@miriamrobern @jackofalltrades @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin The Albanian communist regime has been ignored by the entire world, it has not been pressurised by anyone. And it was a paranoid regime that brought only misery to the Albanian people.
@jackofalltrades @miriamrobern @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin Italy was not very democratic when fascism took hold. It was a country with appalling illiteracy, with an economy that was in many ways still feudal, especially in the south, and an exceptional power of the Catholic Church. If the historical conditions justified the violence - this seems to me to be your thesis - then the fascist violence was justified.

@jackofalltrades @miriamrobern @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin The matter is more complex. In a democratic system, there are parties that serve the interests of the ruling class - in Italy the Christian Democrats, the party of the corrupt, served the interests of the rich and the mafia for decades -, parties that serve the interests of the workers, trade unions, movements and so on. At times there may be authoritarian drifts, but really no comparison with communist or fascist regimes is seriously possible.
@jackofalltrades @miriamrobern @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin Your thesis is that the UK in the 80 was the same thing af the Albany of Enver Hoxha?
@jackofalltrades @miriamrobern @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin In Italy, as in all democratic countries, the right to strike is guaranteed by law. Which country are you referring to?

This is yesterday's news: five policemen were convicted of beating a prisoner in San Gimignano prison. They are not always convicted: but to think that this is the same as in an undemocratic country is to be in bad faith.

@jackofalltrades @12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin The difference is that in a capitalist country the policeman is prosecuted. But I am not defending capitalism. In a capitalist country I grew up in a 38 square metre house. But to counter capitalism with socialism is to be left behind a hundred years ago.
@MisssFreedom@mastodon.uno @soul1986 mi sa che hai ragione.
@12thRITS @joesabin@mastodon.world @bethsawin My partner's grandfather was sentenced to 18 years in prison for criticising the government, in a socialist nation. It is surreal that we still talk about socialism.
