As you might have heard, on the 15th "Occupy Rome" turned in to a Riot.
This image suits perfectly what happened that day http://imageshack.us/f/684/30003410150332970673912.jpg/
That day two kind of demonstrants became evident: the pacific one and the violent one. What they both want to achieve is CHANGE. It is said that black blocks might be even hired by the government and it might be true but hey, I don't know.
What is certain though, is that on the violent side were not only black blocks, but also normal citizens.
As I'm living in Rome right now, I talked with few people that were present that day and they told me about their violent acts; Students, workes, lots of them fought the police are peple whos future is uncertain. The global financial crisis is taking away their wealth. They are angry, they are so desperate their only way to let the world know about them was the violent acting.
I saw anger, fear, uncertainty. When they spoke to me I couldn't do anything but feeling empathy and nearly supporting them. Most of them have families, children, they are loosing everything.
How would you act if you were in their same situation?
History teach us that 99% of revolutions succeded thanks to violence, how can we CHANGE if nobody is willing to care about pacific protest? How can we find a solution to our problem if the governments want exactly the opposite? We are not ruled by them, we are ruled by global lobbies and banking system, governments are their tools to keep their prefered global order safe.
I personally don't know. I lived in Italy for 25 years. In this life time I saw always the same politicians. They were not representing their country, they were using their power to personal gain. You all know who's the man, shit, Berlusconi was doing "lex ad personam" the whole time. I never saw the parlament arguing about something else than his personal buttsaving laws. 20 years of NOTHING. And he ruled for this long because of his enormous economic power and influence (he owns a big part of italian media).
Now, Berlusconi's era is finally going to end. Obviously he is acting to let his political party be able to run his business without him.
Financial crisis and Post-Berlusconi's political scenerio will really put us on the edge.
What can we really do?
Nothing.
