Left and right are concepts that are asserted with parliamentary democracy as the best locations, or "seats" ... Over the centuries, efforts are made to fill the chairs of meaning: the quota (on a specific choice) philosophical, social or sociological , international, even anthropological ...
With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the bipolar world, the community "intellectual" (those who read, write and then re-read) considered more or less correctly that the categories hitherto taken for granted no longer had the role, raison d'etre, legality or usefulness ... The problem is that this elite of thinkers and writers is almost nothing for the vast majority of Europeans and Westerners - if the law - something that has already digested the law ten times, trivialized, popularized and generally stale. Thus, the analysis of political scientists and political scientists are right in theory but - as often happens - the reality (which is the thing that remains the same regardless of our desires) do not take any notes and goes on his way by ignoring them.
Fukuyama After all become liberals ... With Wojtyla, at some point, all Catholics are rediscovering ... With Huntington being rediscovered all patriotic ... and trying to break up each of these groups in their box. The attempt to define new categories or clivadges remained pure as sterile academic exercise.
in the Vulgate, "right" and "left" continue to survive and make the masters nell'irreversibile simplification of political news.
The problem arises at this point: survive the boxes and boxes are so huge, cumbersome and opaque almost all the people he sees only the outside. It starts then to give new content in bulk containers, each improvising in his own way. Politicians seek to actualize long-running traditions, the new ones and rampant screaming their platitudes to appropriate stories and coats that do not belong to him. Intellectual ambitions that have changed or patrons - or simply have reached a vein or have had a fight with old friends - redefining the categories scaled sartorially around themselves. Occur as "attacks", "commingling", "transformation," "treason," "contamination" and that several other quotation marks - incialtronite promptly by newspapers (who does his job to distribute to the players in the world and then trivialize pills , blend and crush everything into a pimp tasteless spices and season with strong flavors to pretend to know something) - even more confused ideas and roles, characters and stories.
one that is committed to preserving the boxes are left-handed as bobbiani Marco Revelli (which is almost obsessed with the task of preserving the meanings of right and left). The left is obviously the best equipped to handle the war of meanings: it is overwhelming in the academic, media, journalism, publishing and even in advertising, arts and entertainment ... So is holding the blackboard and chalk to make continuous the list of good and bad. And they are always good ...
But the game has stopped working since, surely, is the next entry in crisis because no building facade and container without content. Veltroni gave the coup de grace, but it was all his fault. The logic of creating a reality that it contained everything that was engaging and positive relationship with the label "left", as an alternative to everything that was odious and reprehensible - even within each of us, so as to throw him out and exorcise - labeled as "right", could not work forever.
It worked until the next win - more than being right because people like to be a winner - but first defeat began to crumble. Of course, survives the apparatus, the cliques, controls and controllers, but the identification was and the automatic consent has been finally passed.
In accordance with the laws of physics and politics - which, both, know no empty spaces - the loss of attractiveness of the category "Left" has given progressively more attractive to the label "right". But like after a tsunami that had swept away all that was considered secularly subverting the meanings of right, the tide has brought to shore intact and very few objects, mostly in the scrap metal and debris.
Like in the movies about shipwrecks, soon appeared on the shore natives with plumed hats, jackets and decorated Sciabolone - or even graceful ball gowns - found in some chest beach.
Like after every natural disaster or social self-respecting, having been all stirred, you are the leader, who is a waiter and a sharecropper who became a landowner and does Leopard. Whether this is good or bad each judge for themselves.
Mao said that if there was "great confusion under heaven" the situation was "excellent." But he was a great leader who wanted to wipe out a subversive millennial empire. To us, the confusion has always given a little discomfort.
Perhaps the right is simply not there anymore. Perhaps there never was. Maybe it's better that way. You can forget the sound, without much regret, if only we were able to give another name to what we are - above all and more - in what they tend to be what we would like.
In the meantime everyone says "right" or - as if to shame - "center", but perhaps they mean different things. Someone says "dude is not right," but then admits "I have never been." Other reinterpret, redefine and rewrite. Someone else, simply do not care, riding the momentum achieved and, if anything, when you say the right will be completely out of fashion, will be defined in any other way, may agree at that time. Hard to believe, but there's people like that ... Especially in politics.
