Ditemi voi se non sembrano scritte parlando dell'Italia:
"Enough! We cannot live like this any longer. Everything must be done in a new way. We must reconsider our concepts, our approaches, our views of the past and our future.… There has come an understanding that it is simply impossible to live as we lived before -- intolerably, humiliatingly."
"Everything is rotten. It has to be changed."
Thomas theorem" -- "If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequence"
a moral resurrection was essential
"the people had to be "saved" -- not from external dangers but "most of all from themselves, from the consequences of those demoralizing processes that kill the noblest human qualities."
"Enough lies, enough servility, enough cowardice. Let's remember, finally, that we are all citizens. Proud citizens of a proud nation!"
Of course, the magnificent moral impulse, the search for truth and goodness, is only a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the successful remaking of a country. It may be enough to bring down the ancien regime, but not to overcome, in one fell swoop, a deep-seated authoritarian national political culture. The roots of the democratic institutions spawned by morally charged revolutions may prove too shallow to sustain a functioning democracy in a society with precious little tradition of grassroots self-organization and self-rule.
E invece no. Anche se si adattano perfettamente al nostro contesto, sono tratte da un articolo di Foreign Policy che racconta il tracollo dell'Unione Sovietica...
Eppure a me sembra che vadano alla perfezione per descrivere quello che stiamo vivendo nell'Italietta. Speriamo che i fatti non portino alle stesse conclusioni ma alla stesso impeto per rovesciare il delirio che oggi ci tocca subire.
