“Happy” degrowth, free income and replacement immigration. Here are De Masi’s proposals for the States General

On the 7th and 8th of November, the "Remote" States General of the 5-star Movement will be held for security reasons . The fact that the event is remote is the only element of modernity of an occasion which, more than anything else, seems to be an amarcord of the movement's most extreme proposals. The Acting Officer Vito Crimi asked the sociologist De Masi to conduct a sort of "Survey" of the participants with the conclusion of a list of topics that will be the subject of discussion in the General States.

The results are not unbalanced on the one hand. More. If once there was a "sovereign" soul of the movement, which winked at a conservative and innovative political band in the country, now this has been suppressed, like an unwanted, indeed hated, child. Among the battle horses:

• happy degrowth, when the problem is the angry degrowth of those who will fail, between services and tourism, due to the arrival of Covid;
• relaunch of citizenship income, to be expanded and which loses its characteristic of being linked to poverty but without starting work;
• “Above ideologies”, but “With a progressive vision”, that is Piddinism, but ashamed of it; an opening up to immigration that presents "an enormous potential to provide the country with the human resources and talents necessary to ensure economic prosperity and avoid social tensions". Furthermore, in post-Covid Italy struggling with the demographic crisis, according to the results of De Masi's research, “it will be necessary to rejuvenate the Italian population by welcoming young and very young foreigners and starting a serious training and integration policy”. Hence the perfect theorization of ethnic substitution, among other things without taking into account that, up to now, immigration has not CANCELED, but CREATED tensions.

Practically an M5s with Iper-Piddina traction, indeed aiming to steal 0.2% of the electorate in LeU or Power to the People. But losing that 5-6% of the electorate that still looked to the right. Their choice, or rather De Masi, was the one who toerizza "Work Less, Work all", forgetting, however, that this also meant more misery for everyone.
