For years now I've been wondering what keeps off European institutions from banning fascism, an act which is even indicated as necessary by constitutional laws in many countries. And my conclusion is that it is not democracy nor tollerance what keeps this situation rolling, it is collusion with law enforcement and military ranks, something evident just checking simple subscription logs. Meanwhile, even for moderates, the fact that such situations keep recurring makes it easy to keep activists busy on martyrdom, then labeling them desperate and violent. Neo-fascist assasinations are recurring regularly in Italy in the past 10 years, most well known episodes are Dax in Milano 2003, Renato Biagetti in Roma in 2006, or two senegalese workers shot dead in Florence in 2011. Here an account I've written some years ago about the formation of a new para-military neo-fascist group that a former Italian military general tried to start, the GNI, and some doodles around their symbolism which some people did not quite get at that time. http://jaromil.dyne.org/journal/italy_2009.html#fascism Please note that both Spataro and Saya had relations with Stay Behind. The whole network of trust is tainted. In Italy we'd be better off deploying persecutors and law enforcement from different European countries. ciao -- http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 6113 D89C A825 C5CE DD02 C872 73B3 5DA5 4ACB 7D10 NEW! superseeding old key C2B68E39 due to expiration date signature and revokation history on pgp.mit.edu - plz upd # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
