In Italy there was the largest communist party in western Europe. Now, the so called Left is mockingly known as the ZTL party (traffic-restricted zone), to indicate how distant they are from ordinary people, their needs and interests. When it was in power, the left enacted policies that dismantled what was left of the welfare State. And the result of all this is that the real extreme right is now in power, with all the consequences that were to be expected.
And, on a different note, I have a difficult time trying to choose a new book when, as I often do, I roam in a bookstore. I always end up buying "old" literature and poetry. Am I a conservative? I don't think so. I'm just someone who loves beauty and complexity of thought.
This was a great essay!
