Xray of my country

Italy is the country where the working class doesn't work, the ruling class doesn't rule and the middle class is not in the middle.
In the old days you were either a Communist or a Capitalist (later a Communist or a Capitalist, a Liberal and so on...)party-follower.
Our is the age in which people change allegiance for the most trivial and frivolous reasons.
In every case, anyway, whatever any party says, fails to follow it.
People know perfectly well that to judge a man by the preference for a political party is downright stupid, but they go on making such judgments.
The trouble of the Italians (and also of humanity)is that while their intellect has grown quickly and impressively, their morality and ethics are those of the cave-dweller or the crocodile.
Italians are able to create admirable devices and then use them for destructive ends.
They have remained the slaves of basic instincts such as revenge, envy, fury, vanity, greediness and so on.

Another trouble is that Italy's politicians sooner or later develop a God complex.
That is unavoidable when everyone keeps knowtowing to you, when people laugh at your silliest jokes and listen to your most trivial utterances as though they were the Sermon on the Mount, when you cannot be sacked from your job however incompetent or senile you become.
When in other words you are treated like God, then it is difficult not to believe in your own divinity.
