italian politics because why not?

hi fellas! in the "honor" of Silvio Berlusconi's death i will make a not so short explanation of who he was, crimes included ofc (so if you're italian you probably won't need to read this post)

Silvio Berlusconi was a italian politician and an enterpreteur and he has been Prime Minister for four times. he founded important companies such as mediaset and fininvest and he's also the leader of the centre-right party "Forza Italia" his assets amount to more than 3.6 billion euros.

but who is Silvio Berlusconi really?

a horrible person it's the only correct answer, so let's have a quick look about what he did, starting from his controversial affirmations.

"Putin didn't want war, he was prompted to invade Ukraine" is what he said during a meeting of Forza Italia

in september 2021, after the drug trafficking scandal which involved Luca Morisi, the former head of communication of Matteo Salvini, another Italian politician, Berlusconi announced "after all, what did Morisi do? he had the only defect of being gay". in the same year, Berlusconi was involved in the prostitution scandal and he tried to cut the story short by saying "sometimes i happen to look at pretty girls, it's better to be a fan of pretty girls than to be gay"

in 2003 Berlusconi argued that "Mussolini never killed anyone, he sent people to vacations in the confinement"

in 2009, while Rosy Bindi, the deputy speaker of the house for the democratic party was being interviewed, Berlusconi described her as "always more beautiful than intelligent"

i could go on for hours, but let's have a look about his judicial processes. from 1980 to 2023 there have been about 32 processes for a big variety of stuff such as

tax fraud, false accounting, misappropriation, money laundering

illicit party financing

corruption, alleged corruption of the lawyer david mills to convince him to bear false witness in a process, judicial corruption, instigation to corruption

child prostitution

aggravated concussion

drug traffick

abuse in the use of state flights, abuse of office

deffamation of public figures

agreements with the mafia

of course, al of this processes have been absolved for prescription (extinction of the crime) amnesty (waiver by the state to prosecute a crime) or decriminalization (transformation of a criminal tort into an administrative or civil tort) and this is a literal violation of the italian constitution, indeed, the first article says that all citizens are equal before the law, but apparently when it comes to powerful and rich people like Berlusconi, the rule doesn't apply, pretty funny huh? welcome to italy.

this is all, goodbye fellas★

hi fellas! this is the first post of my blog, and since i'm a nerd who likes politics this is a not so short explanation of my political orientation:

i'm an anarcho-communist, that sounds a bit like a contradiction, but let me explain. anarcho-communism is, of course, a current of anarchy, the principle is very simple: the establishment of an egalitarian society without any kind of state regulation combined with market abolition and the self-management planning of the economy, which means that workers aren't supervised by a boss, they determine their own goals and methods.

the main difference between anarchy and anarcho-communism is that while the first is based on the single individual, the second puts collective experience on top, which seems more right to me: "the union makes the strenght" it's a sentence i deeply believe in.

some people might think "so you're just a communist at this point huh?" but the answer is no i'm not, why? well, it's very simple: in a communist society everything is run by the state that distributes the resources to the people. in an anarcho-communist society, there isn't a state (otherwise it wouldn't be called ANARCHO-communism, the principle of anarchy is literally no state at all).

another thing that i think it's really important to say is that anarcho-communism also means the abolition of social classes. so, you know that "social pyramid" that you surely have seen on your primary school history book when you studied ancient egypt? that one drawing of a big triangle with the pharao on top and the slaves at the bottom? now take that pyramid and make it fucking flat; no more proletariat or aristocracy, just a lot of people on a horizontal line, working toghether and helping each other.

this leads us to another important principle: the abolition of private property and wage work, this means that every individual would be free to contribute to the production of goods and services and satisfy their needs based on their free decisions.

the most informed will notice that this type of society is really similar to the anarcho-collectivist society, and they're not wrong! but there still are some differences: anarcho-collectivism proposes the collective property in the hands of an association with the individual profit of its members while anarcho-communism denies completely the concept of individual profit.

i'm done for this post, goodbye fellas★
