A quick call to the poor and powerless (for once not about sex). Started to reassess the meaning (and thus the importance) of the classical forms of civil protest, like strikes. Sacrosanct as they are, in most cases are made for the wrong reason and shall have more disadvantages than advantages. We must stop the car down on its dissent and frustration, and a strike - which denies services to citizens of the same poverty and powerlessness - not really affect, both from a moral point of view and especially from a political point of view, on the actions of those who have political and economic power to change things. They want to strike at petrol stations? So do it, I say, denying fuel to the cars of the politicians and forcing them to your bicycle or public transport. They want to protest the researchers? So do it, I say, without interrupting the lessons to students but instead proposing acts of civil disobedience against their superiors unless they themselves do not do the same to their superiors, or by filling out the lessons of stockpiled anti-government force, leading to the discontent of the population voting locations. Farmers want to strike? So do it, I say, filling the halls of Montecitorio civil manure, not stopping the highways full of workers. If you really want to solve problems, and not only give us an excuse to give vent to an end in itself in a historically distinguished the legitimate discontent newspaper, in short, we must rethink these social mechanisms, having the courage and responsibility to pass up the discontent, and not down among our peers. Otherwise, every social struggle will be in vain, Blurred by the perverse admixture of right and wrong due to an incorrect assessment of the real causes and consequences, and the only reason why mutual animosity between political parties irrelevant, that will waste resources fighting a war between the poor thus allowing those in power without having to keep the credit.
Before trumpeting the right to strike, I say, let's flaunt the duty of civil intelligence. O and intelligence enough: more often than not enough.
