L'Italia come "grande Proletaria": sul nazionalismo pascoliano (2004)

Osservatorio Globalizzazione, 2020

Con piacere ospitiamo questa approfondita riflessione del professor Luca Tedesco, docente all’Università di Roma Tre, sulla parabola politica e culturale della Destra contemporanea che, secondo l’autore, intestardendosi sui velleitari sovranismi di stampo nazionale dimentica una lunga tradizione fatta di approfondite riflessioni sugli equilibri geopolitici europei e globali.

During the period from 1914 to 1915, prior to Italy’s entry into the First World War, Freemasonry was a powerful force in Italian public life with a strong presence in every part of the nation and in the most vital organs of the State (parliament, public administration, the armed forces). Between them, the Grand Orient and the Grand Lodge of Italy counted 25,000 members and more than 500 lodges. Freemasons played a critical role in the campaign to mobilize Italian public opinion and political parties in support of Italy’s intervention in the war as an ally of France and Great Britain. To do so, they abandoned the movement’s traditional cosmopolitan and pacifist stances and adopted instead the objectives of the nationalists, a shift that would be consolidated during the war. Nonetheless, from 1917 onwards Italian Freemasons joined their counterparts in other European countries to press for the creation of a League of Nations to promote a new post-war universal order premised on the peaceful coexistence of independent and democratic nations. In examining the initiatives taken by Italian Freemasons in this period, this article focuses on the principles that inspired them, the language they adopted and the forms of communication and mobilization they used.

Nazioni e narrazioni tra l'Italia e l'Europa, 2013

The article aims to address the relationships between the Italian Marxism and the peripheral nationalisms, through the reading of a political history that has its roots in the Cologne Congress of the Communist Party of Italy, and that continued silently until the dissolution of “Democrazia Proletaria”. The Program of Action adopted in Cologne in 1931, which contemplated the creation of the Federation of Socialist and Soviet Republics of Italy, declared the beginning of a troubled and ambiguous relationship between our national Marxism and the right of self-determination. Immediately after being set aside by the official Communist movement, these issues reemerged periodically in the debates of the revolutionary left. From the relationships between “Lotta Continua” and “Potere Operaio” with the Basque and Irish separatists, to the formal and official recognition by “Democrazia Proletaria” of the Italian peripheral nationalities, there are many elements which call for careful reflection on these issues. The analysis of the political decisions and the struggles waged in the name of self-determination by the New Italian Left could allow a greater understanding of the complex relationship between socialism and nationalism that it has been too often misunderstood.
