socialist past.
The extremist groups, and the PRC Communist Communist Party of Italy, have not been able to grasp the teaching experiences that have marked the entire twentieth century and which can be summarized in the statement that the outcome of the contest will be played on social skills of the two sides in the competition, both in terms of policy than on economic interests, to create an alliance with the middle class, promoting the interests of the working classes and forms in a manner compatible with the interests of middle classes themselves. This operation is facilitated by the fact that contemporary capitalism produces, through its forms of concentration of wealth that are to the detriment of all other parts of society.
diaspora groups more moderate Communist, a misplaced pride and sloth have been unable or unwilling to conduct a critical analysis of the historical experience of communism and social democracy, which would take them to verify the correctness of the latter and to enter without equivocation and hesitation in the Reformed tradition, but preferred to create formations of unknown identity, ideals and devoid of content, as they themselves used to say, the driving force. A disappointing affair that could not have ended worse than the constitution of the Democratic Party, a movement confused, composite and contradictory, where the various components cancel one another, allowing only selected low-profile real estate substantially. The splits, both in terms of defense of the secular state (accentuated by the recent electoral agreement with the radicals), both in terms of economic policy, foretell a troubled run as the recent alliance of center-left.
the governments of the right have alternated over the past decade the governments of Central sinisttra, that if they can boast of the merits on the containment of the deficit and public debt and anchor Italy to the European system, have embraced the liberal view of the right, giving rise hastily and with criteria of selling out to the privatization of basic public services, with substantial damage to the national interest and the general consumer. The proximity of the beneficiaries of these policy areas of privatization with DS and Margherita are probably the most correct reading of the key reasons for the conditions of great favor with which they were acquired by large private energy companies and communications. While relying on increasing financial income Prodi governments have little or nothing done to improve the scientific and technological research, increase the training capacity of the school efficiency and productivity in the private sector, than in the public's specific responsibility of the Government. Italy has lost so much precious time, marking time or even falling behind in global competition.
The Socialist Party and the challenges of our time
Italy contemporary living in a more acute in other European countries the social and economic crisis that we have described, for the surrender of the political class against tough offensive in clerical respect for civil liberties and the acquiescence towards the interests of the dominant economic power.
The defense of the secular state means the availability of a comparison of the Socialists without harshness and respectful of the views of citizens belonging to different faiths, but firm in rejecting the claim that outside the Catholic religion should be required to conduct that have no justification except to comply with convictions and beliefs of Catholic citizens, or even the dictates of the hierarchy in areas in which it shows its rearmost position and the integral over the normal behavior of the more liberal Catholics, as in the case of separations and divorces, recognition of de facto unions of abortion and on freedom of scientific research.
Aggression developed by the indiscriminate economic power against the social gains which culminated with the construction of the modern welfare state, requires the strongest opposition to Socialists instances, under the catchy name of liberalization, privatization and flexibility they want to deprive citizens of any consumer protection in prices and tariffs to protect workers and citizens on the adjustment of salaries and job stability. Social inequalities that exist today in our society are unjustifiably large, as is the disparity of wages between the activities most humble and the most qualified. It 'true that competition from countries where the cost of labor is incomparably lower than in our poses serious problems of competitiveness of our businesses, but this scenario does not justify the complete absence of protective measures of national and European authorities in respect of products coming from countries where they work, even the child does not enjoy any protection and security. E 'right to work for a growing collaboration between the countries and peoples and progressive reduction of protectionist barriers, but we must avoid too rapid and uncontrolled mode of this development as one of the ways to support the ongoing process of concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and well-being or stress reduction of poverty among the middle classes and the popular ones.
We know that increased mutability of market conditions may create the need for labor relations in the limited time, but in these cases, social security contributions paid by companies must be, to some extent, greatly increased and not reduced, so that these companies make use of atypical contracts only if clearly needed. It will thus at least partially cover the real risk that future pensions are much smaller than today compared to the wages of active workers. The Socialists are fighting hard to reform the laws that have introduced forms of precarious work that not only restrict the pay and prospects deny large part of young workers, among the main causes of social problems and the degeneration of morals in place in our society. And 'the rest under the pcchi of all that the very nature of precarious forms of employment permitted by applicable law, in a distraction with the supervisory authorities with respect to systematic violations that public and private institutions make such rules already too permissive, bring many more young people at the mercy of unscrupulous employers, undermining the dignity and personal freedoms.
