There seems to be a great contribution to revitalize our youth organization. We invite all Young Communist League to sign Young Communists Communist Left
The conflict, the organization, the new foundation Communist proposals for the Young Communist
Appeal to all militants
This document, drawn from some friends in the territories and is open to all members of the organization, is a contribution to the discussion on the future of the Young Communist League. We firmly believe that the raison d'être of our youth is to become a hub of avant-garde ideal reconstruction of the Communist Party of the PRC, to do this, you must first return it to take shape from the real conflicts that Compare this with them and that they dive. Second, that it incentives and revitalize the debate and practice around the re-establishment of communism in our country. The need for an active and confrontational militancy, reactivation of our youth as an organized structure, fighting for re-founding the Communist: these are points which we hope we have given a voice in these pages. In recent months we have witnessed the construction of positive experiences as the Brigades of active solidarity in Abruzzo, the initiatives of groups and committees Purchase Popular crisis, which contributed to the recovery of the forms of mutualism, however, is necessary for the Communist PRC and the Young Communist League to go further, ask yourself as a subject of conflict, immersed in social disputes and constant relationship with them. We believe that an objective for our Party there is, and that is to give voice and strength to the conflict, and those at work to those of education and antiracism, and that this can be done only from the rediscovery of militancy and the value of the project Communist Refoundation.
The Young Communist League as a democratic and unified subject The current condition of the GC, decimated in numbers and organization that fails to develop political activities, also suffers from a lack of direction, organization and above all political proposal which has its roots not only in the division of the executive Vendola, but well before and well beyond. It has its origin in a conception that is making the policy, common to the previous managers, but still present in a certain political class, based on the logic of domination of one part to another and exclusion of voices of dissent, calling the shots to control a majority, to "quotas" and "internal account" that do not accord with the dialectical perspective that should guide a unified and Communist Youth. Still, in many decisions of local executive bodies of the party are taken without consultation and without the knowledge of the collegiate militant base. So instances of transparency and information, which should be the pillars on which stands the internal democracy, for ulterior motives are circumvented by the class "manager."
For those who care about the preservation of autonomy and the very existence of the GC, the question of democracy in decision-making becomes crucial. To survive and make it as an autonomous subject and communist, the GC can not continue to deprive themselves of a structural dimension pluralist see a permanent confrontation at home, with full conditions of viability for the militants and the substantive practice of democracy at all levels, from the territories. The gear change that we expect in this direction must be realized from the conduct of business of the next youth conference and the training of management teams we have the duty and right, for the good of the organization and our military, to request that we go to conference following a single path, leading to a single document open to argument, however, if you were to go to documents in dispute, and the ideological debate would further erode our organization in a logic of opposition. Above all, we have the right and duty to request and propose that the governing bodies that exist, both in headquarters and in the territories, to adopt a plural and democratic representation, which always looks for a policy of synthesis and unity. The trends in articulation, when enriched by the proposal and processing, is an opportunity for a party, it is not the clash of armored components who put their own interests with those of the Party and thus help to power the flare of militants. Precisely for this reason we must work to form a single management and policy, since unity is the only way to absorb all the energy available and valid beyond the reasoning of faction. All too often for positions of responsibility at all levels of our organization, being hauled from the names of fellow "loyal" to the line of the majority, very often without taking into account their real abilities or aptitudes. We believe however that no exclusion from political life can be applied in an arbitrary manner, and that nobody can be barred from militancy and participation in any organized space in the party - including the leading bodies - one on the basis of their positions or belong to this or that component. Assessment criteria are only eligible in our opinion, the militant commitment, skills, sense of responsibility in the implementation of policy established democratically, loyalty to the Party of all, the real representation on the ground and in the workplace.
The Young Communist League as an autonomous subject and conflictual The conference will involve us just fall during a "hot". Our organization will not forget in the meantime so many conflicts that will explode, the litigation of the precarious workers' struggles at school and work in general, the student movement, the framework for the progressive segregation of the alien, we think, to rebuild and revitalize GC the original plan of the Communist Refoundation, the crucial element of militancy that should be treated as that of internal management. The GC must rebuild, not through abstract discussions real processes, but descending into the reality of conflict as an independent person and supporter of the proposal among the political and organizational moves. We have to decline, however, any liquidation that "dissolve" the GC movements, with no identity and no end of action within them, if not instrumental to follow the natural flow of media attention paid to them. It's part of our duty to maintain the vitality of the Communist movement, on the other hand, to ensure independence and pluralism, must be condemned attitudes of those who act without an institutional link with the struggles at the base of society. It 'good to go back to reiterate that the movements should not be intercepted or used as a matter of bargaining power. They represent a critique of the bipartisan leadership and trends, that the armored rappresentantività of our institutional system. Even if they turn away from political references "Natural" as the PRC, this is due primarily to an exploitation against them, which was seen also in the field by the previous management of the GC, an organization that spoke of the conflict but which to all intents and purposes, with their hands tied by government commitments, proved far from the eyes of ordinary people. The GC is our role to make us an instrument of self-organization and motor control of movements, providing the quantum leap is needed to radicalized them and then to share our political project.
