* These days I happened to pick up some pieces of those typical conversations that reveal the mood of the populace: it seems that many Italians are worried about the situation in Libya because it could come waves of desperate people seeking refuge in Italy. The individual-mass is not concerned about the Libyan tragedy in itself but the consequences that such events might have on his daily life. Of course, these layers are composed of common people as good Catholics, baptized and consistent, that love il prossimo loro, dunque anche l'eventuale immigrato libico, come sé stessi . E' noto che quanto più l'individuo-massa sente il peso della crisi economica tanto più è portato a vedere nell'immigrato, nel diverso, un potenziale nemico. E' sempre stato così.
Nello specifico, gli umori viscerali del popolo sono ben interpretati dal Ministro degli Esteri che ora paventa un esodo di proporzioni bibliche dopo essere stato per giorni molto prudente nel prendere le distanze dal Colonnello Libico con cui Italia e Italiani hanno sempre fatto buoni affari. Non ci si può inimicare un dittatore perchè, se poi ristabilisce l'ordine in casa, è con lui che bisogna continuare a fare affari. Se però the dictator is on the brink of the abyss then you can begin to criticize. The hypocrisy of politicians is a reflection of the hypocrisy of the people.
I noticed how often the Italian populace knows little or nothing of the crimes made decades ago by other good Italians in Libya.
other hand there are political ideals that people know all of those crimes and that, therefore, have always considered the Libyan Colonel a folk hero and anti-imperialist. See the next insipid interview with one of the founders of the Manifesto and demonstrates how the ideological infatuation can blind. Make an impression while reading those sentences in Libya is an ongoing massacre.
Among other things, for the purposes of the issues addressed in this blog, it is interesting to the Closing dell'ottantenne revolutionary proposal: "Italy should build the coastal highway between Tunisia and Egypt"!

Mr. Valentino course offers a 'highway that, if achieved, will be for decades traveled by vehicles powered by hydrocarbons, and that is because of that oil on which the perverse relationship of friendship between Italy and Libya. In fact, many have learned in these days that Italy imports from Libya about a quarter of their oil (26% in 2009) and that, despite Libya is now among the world's largest producers of crude , it has the largest reserves found in Africa.
Now it is' clear that ENI will continue to extract oil in Libya and Libyan leaders, old and new, will continue to base their power over the oil fields until exhaustion.
But what is worrying is how even the pseudo-revolutionaries or those unable to see beyond the tip of their nose and thinking patterns of development radically different alternative to those now dying based on fossil fuels. It 'just a matter of culture!
Moreover, the highway is always a functional element in tandem oil industry - automotive industry beam that forms the backbone of the global capitalist system. It is not understood as a revolutionary, anti-historical, then it can be champion of highways. Even if you want to take the views of the elderly ladies, the contradiction is so obvious to him ridiculous. These have always been friendly talkative intellettualini.
I would never think to bring along a highway that North African coast which is already highly populated and often raped by mass tourism. I would be spontaneous propose to (hopefully new) Arab ruling classes to build a bike path in the context of tourism development that enhances the smart small local economies of the Mediterranean coast, from Morocco to Egypt.
It 'obvious that neither I nor Mr. Valentine will have no say. I write these things just to define a concept of development (it was post-petroleum) and ways of life which, I believe, sooner or later have spread to Africa as it already has spread to parts of Europe.
Among the many who read these posts are already many agree with me, therefore, generally live well.
And maybe even that pale individual mass-hour, locked in car or office, outside their fears in the face of possible waves of immigrants a day will understand how good is cycling for work and on holiday, will decide to leave the womb protected, to give up some spaghetti and try to get to know different worlds from the village he was born. In doing so stop being afraid of immigrants, it abbronzerà a bit and help reduce national dependence on oil imports.
