The wind of democracy blowing from Tahrir Square, Syria, Spain. And tomorrow in Italy, with appointments in the streets of many cities. Perhaps historians in the future, do not devote a single line of their tomes to Scilipoti. Rivers of ink will be paid instead on the Arab Spring, "the French Revolution" of the Arab world.
If you think about it, it's crazy: we are living the story in real time. For the first time in a protest calling for rights and democracy, is playing the "Third World" and extends to the first. There were those who said that Islamic culture was in itself incompatible with democracy. Far from it: the exploits of the Egyptians have already set an example for the countries of the West.
Now the flag is passed in Madrid, thousands of young people ask Indignados in Puerta del Sol "Democracia real ya", "real democracy now." Shouting "We will not pay for the crisis", they want a truly participatory politics, a fight to the youth unemployment (40 per cent in Spain to 30 in Italy), a welfare reform, a European Union that deals with citizens, not the finance and banking.
From Madrid to witness the protest is coming at this time in Italy. Using the Internet, as in the rest of the world to meet and coordinate, left the tam tam. The protest has already a name: "Italian Revolution - real democracy now." It spreads from the pages of Purple people (here and here), the newly formed Facebook page that already has several thousand members and Twitter (with the tag # italianrevolution).
The appeal aims to become viral, "We demand that Italy is born in a spontaneous concentration in the main squares in Italy, aimed at reclaiming a political and social change in a short time. Through social networking and word of mouth can do it. Spread the news and create pages in every Italian city, send SMS and we go down all the streets now.
" At the time the appointments scheduled for tomorrow (all around twenty) are: in Bologna, Piazza Nettuno, in Turin, Piazza Castello, Milan, in Piazza Duomo in Florence, Piazza Santa Croce in Rome, in Piazza of Spain, in Padova, Prato della Valle, in Pisa, Piazza Garibaldi in Palermo, the Teatro Massimo.
As Dr. Zhivago, Boris Pasternak tells the October Revolution in Russia of the century. The masterpiece of Russian writer shows how the hopes, the drama, the chaos of a revolution, are interwoven with our daily lives, loves, everyday tasks. Today everything is different, and future calls for democracy, communism has remained in the twentieth century, and if not Tahrir Square waved Islamic symbols in Madrid did not see any hammer and sickle.
While many people think that everything is as before, the wind changes, the story, he insisted: the underground river of the critical spirit and participation that has swelled in recent years on the Internet, is now trying to spring open squares. It is only a beginning, of course. But those who waited for this all begin?
