"Laici" e terza forza? Sì, in Italia sono stati influenti. Ma i liberali non sono solo laici
In the search scientific terminology should be pointed out the choice and scope of the working hypotheses. So, quite correctly, was the same author Massimo Teodori during the presentation of the essay History of the laity and clergy in the Italian Communist (Marsilio 2008) point out that more than opposition to clericalism, the term "secular" wanted to understand a meaning much wider (or narrower according to the point of view), or those parties, movements, intellectuals and foreign newspapers and to the Christian Democrats and the Catholic culture, both the PCI and the common culture.
seems obvious? But, no, this methodological premise we have ice cream. Because on one hand, it is true, on balance it turns out now that have had enormous influence, far superior to what we should expect from the mere sum their election results, the so-called "secular" as residually understood. (By the way, the more correct term "secular", let's face it, is so bad that is used more by the Church and the Vatican in order that the secularists themselves controversial).
Author and co-presenters in the presentation, in fact, agreed that almost one third of the electoral votes was "secular", at least until the end of the First Republic. So much so that in a fit of pessimism Teodori has admitted that it is clear at this point, after those repeated missed opportunities, the union of all "secular" does not do more.
But on closer inspection, what it apparently meant to slice off the cake and political power? That had formed even before the ideological and philosophical disputes is over the meeting place, a real Third Force. A policy area, that is, able to mediate between the duopolists DC and PCI, large enough and strong enough to threaten or to ally with one or the other duopolies behave so as to "tip the balance."
But it was a third force of pure power, because in terms of cultural and ideological differences, even between the two main components, the Liberals (PLI and PRI) and the Socialists (PSI er PSDI), were not so great as to make operational in the daily political, economic and trade union that does not alleged or virtual, but real, though inefficient, the Third Force. Also because of the usual radical, then more fully liberal-socialists now, leaned on the first hour, now on the second side of the scale, and therefore could not be fully utilized by any of the two components.
no accident, the exception that proves the rule was contrary to the Department and individual moral issues such as divorce, abortion ol'obiezione of conscience, who saw perfectly together, like in the big final rally before the referendum on divorce, Piazza del Popolo in Rome, where there was everything from a Malagodi Parri. But unlike Teodori, it should be considering the visual symbol, theatrical, even mass, Terza Forza laica, confinato com'era alle pure questioni di coscienza, diciamo meta-partitiche, era anche la definitiva decretazione dell'inutilità politica di quella artificiosa categoria.
L’errore fondamentale dei "terzaforzisti" fu infatti – lo ha ripetuto nella presentazione lo stesso Teodori, che è stato a lungo dirigente e deputato radicale – quello di litigare e antipatizzare cordialmente tra di loro: Pannella non sopportava Saragat, questi aveva in antipatia Malagodi, il quale non amava La Malfa, e così via. E tutti erano concordi nel disprezzare Pannella, del resto abbondantemente ricambiati.
Non parliamo, poi, dei socialisti Psi: l’arrivo di Craxi allontanò anziché avvicinare la prospettiva di una terza forza laica davvero operativa. Basti pensare al Concordato con la Chiesa, segretamente preparato e presentato come un fulmine a ciel sereno. Noi laici liberali ne fummo colpiti: avemmo la conferma che il velleitario PSI craxiano perseguiva solo una politica di puro potere. Altro che ideologia. Non si sentiva né laicista, né terza forza, ma semplicemente mirava a scalzare e sostituire il PCI o la DC, nientemeno, nella più comoda posizione di "seconda forza".
Ulteriore complicazione, l’appartenenza dei socialisti e di alcuni socialdemocratici alla CGIL che allora era collegata con una "cinghia di trasmissione" al PCI. E quindi qualsiasi ipotesi di effettiva terza forza si sarebbe scontrata anche con questa ambigua infiltration.
