After a series of indefensible choices and due to the worsening economic crisis and international conflict, Berlusconi is in trouble.

BUSH: NEW DOCTRINE, NEW ARMS  
While the threat of new conflict is brewing in the Middle East, it is important to clarify to what extent the change in American policy is not just down to circumstance. A new geo-political doctrine lies at its roots which implies a new long-term military strategy and a rearmament which is already underway. Two renowned American analysts explain the issue.

Mario Tronti
THE EUROPEAN LEFT BETWEEN PASSION AND REALISM  
According to Tronti, an actus tragicus can be found at the heart of the European Left’s surrendering to the god of capitalism, the passage from the old USSR to the new Russia, which led to the triumph of universal privatisation as the adopted policy. Going against the tide of passive realism, all that remains is to hook up the desire for a new policy to the role of the worker, a figure which embodies the contradictions of the modern individual.
