It was Pasolini who, in the Sixties, became the author of the famously controversial poem "I hate you, students", in which he was addressing the protesters (the students) who would fight against the police (the carabinieri), stating that, in fact, it was the poor twenty years old "carabiniere" (policemen) he felt more sympathetic with, - for being the real dispossessed, son of the real deprived proletariat, a youngster who, having left school, had joined the army out of necessity to support the family (sisters brothers parents uncles and grandparents), having no other option of employment than to become a state "slave", - and not the upper class, or middle class revolutionaries (young wealthy people often coming from educated and wealthy middle to upper-class family backgrounds). Well, being Pssolini a real Communist writer, you can well imagine the reaction people had towards this statement. And who deeply its real sense was forerunning the times. (It was Marx who sees that revolutions are conceived by the Lumpenintelligenzija, and it was him stating too that the lumpen- proletariat is, in fact, most often, "reactionary".) (Nota bene: to call me “homophobic” , after all I said about transexuality, is like calling “shark steak” the sweet see melon, meaning that one has never seen a shark steak, nor tasted a sweet see melon). erminia
