"The consumer society needs men weak, so luxurious," Pasolini wrote about "The World" on August 28, 1975, echoes the infamous homophobic joke of our Prime Minister that delivered today, the anniversary of the murder of Ostia, has a bitter taste. The same measure winds in the alleys, in the street, between those who recognize in this lifestyle, but no one had ever dared to shout. Now finally disgust has a label visible and recognizable, that Pasolini attributed to the "petty bourgeoisie", the kingdom of hypocrisy and double standards, disguised as innovation and progress. "We must be progressive in another way," thundered the columns of the Corriere della Sera, October 18, 1975, "invent a new way to be free", especially by the rhetoric of tolerance and progress, admitting "the failure of tolerance. " Strong words, difficult to understand for those who do not learn to read the historical events of this country by a short memory. Pasolini went on stressing that "learn a little 'history makes sense only if it is projected into the future the possibility of a historical culture."