Marxism as a tool of analysis of reality The crucial error of the old management team, who led our organization by reducing it to a sieve, was the desire to liquidate Communism, describing it as a mountain of errors and horrors. Despite having played a positive role in participating in anti-capitalist movement (Genoa 2001 and Florence 2002), the management team did not develop a real political role for the GC. Our organization has been projected in a spiral ideological on the one hand, tried organic fringed shores of the disobedient, the other supported the participation in the Prodi government, reducing everything to a problem of "governance" and not of policy, and that the sole purpose of producing consent to the figure of the "charismatic leader" Bertinotti. In fact, the GC have been reduced to just a liberal education, which supported only battles for civil rights, without challenging the themes of hard work, the right to education and integration, resulting in alienated from the social conflicts may eventually lead to Our foreclosure. One example is the Wave movement, where our organization, guilty of a lack of grounding in the study sites (except for isolated local) has been largely absent from the conflict and criticism from many quarters.
Ours is the only political organization instead left on the youth of the country that could counter the policies of the Berlusconi government and the way common that the right has produced among young people. The GC, which have a history and a tradition deeply rooted in the conflict, must start from the need to build a dam against the reactionary drift, committed to defending the right to study and participating in the struggles against racism, insecurity and exploitation. To achieve this, however, we believe that the GC will take up as central ideological reference Marxism and Leninism, understood not as a mere assertion of identity and dogmatic, but rather as tools to help us interpret the processes of capitalism. For GC Marxism should be an instrument of concrete analysis of reality, through which light the contradictions of the capitalist system, develop strong roots among the young generation, understanding the social and political alienation and actively opposing, both politically and culturally as the background of the right wing and neo-fascist. Think in terms Marxist and Marxist does not mean the rest assimilate notions dogmatic and outdated, it means, rather, strengthen their awareness and their conscience for a critique, an elaboration and a revolutionary proposal effective in the fight for the emancipation of the oppressed.
We want a party that is a "collective intellectual" know the history of the international communist movement is crucial to analyze errors and the degeneration is right and appropriate, but this should be done according wait to not fall into easy review simply making the game of who's sole objective is to render harmless the Communists and their battles. Back to reading the history according to the criteria of historical materialism, leaving a fake idealism that, unfortunately, in recent years has also permeated our organization, it is therefore essential, and only then can we understand certain processes and groped to anticipate some of the dynamics, thus developing a policy effective, and realistic perspective. Precisely for this reason we feel the urgent need to ask, is the party that to our youth, creating path political and theoretical training: Our organization has in fact need to train executives capable of understanding the historical and social dynamics, and to give all those militants analysis tools useful for interpreting reality. We need a party that you do it again "collective intellect", according to Gramsci's conception that all the subjects of intellectual and material production, by the worker to university professor, divided and opposed by capitalism, can make a critical the entire bourgeois society and work out the excess. At the same time, our organization can not focus its energies solely on ideological debate, becoming a sterile and ultra-identity formation, but must bring his action in all contexts of youth conflict.
institutions and the representation of class Another aspect involves the GC to the relationship that they should be with the institutions, after the flattening of institutions led away from the Communist Refoundation real contact with society and conflict. We believe that the consideration that a communist party and its youth component should have the institutions to be a means of representing the interests and class instances, except where this may be exhausted by its political activity. E 'is essential for us clarify this item because it is tied to the fact that the GC for too long been prey to the phenomena of careerism careerism and self-management teams. Unfortunately, despite the split, similar tendencies are still present and call into question the very meaning of the existence of a youth component in the PRC. There are two options equally absurd: a strong identity, but hides strong bureaucratic pressures and moderate times only to hold positions of power in a structure in a coma and another purely liquidation, the heir of the line held by the National Executive who escaped behind a movementism practiced only in words, concealing the intent to liquidate our hotel and its great heritage in tribute to the construction of a united left undefined container only as good crutch left of PD. The drift has led institutional Communist Refoundation to leave their homes to other parties to the conflict as the unions and movements, and the GC to become a structure unknown to most and only suitable springboard for party positions. All this is no longer tolerable, and it is vital work because the GC rediscover the core task of every communist, that of active militancy. This, however, leads us to consider the relationship to be held with other political opposition. We urgently for our very survival Party like a line of strong state autonomy from the PD and the center, since this expresses the subordinate positions and condescending to those of the right, and that ultimately reflect the interests of employers.
