  • It’s about decorum.

    Berlinguer[*] has been described in many ways but was generally recognised for political coherence and courage, together with a rare personal and political intelligence. A serious and morally rigorous man,[87] he was sincerely respected even by his opponents, such as the Italian Social Movement leader Giorgio Almirante,[**] who paid his homage to Berlinguer and lowered himself in front to his coffin at Botteghe Oscure.[70]

    [*] national ssecretary of the Italian Communist Party (PCI)

    [**] Giorgio Almirante (27 June 1914 – 22 May 1988) was an Italian politician who founded the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, which he led until his retirement in 1987

    Allegedly Almirante, a guy who literally sentence fellow Italians to death, said that “Oltre il rogo non vive ira nemica” (“No foe’s wraith survives the funerary pure”)







  • Let me tell you a story.

    In my country there used to be two right-wing parties. One was led by a crass tycoon with no sense of the institutions, decency snd stuff like that, the other was led by a career politician who had been handpicked by a literal fascist (as in he helped Nazi during WWII).

    The tycoon only wanted to line his pockets, the career politician penned extremely violent laws against migrants and drug users.

    Even left-wing people used to say that at least the career politician had manners and knew how to speak in public.

    Of course things are going to improve for some minorities with Dems in charge, but not for all (Obama and Biden kept on putting people in cages) and the US economy cannot be fixed with a Bandaid approach.

    Not to mention servilism to Israel.
