e-LESSONS: STILL WATERS AND ROUGH SEAS
|
Stopping the Refounded Communists from being eliminated from Parliament while at the same time trying to impede victory by the Right, are two objectives that although more difficult than ever to achieve together, must not be abandoned. The whole global social and political framework seems to be on the move again and who will govern Italy and Europe takes on particular importance, as does the need for an alternative Left that is more heavy-weight.

ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF BUSH THE YOUNGER
|
Just a few months since his adventurous conquest of the White House, George Bush has made even clearer, the choice of his most important collaborators being an example, the policy lines he intends to follow.
Significance can be attached to the relaunching of the proposal for the "missile defence shield" in a version free from the restrictions that Clinton imposed upon himself. At a time when the USA is the only super-power, it has assigned itself the task of keeping a check on every region in the world according to necessity, intervening with the armed forces and then leaving local allies to maintain order once it is restored.
The first moves made on the international scene have been useful to this repositioning: the bombardment of Iraq, the rejection of the Kyoto agreement for the environment, and the slackening of the reins on Israeli premier Sharon. These are all acts that, together with other emblematic steps taken by the new administration, reveal something new in the strategic policies of Bush II compared with that of the presidency of his father and Reagan. European leaders risk finding themselves orphans of that "globalisation with a human face" in which they showed they believed along with Clinton.

FEDERALISM: THE REFORM TO BE REFORMED
|
A confused and dangerous federal order that is aimed to sustain the permanent conflict between various institutions. It endangers every citizen's equality of rights (health, job protection) and the structures that are the backbone of national unity (education, the tax system, electoral laws that are more or less on a majority basis and even foreign policy).

Discussion on Revelli's Book
HORRIBLE TWENTIETH CENTURY?
|
Communism and Nazism share a common source: the myth of homo faber that made the twentieth century the era of the militarisation of production, society and politics, right up to the nightmare of the Lagers. This is the theory that has provoked a bitter debate around Marco Revelli's book. Rossanda and Tortorella question the historic and theoretical foundations of the theory.

AGAINST THE POLITICS OF ANTI-POLITICS
|
The powers involved in globalisation are the targets of movements that, from Seattle to Porto Alegre, cross the planet. However, their actions are intermittent and their energy scattered. Convergence with organised social forces, such as trade unions, and collaboration between intellectuals and these new social actors would help them size up to their target.
