do not fear... it is I who am no longer responding to you. I said what I had to say, then everyone holds onto their own opinions. anyway, I repeat, I am not a servant of any party. I hate Italian communists and I’m starting to be annoyed by those of Refoundation too. I am a convinced Marxist, which is different... for you it might be nuances, but for me, with my profound and erudite political culture, it is not. I will only respond to darknight, who seems to have a bit of sense. friend, the combination of communism-nazism-fascism is very strong and very flimsy at the same time. Fascism, as Mussolini himself admitted, was inspired by the Bolshevik movement until Fascism entered Parliament. There it became a party. There is a clear distinction to be made, something that often people without political culture do not notice, between communism and Stalinism. They are distinctly different and separate. Lenin's communism is a clever work, anational, positive, and propositional. Stalin's communism has only the name; everything else is crap. For example, the first thing Lenin did once he transformed the October Revolution into a coup d'état was to prohibit the sale of any state drug (alcohol) and legalize abortion (we are talking about 1917). Stalin, in his secret reports, believed and then actually succeeded in increasing the production of low-cost alcohol (vodka) to boost the army from 400,000 to 600,000 units. Between Stalinism and Nazism, a single distinction must be made. Hitler's cult was a spontaneous thing (let's not forget the Saar referendum won by 98% of the votes), mainly due to the economic and employment recovery of a country that emerged from the First World War destroyed and eager for revenge. Stalin's was artificially created because, at least initially, it wasn’t arriving spontaneously. I’m sorry: Stalin is crap just like Hitler (perhaps even more... but that’s a long discussion) and also Mussolini, but to lump them all together is impossible... at least for me, who enjoys politics (not in the sense of work, but as a passionate scholar). Populism is a terrible beast, and many things are often forgotten, especially not to speak when things are not deeply understood. As Orwell would say, as Mussolini said, and as the Berlusconi government wanted... IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Great review... the Wipers are one of my favorite bands and this album is great but incomparable to "Is It Real?" let's say a four... just because they've done better. Much better.

fallen...you're feeling unwell and you're in a state of ignorance that's frankly disgusting. monchia: the Italian education system. anyway, you're too stupid to deserve an answer. keep listening to Nazi bands and jerking off to images of that piece of shit Pio XII and Woyla.

I quote kangaroo... if you were less arrogant and a jerk, I would have said the same things you said even though I view negatively what you see positively about America.

Poletti, do you really think I want to get closer to you??? Do you happen to like sadomasochism??? Your nothingness bothers me. One minute you say one thing, you realize you've said something stupid, and the next day you change your stupid thing. Who cares if I like Berlin and you like New York... what the hell is it? A soccer match??? Do you like New York? And what's the problem? Did I say it's ugly? I've never been to America and I don't even want to see it. I'm just saying it's an undemocratic country founded on ignorance and political interests from the very start, since it was born. I think it's awful, and honestly, I might be undemocratic too, but I also think people who don't notice this are awful. I can understand ten years ago, but now there's the internet, and everyone can inform themselves and learn everything about the Vietnam War, the Cuban embargo (by the way, I'm not with Castro... in fact, I don't like him at all), the bombings in Nicaragua, the CIA's support for Pinochet, Suharto, the Indonesian President from a while back, the pre-World War I issues in Asia and the resulting Open Door Policy, the Marshall Plan, the McCarthyism (on this point, a fantastic movie directed by George Clooney was made... it’s called Good Night, and Good Luck), the Twin Towers packed with explosives, Saddam's nonexistent biological weapons, we can know that Bush and Bin Laden are family friends and that on September 12, 2001, 42 members of Bin Laden's family were allowed to escape (at the government's choice) without even being interrogated, etc. etc... The only American politician I find likable and admirable is Franklin Delano Roosevelt... for the rest, my crap understands more about politics.

