Giovanni De Mauro, on the first page of the International, comments with a quote from the current week:
Indifference operates powerfully in the story. Work passively, but it operates. It's inevitable, is that on which we can not count, is what upsets the programs, which brings down the best built planes, is the matter raw intelligence that rebels and the throat. What happens, the evil that befalls all the possible good that a heroic act (universal value) can generate, is not due to the initiative of the few that operate as indifference, the absenteeism of the many. What happens, is not so much because some people want that to happen, but because the mass of men abdicating to his will, leave, leave then grouped the nodes that only the sword can cut, leaving only then enact laws that will repeal the revolt to leave the men who come to power only then will a mutiny to overthrow. The fatality that seems to dominate the story does not Another note is that illusory appearance of this indifference, this absenteeism. Ripen in the shade of the facts, a few hands, unsupervised by any control, they weave the fabric of community life, and ignores the mass, why does not care.
Antonio Gramsci, 11 February 1917
