The heretic and opportunists 
Urged by friends, much younger, who have not had the fortune to know him, intrigued by the ceremonies, commemorations and some literary news that these days are interested in him, I was asked to talk about Beppe Niccolai. Which, on one hand puts me in the spotlight, with no evidence of personal merit, if not the master and geographical, on the other brings to mind a political season that seems lost in a time far away, a time perhaps marked by hard fighting, but certainly full of yearning which the approval theater and interchangeable left-right now even suggesting. For those who have had the good fortune to know him, la propria vita politica non può non esserne stata segnata. Dai suoi insegnamenti, dalle sue parole, dal dubbio che alimentava in noi tutti per spingerci alla riflessione attraverso anche un’inquietudine che poteva far soffrire in quell’ansia di verità che andava cercando. Era un esempio, ma non solo. Rappresentava tutto quello che avremmo voluto essere ma che non siamo riusciti a raggiungere. E’ l’Uomo che ci parlava di Corridoni e Berto Ricci, ed auspicava la sintesi e la ricomposizione tra i concetti cardine di Nazione e Socialismo. Senza mai sfociare nel più becero nazionalismo. Dove Nazione stava a significare anche i luoghi dell’anima e della memoria di ognuno di noi. Un sentiero, un ruscello, un borgo. Insomma dove la Comunità aveva il sopravvento sullo Stato, sulle gerarchie e sulle burocrazie. Ci parlava del rispetto per l’altro, la voglia di capirne le ragioni e comprendere che ovunque si soffriva e si lottava contro il potere opprimente quella non poteva non essere anche la nostra lotta. Si faceva carico del senso di smarrimento che la comunità stava subendo, mentre sprofondava sempre più nel niente che l’Occidente stava portando nei nostri cuori. Questo era il Beppe che ho conosciuto. E che oggi molti tirano per la giacchetta, quasi a volerlo cooptare nelle loro schiere; forse per cercare di riempire il vuoto che contraddistingue la loro azione politica. Molti si fanno la domanda retorica se oggi fosse tra noi Beppe dove sarebbe posizionato? Uno dei primi, that not only asked the question but arrogance is well known the answer was the current Minister of Infrastructure Hon Matteoli, that on a piece published in "Millennium July-September 2007" Beppe Niccolai positioned within AN. On "The echo of Versilia " No. 7 of September 15, 1998, referring to the elders of the MSI-DN in a piece titled "You planted the vineyard. Enable young people to harvest! "Niccolai wrote this .... the act more difficult, more bitter, more painful, but that leaves its mark beneficial: to stop thinking for elective office, inside and outside the party, from the highest to the most marginal. To continue to serve there are tasks of service . Beppe those words had witnessed years before giving up after two terms of office to a new nomination for a seat in House. His "dolphin" was Matteoli. Since 1983, heated seats parliamentary, senatorial and ministerial level, showing how difficult it is to follow the teachings of the masters. But many others should be ashamed for Beppe clumsy attempt to enlist in their ranks. Also from "The echo of Versilia " n ° 09/08 of 31 December 1986 in a piece titled "Europe and Western irreconcilable terms," \u200b\u200bhe wrote, "I people die, even if slowly, forget their roots, become 'other' is thrown in the lap of mother-power, saying: 'Make the story, even for me, well you make the most abhorrent filth, the most vile slander, I do not complain, I will always your side. I'll sacrifice for you, West! I have no history, I have no memory, no longer know who I am. What's the history books? He's right Falcucci the street, burn 'em, we do not need more, we are the West. "
Italy, Europe does not exist. There is a different reality, undefinable, wide, sink into: it's called the West. And the last image, the supreme representative of the West is the way American life: the United States of America. The country: the American society. It is so beautiful that the PCI is being made of its secular arm: long live god-money, the economy as a destiny!
But what about us? We applaud? We do too Western, American, reformism, the market? Disappear, then. No longer the nation, but the area. West. No more culture, but the market. West. In the name of the dominant ideology that tolerates all but the West does not respect anything, in which nothing is more valuable, but everything has a price . "An analysis merciless advance that describes our times. That makes us understand that Berlusconi is not the cause but the effect as antiberlusconismo is not the solution to our problems because he eats not of the same human values \u200b\u200bof Arcore. The right question to ask therefore is not so much with those who today would Beppe, as with those who would not. Beppe belongs to everyone, without rhetoric of those who seek every day to pursue the dream that we can condense in the words of Berto Ricci often repeated that ".. Italy tough, taciturn, contemptuous, which brings his soul to safety suffering of counterfeiting, the posters, the charlatans, clowns, writers, of the commanders. Italy makes us often because we swear more rigid, more careful, more macros: Close perfection of the saints. " The others are just opportunists who have nothing to do with that story. Please, forget Beppe.
