The Manifesto of Young Italy! (Giovine Italia)
Our intention is to fight by every means and with maximum commitment to the cause of nations, to affirm the existence, uniqueness and importance of these. We believe that how a national state should be thought of as a bundle of rods, sublimation of the individual in the community, so must be the union of peoples in humanity.
We are strongly against the supporters of interchangeability of men, we believe that every individual like each group has its own role within human society as well as within the national society, and that this role is fundamental and which to its identity. We want to fight against the enemies of the cause of peoples, both internal and external: interior like those who would like their people divided into opposing sides or parties, outside such as the countless stateless groups that in the name of the market and practicality would like to reset differences, By wiping out everything that allows us to define ourselves as individuals as much as they belong to a nation.
Our action will therefore be pedagogical, as it is aimed at educating a human type that can stand up to the evil project of destruction of man, politics, as interested in the good of the community and at the service of it, trade union, because it is aimed at starting At the work of their physical and spiritual liberation, patriotic, as they are placed in a strong defence of their homeland, where they are threatened physically or conceptually and international, because the cause of a nation is the cause of all nations.
Our organization, which inherits the glorious mission mission of the Italian people's ransom against tyrannies oligarchic, is mainly directed towards young people, because they are based on preconceptions inherited from the last century and free to imagine new methods and ways to achieve our goals.
We are fighting for a man who is complete, conscious of himself and eager to be at the service of everything, to see in this his maximum achievement.
We fight for a state that is father, who is an educator of the people, who is aware of his historic mission and that is not the instrument of control of power groups more or less based on finance.
We fight for a humanity of peoples brothers, where every nation contributes to collective progress based on its own capabilities.
We fight for freedom in order, for law in justice and to ensure that work, maximum expression of human creative capacity, is work lifting and not progressive and exhausting alienation.
Our struggle is not to be understood as wanting to achieve reforms, improvements or promises: we have set ourselves one duty: to overthrow the oppressive system that binds man. There are no mediation, there are no agreements, but only a deep and absolute hostility towards the enemies of humanity.
Our work is not only destructive, the state that will rise once they are swept away by repressive forms which are wrong in their name is well outlined, it is already reality within our community. The State will absolve those who are its tasks, or educate citizens to make them participate in the historical evolution of the nation and bring them more and more levels of freedom. Freedom can only be achieved through the association, which is safeguard and protection. For this reason, workers will be grouped in trade unions according to their activity, and representatives of these will form the chamber of labour, which is able to monitor and manage national production. For this reason, the citizen elected to represent his province in the national convention protect cultural, scientific and social forms. The Ministers of the new state will no longer be politicians appointed by parties, but experts elected in their field of competence: as the minister of labour will be appointed by the chamber of labour, the minister of health will be chosen by doctors, and so on. Each charge will at any time be revoked by the people, regardless of the time spent by the settlement. The current relationship between employer and service provider will only be the memory of a past time marked by the cross of paid slavery: all companies will be socialised, work broken down according to skills and needs. Gold Coin, symbol of the odious era of slavery and selfishness, will be replaced by currency-work, true index of employee merit. Furthermore, it is in our intentions to protect work from unfair competition, preventing the creation of points of over-distribution, products of the most despicable and Neo-Liberalism. In the system that will rise from the ashes of the modern world there will be no more room for the "right" of the single exercised against the community, there will be no more speculators and selfish: these are not empty promises but a declaration of Anyone who harms the community for its sake or a certain caste is enemy of the people, and as such must live in terror. For the new company that will come to us, it is essential to have a pedagogical work aimed at making citizen such a work, which is currently being carried out by us and which will be carried out in future by Education will be totally free for every order and degree, no family will have to take off bread again to ensure education for their children. The Humanities, so neglected and relegated to the margins in the current system eager to create only committed, will be placed at the centre of school training, and the fields of these will be enhanced with the inclusion of history of music and civic education. We are no longer prepared to tolerate intrusions of the Catholic Church or of private individuals, just as we are no longer prepared to accept passively education ministers who have neither qualifications nor the authority to play the role: an assembly of students and teachers will be called upon to decide on the Identity of this. Democracy will be a fact, not simple rhetorical exercise of some hypocritical oligarch. Army and police will cease to be instruments of repression or safeguarding private interests: every citizen will be a soldier, and in that will defend his own and other freedoms. There will also be democracy within these organisations: no longer imposed, no more recommendations but graduated by the troop, and cancellable and criticism at any time. It will be immediate and sindacabilità that will be characteristics of any political, social or work function, regardless of the importance of this. Our Revolution is aimed at the liberation of man, so of every nation. It has no boundaries, it has no limits. Starting from the work carried out in our homeland and for the release of it, we will proceed along the path of the world uprising, the only instrument capable of subverting the system, giving strength and will to oppressed masses, which are now relegated to a state of servility sold.
This is young Italy

I applaud the Lebanese resistance and their victory against the Zionist entity. It triumphed because it is a popular resistance in which there is guerrilla warfare. This is the way forward in the Arab world. Imperialism will not be able to defeat an armed people that will attack them from every corner.
When push comes to shove, conditional armies will not help us Arabs, everyone must be armed and we must meet the enemy from every direction, men, women and children.
There is an aggressive nation, an invading nation at our doors, challenging us and wanting to take the bread of our children. They have challenged us in Iraq, in Lebanon, here in Libya and elsewhere, we must prove that we are up for the challenge.

SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC’S 1989 ST. VITUS DAY SPEECH
Gazimestan - June 28, 1989
Speech by Slobodan Milosevic, delivered to 1 million people at the central celebration marking the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, held at Gazimestan on 28 June, 1989. Compiled by the National Technical Information Service of the Department of Commerce of the U.S.
