Although at this time there is someone (Bertinotti) that urges the political scene to "banish the Communist term for the next ten years," as if everything was now drained of value, there are those who in 2017 still professing communist.

Throughout my life I have never interfaced with someone who called himself a communist and it was then concretely: the majority does almost romantically, as a kind of ideological family tradition now far from what is reality.
But since after publishing an interview with a "fascist" many, even in a provocative manner, invited us through the comments to do the same with a communist, I decided to look for one.
And in the end I found Henry, a twenty-two Roman who claims to be communist-in-right-way-of-term, to which I asked him to explain what he thinks and how he lives a real communist in 2017.
VICE: How did you "closer" to communism? Enrico: It was a gradual process.
I would say that the first input was incredible encounter some contradictions in the reality we live in a crazy disparities at all levels, the perception of a sense of utter insecurity as regards the vast majority of the population, from the youngest to the oldest.
Then deepening of Marx's reading was appalled by how he managed to scientifically analyze all the critical issues today in society, identifying the causes.
And do you think answers like those of Marx is still relevant today?
Just give a look around to realize how certain issues are very current.
I refer to the Oxfam report a few days ago, which shows that eight super billionaires hold the same wealth of half the world's population.
These problems could be overcome if the company were scientifically organized to ensure the welfare and social justice, but this can not happen as long as the goal is the pursuit of profit.
Ok.
They seem very broad concepts.
Can you explain, very simply, what it means for you to be called Communist in 2017?
It means realizing that the social model in which we live can only lead to the collapse and try to build a society that ensures social justice, equity, rationalization of production and distribution of resources.
The need to overcome capitalism is more relevant than ever, and then a young man should be more natural.
I am referring to unemployment and disillusionment of those who have given up searching a commitment or further education.
A young to date, unless it is part of the lucky few with "his back covered" or able to afford studying at a private university, has no other perspective than a life characterized by insecurity.
And all this is not accidental, but a resource management totally reckless and a society in which applies the law of the strongest.
And in everyday life, your political belief how it affects your lifestyle?
The influence is expressed mainly in political material, so, clearly, I try to make my contribution to building a better society.
For the rest all live in an ordinary way, the rest of the Communists are not members of a sect or folkloric characters: indeed, the precise duty of a Communist does not become a "caricature".
Also I try to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, and I never dreamed to enroll in a private university, but otherwise I can guarantee that the style of a communist life is completely ordinary.
About "folk characters" When you say you are a communist, as the people take?
The reactions are clearly varied.
Who is openly anti-communist react pretty badly, but fortunately in our country there is a fairly widespread communist tradition and perceived in a positive-see enough the key role in the Resistance and the great social achievements after the war.
As for young people, unfortunately, often the response is "no": many of my peers and many younger children have lived an era of total de-politicization.
Sometimes they give me the dreamer, but then the company will not change blows of disillusionment and communism was originally called simply "scientific socialism," because he drew his thoughts from the scientific analysis of reality and society.
So comments like this definitely will not affect me.

Besides hear he gives the "dreamer", surely many times as you heard that "fascism and communism are the same."
How do you react when you hear statements like that?
Refuting sharply.
This equalization of so-called "totalitarianism" is all instrumental in discrediting the communist heritage, but statements of this kind can easily disprove.
First of all, just think that the Nazi-fascism is linked to historical circumstances, not in a doctrinal corpus.
In fact all these Nazi experiments have never tarnished the famous "relations of production."
There was no real social change, but simply the centralization of power in certain figures who have never hindered the interests of the ruling classes and never have favored the exploited.
Communism on the other hand is not tied exclusively to its various concrete manifestations throughout history, because often these have little in common.
Just think of the current China: although it is formally defined as a nation "communist" communist has nothing now, indeed, it is one of the countries with the greatest inequality in the world.
But, as a communist, how do you relate with other people on the left?
I ask because sometimes it seems that the Communists hate the fascist socialists.
True, it can often emerge this feeling.
Personally I always try to build a discussion as rationally as possible, assuming that often many "socialists" are just people in good faith, with a greater or lesser communist tradition behind it, that in the current ideological and political disaster the Italian left have lost all reference.
I tend to think that this hostility exists primarily because of the perception of a "betrayal."
The social-democratic formations have been condemned by history, and present it as an alternative means to deceive the popular classes, which inevitably then pour on the right.
So they favor nationalism and the worst reactionary logic.
I refer to what happens in Greece: Syriza and Tsipras have been acclaimed as saviors of the country, reflecting the people's interests, then fall to executors of the European directives.
The only party left to point out ambiguities and criticality of Syriza in Greece was the KKE (Greek Communist Party), acting clearly from the beginning.
Globally, what are the real / communism socialism models that you feel able, or who at least inspires you?
I think the most successful models are real socialism the Soviet one, at least until 1953, and the Cuban one.
The first it opened the door to the greatest social achievements in the history, even with regard to the West.
It showed how, by organizing scientific economy, you could reach incredible results without any plunged into crisis.
Cuba on the other hand has shown that even a small country, isolated from the world and continually attacked by terrorist actions by the world's leading power can provide a huge level of development and prosperity to its citizens through a more rational management of resources.
Suffice it to say that Cuba has the same GDP of Puglia and lives about 60 a state of almost total international isolation, can boast of very few economic benefits.
Clearly these models have or have had some imperfections, but it is virtually impossible not to have when living conditions of isolation.
However by far a better alternative than the capitalist.
In your opinion, communism in Italy should succeed through elections or a revolution?
Therefore, the elections are not to be rejected a priori, but can not and must not become an end to a political entity that preponga the radical change of the economic system.
The elections are to be used as a tool to strengthen revolutionary organization.
Having access to the institutions can also provide more tools and ability to fight, it is important to remain aware that real change will never move from institutions.
The problem is that now even talk of electoral hopes for a Communist is not the best, since in recent years the Communist parties have lost more time doing splits that more ...
The history of the left and even more of the different communist after 1991 is nothing short of dramatic, dominated by ideological disorientation and opportunism of all kinds.
Bertinotti is the figure of this decay: a person who has created the most bizarre political projects, and never have an interest in maintaining a line, moving only with electoral logic, and then wash their hands before your total failure.
Do not you think that the current communist parties in Italy give the impression of being something frighteningly old and disconnected from reality?
The point is this: we have gone from the days when the Communists often and willingly were seen as the key elements of "vanguard" within the company, at times when this approach failed material and there was atomistically refugees intellectualism.
The "communists" were perceived as people out of time and reality because it is the dimension that unfortunately they are relegated.
Fortunately I am pleased to know that each time you return to "dirty their hands" and to fight effectively with the oppressed is not any kind of ruling.