Historical experience has shown that a well-regulated market and ensure competition the provision of goods and services at the best price / quality, but what happens when a good or service there are many new features and if they can always add to the existing ones. As regards the services for which it is not feasible in theory or in fact the variety of offerings, there are no acceptable alternatives to public management, on pain of revocation of the facilities and services and unjustified increases in prices, the experiences Comrie domestic and international. Should be greeted favorably of sales of goods and services improperly handled by the public system because commonly available on the market, but should be considered in all its negativity the transfer to private utilities need to be exercised as a monopoly, such as transport networks, systems on the water cycle and waste, local businesses that integrate waste management with energy production and heat and, for reasons of national policy concerning the supply, large companies that manage the supply of energy.
modern welfare state
The Italian Socialists affirm their determination to defend the achievements of the great fights of the twentieth century in Europe and Italy, which have contributed to the socialist movement over the most modern and advanced sectors of the liberal movement and the social Christian. In particular, development in our continent of the modern welfare state, which was the highest point reached in the history of human civilizations. Protection of personal freedom, national health service, decent pensions, equality of rights between men and women, protection of motherhood and childhood, abandonment of colonialism, foreign policy of peace and dialogue with all cultures and civilizations have been the port for a period of major civil, economic development and peaceful coexistence.
Aggression concentric with the politics of the great European social democracy and labor parties led by the Communists and left- formations from the conservative right has led the workers' unions for governments to exceed the frequency and intensity of social concessions, leading to situations is critical to the competitiveness of European economies and the stability of public budgets. The task of European Socialists is the staunch defense of the achievements and the resumption of the journey towards a more just and balanced according to the method of gradual reform, which consists in a gradual but with studied to make permanent the goals achieved. A renewed phase of development will cherish the environmental compatibility of measures to support growth, in order to allay concerns a progressive ecological collapse of the planet.
modern welfare state requires a model of balanced economic development, which face more hinges on distributive justice and the gradual growth and stability than on its intensity and competition. It 'is quite clear that such a development model, which serves as an alternative to the U.S., far more rudimentary and all voted to competitiveness, reflecting very high social costs, can be sustained only at the continental level and requires a higher degree of integration of international politics, economics, education and research, the achievements so far. The defense and the development of the state modern social assume, therefore, a decisive action for the further integration of the continent, or those between European countries who are aware of the inevitability, on pain of a serious decline, with their full unification.
Foreign Policy
The Italian Socialists affirm their loyalty to the Western alliance and the international treaties signed by our country and reiterated that the two main pillars of Italian foreign policy should consist in solidarity with our European partners in all junctures of the story in the international and inescapable centrality of the UN decisions for the settlement of international disputes. The Socialist Party has confirmed its full support and loyalty to what is prescribed by the Constitution when it states that "Italy repudiates war as an instrument for settling international disputes." In this spirit of Italy should maintain friendly relations and seek collaboration in the cultural, economic and policy with all countries that share the purposes of international coexistence and safeguard the fundamental rights of freedom of their people.
Culture, education and research
Frequent new scientific discoveries and rapid technological change make it essential to the largest and most effective dissemination of culture and therefore an enhanced the public school system. This requires significantly improve the selection and preparation systems, as well as the remuneration of teachers. The strengthening of innovation and research, which constitute one of the serious deficit of the Italian situation, it is also essential to boost the competitiveness of the Italian system compared to those of other countries. But what is of decisive importance to our country will face the conviction that the complexities of contemporary changes in production systems does not allow the transmission of knowledge dated to the years of teacher training, or that the school will rest only on the appropriations the public budget, but calls for a systematic integration of production, research and training, taking advantage of the synergies that such integration may allow. Do not look like a weird concept. This situation is realized in various ways in the economically advanced and examples of this kind, with positive results, were also present in Italy before the wave of demagoguery at post sessantottino swept them away. It is a goal difficult to achieve with complex procedures and tests that can be pursued with limited initially, but vigorously pursued and properly supported.
The party life
A large and influential socialist party does not arise on the basis of petitions of principle or for choices perspique of its management team, but if he can coagulate around him a growing number of members, militants and activists. This involves regular and practical involvement of the base of the party in the choices, to be derived from a deeper and wider debate preceding decisions, unlike what has happened so far. The over-personalization of politics, the lack of prior consultation of the governing bodies at all levels, the unusual invitation to the sectional meetings and the lack of a permanent sections are obstacles to the growth of the Party and undermine its claim.
Labour movements and democratic socialist who live together, starting with shared values \u200b\u200band principles, have a range of opinions varied considerably larger: this is the condition of their size and social and political relevance. Our Socialist Party takes up only part of what was once the social settlement of the PSI. E 'task group leaders create the conditions in terms of breadth of the political platform of accessibility and compliance with those prevailing divergent positions, opportunities and expression of congressional representation in the governing bodies of minority views. Without a conscious initiative and perseverance in the direction it goes without saying that the Socialist Party continue to be a training quantitatively very small and poorly politically and socially relevant.