politicize the capital-labor conflict In a disastrous economic situation, which in Italy is complicated by the presence of the most reactionary government since the war, and that gives us an extremely high level of social tension, it is clear definitely need a force capable of offering an alternative to the communist society and development are radically different. In this sense, the only way to ensure the survival of the PRC Communist in Italy and the idea is to return to the centrality of work, raise the social roots of the Party and its presence in places of conflict. Faced with the huge number of redundancies caused by the crisis, the increasing job insecurity, the endemic scourge of illegal work, the continuing deaths at work, it is time that the Party and the GC in the head return to their role as engines of capital conflict to work. Millions of young people are now constantly in a state of blackmail in relation to capital through the instrument of precarious work, promoted by various reforms, has fragmented the capacity to contract and workers' claims. The left and the union have not yet been able to respond this condition, which alleges a total restructuring of the labor market in our country and around the world. For the GC and the Party in the fight against insecurity and illegal employment, the specific elements of the more general conflict between capital and labor, must therefore be brought to life a battle in close connection with wage disputes of other workers. Only by uniting all the struggles of the precarious workers, natives and immigrants, so you can rebuild a new movement of workers and workers who are antagonistic to capital.
Experience happy INNSE and the domino effect that followed, along with the struggles of the precarious school, report a high level of tension conflict, ready to get worse this fall. This is necessary but not sufficient. As the Communist Party is essential to interpret the fact that tension grows among the workers, which is expressed mainly on an economic demands, working to raise the political consciousness. If we want to achieve this, the GC will have to engage on two fronts: first, by focusing on the political process and decision-workers, and second, creating some form of coordination among the partners present in the workplace with similar disputes, to share strategies and impress not only effective at the time, but that provide a long-term perspective. This course will lay the groundwork for building a network of communist workers within the mass organizations, starting with the union. Socialize struggles to recreate a class consciousness in the current social wasteland is the aim of having to believe that because our organization proves that he can still make a valuable contribution to the conflict.
anti-fascist struggle and defense of public education Compass essential to all political action of the GC to be anti-fascism, and as a politico-cultural reference and as a social practice, which reconnects to the nature of capitalist Communist youth organization. The sharing of anti-fascist values is now more than ever, necessary and required. In the first place to counter those who, through continuous review work, tends to degrade the meaning of that wealth of ideas that we inherit from the struggles for emancipation of the subaltern classes. Second, because the need for a new militancy in this regard is demonstrated by the recent and increasingly frequent episodes of neo-fascism, which are declined in the old cancer xenophobic, racist, classist and homophobic. The fundamental value of anti is not to be turning into a ceremonial moment, but to become cornerstone of policy. The GC must return to itself as the main force of opposition to neo-fascist and reactionary waves in all the various forms of struggle, starting, for example, take the lead in the coordination of anti-fascists. Should not forget the need for increasingly strong support - and consequently a widespread campaign of insurance - to the various sections ANPI, to give young people new leading role within the association.
Setting initiative quota must be the school where the GC, by guarding against anti-fascism and anti-political pressures, should be able to join at the same time strongly characterize the student movements that have in the coming months . The school is for every Communist Party a natural environment, second only to the factory, where tensions track renewal, as evidenced by the fact that, paradoxically, although the last great mass movement in Italy was just one student last fall. In the school system there are too many contradictions that the demands of capitalism exacerbate: the untenable situation of the teachers are insecure, often dilapidated buildings, school dropout, books, tools and services expensive to be paid by students, limited right to strike or expression, of discouraging Search, discrimination and baronies.
Young Communist unfortunately I have lost time from a position of visibility and reference in the conflict, but they must contribute to Reconstruction of the conflict that accompanied the protests come on, and evolve spontaneously from the reality of movement. These, however, can not independently ensure a consistently high level of conflict, being subject to developments by their very nature imprecise. With the mobilization of the GC this fall will face important opportunity to deploy forces not only physical, but also logistical and especially intellectuals. It is essential that our youth will reorganize and rooted in reality not only academic but also secondary schools, support the movement by offering suggestions of conflict and social struggle, to contribute actively to the construction or reconstruction, of anti-fascist collective defense of public education in order to assume a role of coordination and continuity of the movement. Finally, it is vital that the Young Communist League in the provinces and cities to act with unity of purpose and relate to each other, they will find partners with which to build a new movement pattern is no longer subject to the ups and downs of media attention. Immersing ourselves in conflicts can only win the trust of those who are willing to become our partners in the fight, which is up to us to remember what the direction. It then becomes essential to lay the foundations for a new grounding for our political organization among high school students and university trying to build more extensive forms of coordination with all the realities that are fighting to defend the right to education and public school, from temporary teachers, who are fighting to defend their jobs and the quality of ' education. Even more important is the role of the GC and the Party in the ability to unite all workers' struggles to those of the students, to build a common front against the Berlusconi government. For a democratic school, public, secular, anti-class, multicultural and inclusive, in one word fascist.
