Notes:
here is an example useful to review the relevance of issues still burning in the italian history in the twentieth century, that is, I suggest reading this book by Gianpaolo Pansa, as an example of objectivity that it would be desirable to be used by all, and at first by me.
No coincidence that the communists gangs challenged and prevented the presentation of the books by this journalist-writer who tries to tell a truth uncomfortable to some people,
These facts of the Italy's recent past, reported today, explain why the communists did help and support the Berlusconi's government fall in 2011, having allies the Germany's chancellor Merkel, the international freemasonry, and the big US banks which own rating agencies.
I call them communists, because although the party has changed its name, didn't change the typical methods. These people are not interested in the good of their country, but in the power at all costs and by all means, as they always did.
Summary of the book
On April 25, those who go to the streets singing "Bella ciao" are convinced that all the partisans did fight for the freedom of Italy.
It is a suggestive image of the Resistance, but it isn't the truth. The communists fought, and died, for a goal unacceptable by those who fought instead for democracy.
The war against Germans and fascists was only the first time for a revolution destined to found a popular dictatorship, at the orders of the Soviet Union. Giampaolo Pansa tells how the leaders of Garibaldi's brigades have tried to make this authoritarian plan and how they have acted against those who refused to submit to their hegemony.
When shooting begun, to say no to the Communists demanded a lot of courage. The Communist Party was the absolute star of the Resistance. More than half of the formations responded only to red commanders and political commissars. The book "Bella ciao" reconstructs the path of the bands led by Luigi Longo and Pietro Secchia since August 1943, with their departure from the confinement of Ventotene.
Then the first terrorist actions of Gap, the murder of partisan leaders hostile to the Communist Party, the cynicism in provoking the enemy's reprisals, were considered the necessary step to enlarge the fire of the civil war.
The counter history of Pansa reveals the dark side of the Resistance and the ruthlessness of a clash entirely within the anti-fascist front. It brings in light the events, characters and crimes always ignored.
# 'Bella ciao' is a song celebrating the people who retired on the mountains and bushes, that supported by english help fought against the Germans and Italian fascists. The influence of partisan brigades was negligible in the war evolution, but the myth has served to conquer space in Italian politics after the war, in the first period with the murder of thousands of innocent people, and then at last by having ousted the democratic parties opposed to the communists by the shameless political use of justice. This happened through the mobilization of a part of the judiciary power. |
History notes
- When King Vittorio Emanuele III dismissed Benito Mussolini the head of government after that he has been discouraged by the Fascist Council assembly - July,25,1943 - everyone realized that to win the war was impossible because of the nonsense mistakes of that madman Hitler.
Those who hated germans or didn't want to go and be killed along with the Salò Republic army , allied of Germans, after the armistice and Italy's surrender had no other solution but to hide and participate in the partisan struggle. So apart from real criminals or fanatic Communists, there was nothing left to others but to participate in the so said 'resistance', to earn also a place of anti-fascist merit in the post-war.There were no alternatives
- Seeing the economic condition of Eastern Europe immediately after the fall of the Wall in 1989, imagine how it would be once if in Yalta Italy had been assigned to the sphere of URSS influence. There you shudder? Fortunately, being the seat of the Peter's Throne that fool of US President FD Roosevelt did not dare to insist. And fortunately for us there was also Sir. Winston Churchill who supported, but could not avoid the Monarchy fall..