Of course there are places that I consider great, otherwise, since I'm not a coward, I would have already killed myself. My paradise is called Berlin. There I feel good, I have fun, there are intelligent and stimulating people. That said, I never dismantle arguments with a few half-hearted words... actually, I only speak when I know, avoiding talking just for the sake of talking. Poletti, do you realize? First, you play the elitist: you don’t like going to the movies... there are too many people; we need to listen to the critics because the public is stupid... and then you flee into the crowd: there are millions of people who like America. And why should I care if millions of people like it? There are also those who like crap, and they're not few. Anyway, what is certain is that you are either a Berlusconian or a similar beast... no one in the world would not respond to being accused of being a Berlusconian.

fallen...nothing personal, but for fuck's sake, get informed. A bit of culture, a bit of knowledge about the past doesn't hurt. War is a shaping element of Nazism. After the occupation of France, with the impossibility of occupying Great Britain, Hitler waged war on Russia, Operation Barbarossa, just to keep the soldiers and civilians happy... it’s known that panic doesn’t allow you to think. That said, to appreciate the actions of Woytila, a great piece of shit (sorry, but I have to associate the word shit with his name), it doesn’t take political finesse but just a lot of stupidity and malice. He is not a diplomat. He is just a bad man who cared for his own interests, who contributed to creating this oppressive return of religiosity in politics. Furthermore, a Polish pope followed by a German one, after more than three hundred years of Italian popes, feels like a scam. Let’s stop this bullshit of political propaganda. I don’t do any prepropaganda and you're as stupid as the people who screamed scandal when Pasolini’s ricotta came out. Read "il manifesto," it will do you good. I'm not a communist, but a Marxist. I don't give a shit about the parties. In any case, it’s true that Nazism worked for the suppression of all religions and in this, strange to say, I find myself in agreement. Religions, from the first to the last, are just a way to cloud your judgment, to indoctrinate you with bad and stupid values. I'm not anti-democratic or racist... I just find human stupidity annoying and those who don’t notice it. For goodness' sake, everyone is free to do what they please. You’re free to listen to groups that praise Nazism and I'm free to consider you an idiot.

There was no doubt that you love America a lot... as an average, ignorant man who waits for others' opinions even to go to the bathroom, this was to be expected. The no music, no soccer, no cinema, no politics wasn't referring to the Roman initiatives. I won't allow that. Even though I find Rome deathly boring and the Romans uniquely charming, I live in the desert where the highest cultural initiative is burning trash. The various no's were aimed at Poletti, who doesn't understand a damn thing about music, cinema, politics, or even soccer. In short, Poletti, you are a monster, you're an average man and what's worse is that you’re proud of it. Dada well: I'm a loser, but a loser who always speaks about things he knows, about politics as well as music, without consulting critics and other bullshit. You’re a monster and in my opinion, you’re even Berlusconian... if that's the case, I'll send you a 10-euro Postepay recharge. Buy some gas and set yourself on fire.

Are we generalizing? In my opinion, we’re going too slow. America is a mess because Americans are what they are: cutting-edge patriotic conservatives, ignorant and populist. In 50 years, when they no longer have control, then we can talk freely. Bush, I don’t know if you realize it, organized the collapse of the towers to create a climate of fear that would allow him to do whatever he wanted both at home and abroad... it’s not that far from the Reichstag fire orchestrated by the SS to then blame the communists. It’s not generalizing... it’s just free talk. That’s all.

What are you talking about... stop it. Are there still people attached to the church??? I can understand religions (it's acceptable to believe in Santa Claus too), but the church, no. Woyla: what can we say about that enormous piece of shit; what about its relationships with the great dictators (hosted and showcased in the Vatican)? The church is man, man is shit, the church is shit just like man, and like man it only goes where the power is. But is there anyone with at least a pinch of sense? Do you realize that if you leaf through the Communist Party manifesto, you read the same things professed by the Catholic religion? Think, people, think. Why did the church oppose it? Because power is tempting to everyone. Why hasn't anyone decided to dissolve the Lateran Pacts, laws established by Mussolini, one of the most stupid and negative people in history? Wake up. You can find all the sources you want, but for you, you remain the best just as I am for me. Ever heard of Bildung? No? That's why we are the stupidest people in Europe: because we always need someone to tell us what to think.
