La Formazione Delle Élite
A Pedagogy For Democracy by Mario Caligiuri
“The crisis of democracy is one of the crucial issues in our time, engaging in controversy with those who believe in a possible renewal from the bottom. The author proposes a pedagogical reflection, presupposing a social model reconstructed upon making / forming of the elites. There is a need of ruling classes to be effectively controllable, along with a media and economic system that expresses, sustains and represents themselves. We need, therefore, people with a critical way of thinking provided by the education and for them to be able to fight the occult powers which characterize the contemporary society. The attempt of this research is the development of an education for democracy, which arises from a merit-based formation process, that would shape a political system controlled by knowledgeable and skilled citizens within a new circulation of the elite. Inspired by the Gramscian analysis, the author suggests the creation of an unprecedented social bloc composed by young graduates and by small and medium entrepreneurs, the only two categories that could transform Italian society inside a globalized world where everything is possible.”
“Being strangled by a house mortgage house not have happen with the Mutuo Sociale.”
This is the text of the manifesto posted on silhouettes depicting men strangled and hung from their ties today. These were placed in front of banks by the militants of Casapound Italy, in the city of Brindisi.
The action aims to raise public and institutional awareness with regards to problem of families who are unable to make monthly mortgage payments on their first home. At first sight one sees a poster reading, “Your friend the bank will betray you” this is to emphasize that today the stability of the employees is undermined by the principle that one has to be willing to endure so called “workplace flexibility” due to the pressure of the economic crisis.
The proposal of the “Mutuo Soiciale” bill prepared by Casapound Italy, has been received unanimously by the City Council of Viterbo, ensuring that every Italian family can meet the basic need of shelter by recognizing the right to home ownership that is in “compliance” with housing standards, and obtained without bureaucratic speculation. The ability to obtain this should not come from private lenders but from public institutions with the option to suspend repayment due to loss of income, redundancy being an example.
