Chi è sceso in piazza per difendere #Askatasuna ha difeso un’idea più grande del centro sociale, l’idea che le persone hanno il diritto di organizzarsi, di costruire solidarietà senza chiedere autorizzazione al potere.

Anche le persone che fuggono vengono riempite di botte. La violenza è tanta, ma non è niente in confronto alla violenza che ci promettono con i nuovi DL sicurezza, con le promesse di una nuova guerra globale. Il punto non è la violenza, è la liberazione. La violenza come strumento, non fine. Non voglio fare determinismo ma il tema è la gestione dell'ordine pubblico, la creazione chirurgica di un disordine che riproduce sopraffazione.

Tra le notizie, c'è solo quel video. Come sempre, si attiva il meccanismo di invidualizzare una violenza, certamente deprecabile e generalizzarla. E i partiti perdono l'occasione, a "sinistra", di scrivere una dichiarazione utile. Non vogliamo dichiarazioni brillanti, le vogliamo utili. Che non distruggano tutto. La verità è che non sono all'altezza. Come i manifestanti, se la migliore cosa che hanno pensato è prendere i martelli. (Se sono stati loro)