This is intended to be a mere exercise in rhetoric paradoxical statement that the journalism Salvemini (in a 1953 paper in the weekly World , properly distributed by his Liberal Lamedica of Veneto) feels at once liberal, democratic, republican and socialist indeed none of the four, having regard to their quarrels, envy, strife and figures. It was part of the stylistic "good" of a newspaper that was - and is in the ideology of Salvemini Pannunzio - prove to be completely independent, but also sensitive and attentive to the vast post-shareholder lib lab and the readers of middle-class Croce's intellectual or democratic.
Therefore, it is the working hypothesis "secular" = residual third force between DC and PCI, which does not hold up historically or at the ideological level. A too wide, muddy swamp. Both options were divergent economic, political, methodological, including liberal Republicans, on the one hand, and socialist, albeit democratic, on the other. Do not forget that even today the only two options are still possible democratic and reformist liberal and socialist. Merge them, it would be illogical and ambiguous.
But today times have changed radically. Communism collapsed and liberalism has emerged, more to the demerits of his opponents for their own merits, as the only political doctrine, effectively and with fewer side effects. And socialism is dead or dying.
Therefore, if a third force in the Republic botched and had contested for more than 25 percent today according to the pure ideological views of the respondents only the liberals would have well over 30 or 40 percent. Although voters have been traditionally marry in almost all parties, and therefore difficult due to the coherence unit shewn ideological party.
But the point is that we liberals do not want any more, today, an ambiguous unity of the so-called "secular" meant to Teodori. We do not need. It riproporrebbero in all the contradictions and dialectics which divided the parties of penta. At the point where we, as today for a quirk of history, we found the knife from the ideological part of the handle, we want the unity of the liberals. Other than "secular".
That would have been the case in several movements, parties or personalities liberals to be connected. The more correct lesson of "lay" just as liberal, individualistic, anti-clerical, defenders of competition and liberalization, friends of the West and advocates of NATO, would have given the conduct of research a more linear and less ambiguous, at least to pay attention the presentation of this interesting volume. Volume
that we have not read, and now, with that, we will read avidly.

Liberali e repubblicani: guardare al P.L. Europeo e all’Internazionale Liberale
While the anti-liberalism, ethical, legal, institutional, economic, raging in the political class of the left and right, one half against "modern" and that even among Italy's European slipping due to age-old cultural deficit, now appears much changed in the liberal sense, that consoles a few heroic volunteers - "civil society" to name a few, as if to make clear that their "civil" are not - they are committed to giving substance to the utopia of reunification and revitalization of the layman. And by "lay", a word incorrectly in Italy but traditional, we mean the real ones: Liberals and Republicans.
Substantial areas of these two glorious historical components of the Risorgimento that time, the impetus came from this blog two years ago, which gave rise to the first poster and the first coordination among liberals that the history of Italian flavors (June 2006), they are led back to unity after decades of diaspora , not only to praise the past, which is to be commended, but rather for the relaunch of Italy today and tomorrow. Why only them, to us, it is this task? Simple: because all ideologies have collapsed, it is true, except the one that has seen the Cavour, the Mazzini, the Cross, Nathan, the Einaudi, La Malfa, Ernesto Rossi's, create a new Italy, that their intentions had be less similar as possible to the reign of the Bourbons or the Pope, and more similar to Britain.
The path of our Committee, who works in an environment - the secular - fraught with idiosyncrasies, personalities and old ways to the subdivision, has thus far been slow but positive. Against expectations, it is still active in two years after its foundation, and indeed has had great success, which goes far beyond 10 or 12 symbols and has already gathered a reversal of historical trends, to stimulate the process of rapprochement for the first time in 15 years of virtually all branches of liberalism represented until 1993 the old Liberal Party, and even after 150 years of liberal Republicans, at least in part.
The process is evolving slowly and the politics of small steps. Now the focus has been on the forthcoming elections (local and European).
I've always been personally opposed to forge ahead and present to the voters without first clearly explained the major new teacher, with events that must necessarily be "great" to impress in the memory and erase old stereotypes established over 60 years of political loser. Because - I have repeatedly said since the Act of the founding of the Committee, in 2006 - the science of psychology of communication is clear: we are so late, because of liberal politicians on the stage so far (after all Malagodi and La Malfa), which should be given the people, through the diffident political journalists used to see us lose the sense of real break in the trend, that is a drastic solution of continuity with the past, with entirely new methods of communication, with a gritty political personnel and the Anglo-Saxon.