The unit is constructed from struggles The conflict in the coming months will be also a test of wider, to all Communists and anti-capitalist left, which should make its own contribution to the class conflict and give an appropriate response to attack government and Confindustria. The argument is thus related to the theme of 'Unity of the Communists, "it occupies and in the debate also involves our youth organization. We believe that the topic is important and necessary debate, but it should not be addressed by mere operation Politic, but starting from the joint construction of class conflict and the convergence of content. To date, the unification between players in the PRC and the PDCI is not enough to rebuild a communist party let alone a youth organization or party that is worthy of the name, and this approach organizzativista completely bypasses the need to redefine a project that requires a theoretical basis as well as practical. In fact, many local situations the relationship between these two forces is extremely sensitive both to the different positions taken on various local disputes, both the arrangement of the PDCI, which is all too often this proves neither self nor an alternative to government decisions often nefarious the PD and the PdCI has also always expressed an attitude rather wary of grassroots movements in the territories. E 'is essential, therefore, that these differences in method and go on clarification about the project for the communist PRC in Italy and that there is unity from the basic struggles of political parties in the territories.
convergence on the contents must be made from the first creation of a united front of anti-communist forces and the left common goals: Democratic seal against a frontal attack, pointing to the fascism of the whole society, political and social workers, who risk paying twice the crisis (the first and the second fired from a further compression of social and civil rights), anti-imperialist struggle, autonomy from the PD and the center. In the past, mistakes were made resulting in formulas organization with clear intent electoral and short-sighted strategy. In this sense, it being understood that the construction of a pole of the left is a requirement of alternative objective given the current dynamics of conflict and the actual balance of power, we believe that with regard to the proposal from the Federation of the Left Alternative we should clarify various aspects on principles and objectives. Avoid in all ways, on the one hand, it falls in the construction of a single subject of ancestry rainbows and, secondly, that constitutes an escape organizzativista to problems, however, relate primarily to the ability of political initiative and social roots. We believe that the PRC should the protagonist of this path, causing the Fed to give birth to a table to build a platform of resistance against the crisis and Confindustria, and to fight against the policies of the Berlusconi government. Such a platform, moreover, to be credible alternative to the bipolar system must be firmly opposed to the neo-liberal model of PD that reactionary PDL.
Looking forward to a joint action of the communists, we believe that this can be achieved in a sustainable way and valid only if the various stakeholders will define what it means to pursue the struggles and ideals of the Communists in the twenty-first century, only that initiating a process of comparing long-medium term that is honest, sincere and meticulous search of a unified synthesis between the sensitivity of different companions, while the bases of the parties concerned must strive together for democracy in Italy, and only then can it exist in the future a real refounded communist party, with a leadership and a base with the tasks and struggles to continue for years to come.
The recovery of the original design of the Communist Refoundation The objectives that we have described so far, including the Communist Refoundation and the GC have a duty to take responsibility, then make it even more imperative the need of the recovery project Communist Refoundation, is in political terms - in search of one of our strategies and tactics - both in consciousness and feeling of the most militant and, finally, the complexity of the questions that emerge from the social reality and the difficulty of formulating responses . To implement the re-establishment of the communist project to open a table of comparisons among the companions of the base of our party, arguing from the political line and tending to a gradual synthesis of internal positions, and only after establishing a line and around a single project the new foundation will be possible to open the Communist debate with the various joint training. We must finally give head and legs to "turn left" which serves for the strengthening and reorganization of our Party in respect to the areas, which begin from circles, and then from our base, for reactivating our youth coordinating the territorial, provincial and regional debate and the decision because the Democrats are finally . We have the full knowledge that this is not a simple project requires a decisive breakthrough in our political process and therefore in shaping our future. All the more reason we think that the GC should be boosted as the heart of the party and act as the heart of the opposition student, also linked the struggles made by young people to those made by companies already included in the world of work, reassembling the historic alliance between students and the working class in its joints between "old" stable job and "new" precarious.