But my intuition is never shared by his friends, because true States-General to re-foundation of the world organization presuppose liberal throughout the territory that the republican-liberal world has not and apparently do not even want to have, because now with the internet would not impossible, and even economically. Not to mention, funding needed for small, poor or no connections with the Italian industrial lighting, the few who in a crowd of entrepreneurs accustomed to protectionism, the hoped-for policy of state support, more or less hidden, I would definitely prefer the meritocracy of the market's true.
However, if we must re-election in unifying process has just begun, at least let's do it with dignity and providing the best hand (which for us, unlike women, not the "side B" ...) and not going to meet ' yet another unjust defeat, at least so that the first digit of the percentage is zero, we, in theory, we would have our half of the Italians.
Indeed, the difference between 40 or more per cent and 1 per cent or more, would provide the numerical measure tangible, scientific, of our inability to represent the new Italians, the New Liberals born in 1990 and 2000. Today - comfortable enough with the excuses for our laziness or incompetence - are many, many. The old general knew better. It is worth exposing the army into battle and be counted by enemies, even without first having made propaganda campaigns in cities and villages, and called the national lever? No need to Caesar or Napoleon to say no.
part of the preparation unit of all the Italian liberals, even in anticipation of elections, however, initiatives in full swing in the liberal camp. By his friend Claudio Pietroni, Liberal Forum and the Committee of the Marches of Italian Liberals, who held Aug. 30 at the IV National Congress of Loreto "Coordination of Italian liberal for a liberal policy", I get the following statement:
"This was another occasion meeting place for those political and cultural formations that are recognized in the great historical tradition of liberalism, which in the dialogue are a method of aggregation, even at the local level, to offer people an alternative to the two major camps of left and right, both impervious to liberalism.
"It 'was a new positive stage - continues the release of Pietroni - improving on the path della tradizionale diaspora liberale che ha raggiunto l’acme nel 1992, in occasione dello scioglimento del PLI e della cosiddetta Prima Repubblica, ma si è anche evidenziato un vuoto politico di presenza del pensiero liberale.
"Il convegno ha confermato e rafforzato la necessità di prestare ascolto alle aspettative dei cittadini sul territorio in previsione delle prossime amministrative di primavera e delle elezioni europee della primavera del 2009. Si è, inoltre, sottolineata la necessità di curare meglio e con più frequenza la comunicazione via Internet.
"Inoltre, non potendo intervenire sulla modifica della legge elettorale per le prossime elezioni europee, modifiche concernenti lo sbarramento, l’eventuale aumento the number of divisions over the introduction of the blocked list, it was decided to continue with the project's initial signature collection "as if" the means, human energy, cultural and financial were sufficient to overcome any obstacle.
"has been very positive meeting with Mr. Lorenzo Furlan, coordinator of non-partisan" To reduce the cost of politics ", which aims to present a draft law of popular initiative (see www.aboliamoleprovince.it). We agreed to solve the common problem of collecting signatures, and possibly also a help for the elections.
"In conclusion, the main objective of the path taken is quello di dare vita ad un’ampia costituente che faccia riferimento al Partito Liberale Europeo (ELDR) e all’Internazionale Liberale (IL) al fine di avviare la riorganizzazione dell’area in vista delle Europee 2009 e delle prossime amministrative. Questa ambizione per un soggetto politico nuovo, è suffragata dalla partecipazione di chi si dichiara repubblicano, riformatore o laico e si riconosce parte della famiglia culturale che fa riferimento al Partito Liberale Europeo e all’Internazionale liberale.
"Il Convegno si è concluso – così si chiude il Comunicato – con l’annuncio di un nuovo appuntamento per martedì 16 settembre a Roma, assieme al Partito Liberale (De Luca), alla Federazione Liberal (Morelli), the Forum for the unity of the Republicans (arsenic) and other groups that are promoting the project constituent (see www.listapereuropee.it) "