By the force of social circumstances this great 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo is taking place in a year in which Serbia, after many years, after many decades, has regained its state, national, and spiritual integrity. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to answer today the old question: how are we going to face Milos [Milos Obilic, legendary hero of the Battle of Kosovo]. Through the play of history and life, it seems as if Serbia has, precisely in this year, in 1989, regained its state and its dignity and thus has celebrated an event of the distant past which has a great historical and symbolic significance for its future.
Serbian Character -- Liberational
Today, it is difficult to say what is the historical truth about the Battle of Kosovo and what is legend. Today this is no longer important. Oppressed by pain and filled with hope, the people used to remember and to forget, as, after all, all people in the world do, and it was ashamed of treachery and glorified heroism. Therefore it is difficult to say today whether the Battle of Kosovo was a defeat or a victory for the Serbian people, whether thanks to it we fell into slavery or we survived in this slavery. The answers to those questions will be constantly sought by science and the people. What has been certain through all the centuries until our time today is that disharmony struck Kosovo 600 years ago. If we lost the battle, then this was not only the result of social superiority and the armed advantage of the Ottoman Empire but also of the tragic disunity in the leadership of the Serbian state at that time. In that distant 1389, the Ottoman Empire was not only stronger than that of the Serbs but it was also more fortunate than the Serbian kingdom.
The lack of unity and betrayal in Kosovo will continue to follow the Serbian people like an evil fate through the whole of its history. Even in the last war, this lack of unity and betrayal led the Serbian people and Serbia into agony, the consequences of which in the historical and moral sense exceeded fascist aggression.
Even later, when a socialist Yugoslavia was set up, in this new state the Serbian leadership remained divided, prone to compromise to the detriment of its own people. The concessions that many Serbian leaders made at the expense of their people could not be accepted historically and ethically by any nation in the world, especially because the Serbs have never in the whole of their history conquered and exploited others.
Their national and historical being has been liberational throughout the whole of history and through two world wars, as it is today. They liberated themselves and when they could they also helped others to liberate themselves. The fact that in this region they are a major nation is not a Serbian sin or shame; this is an advantage which they have not used against others, but I must say that here, in this big, legendary field of Kosovo, the Serbs have not used the advantage of being great for their own benefit either.
Thanks to their leaders and politicians and their vassal mentality they felt guilty before themselves and others. This situation lasted for decades, it lasted for years and here we are now at the field of Kosovo to say that this is no longer the case.
Unity Will Make Prosperity Possible
Disunity among Serb officials made Serbia lag behind and their inferiority humiliated Serbia. Therefore, no place in Serbia is better suited for saying this than the field of Kosovo and no place in Serbia is better suited than the field of Kosovo for saying that unity in Serbia will bring prosperity to the Serbian people in Serbia and each one of its citizens, irrespective of his national or religious affiliation.
Serbia of today is united and equal to other republics and prepared to do everything to improve its financial and social position and that of all its citizens. If there is unity, cooperation, and seriousness, it will succeed in doing so. This is why the optimism that is now present in Serbia to a considerable extent regarding the future days is realistic, also because it is based on freedom, which makes it possible for all people to express their positive, creative and humane abilities aimed at furthering social and personal life.
Serbia has never had only Serbs living in it. Today, more than in the past, members of other peoples and nationalities also live in it. This is not a disadvantage for Serbia. I am truly convinced that it is its advantage. National composition of almost all countries in the world today, particularly developed ones, has also been changing in this direction. Citizens of different nationalities, religions, and races have been living together more and more frequently and more and more successfully.
Socialism in particular, being a progressive and just democratic society, should not allow people to be divided in the national and religious respect. The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people. Therefore, all people in Serbia who live from their own work, honestly, respecting other people and other nations, are in their own republic.
Dramatic National Divisions
After all, our entire country should be set up on the basis of such principles. Yugoslavia is a multinational community and it can survive only under the conditions of full equality for all nations that live in it.
The crisis that hit Yugoslavia has brought about national divisions, but also social, cultural, religious and many other less important ones. Among all these divisions, nationalist ones have shown themselves to be the most dramatic. Resolving them will make it easier to remove other divisions and mitigate the consequences they have created.
For as long as multinational communities have existed, their weak point has always been the relations between different nations. The threat is that the question of one nation being endangered by the others can be posed one day -- and this can then start a wave of suspicions, accusations, and intolerance, a wave that invariably grows and is difficult to stop. This threat has been hanging like a sword over our heads all the time. Internal and external enemies of multi-national communities are aware of this and therefore they organize their activity against multinational societies mostly by fomenting national conflicts.
At this moment, we in Yugoslavia are behaving as if we have never had such an experience and as if in our recent and distant past we have never experienced the worst tragedy of national conflicts that a society can experience and still survive.
Equal and harmonious relations among Yugoslav peoples are a necessary condition for the existence of Yugoslavia and for it to find its way out of the crisis and, in particular, they are a necessary condition for its economic and social prosperity. In this respect Yugoslavia does not stand out from the social milieu of the contemporary, particularly the developed, world. This world is more and more marked by national tolerance, national cooperation, and even national equality. The modern economic and technological, as well as political and cultural development, has guided various peoples toward each other, has made them interdependent and increasingly has made them equal as well [medjusobno ravnopravni]. Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.
At the time when this famous historical battle was fought in Kosovo, the people were looking at the stars, expecting aid from them. Now, 6 centuries later, they are looking at the stars again, waiting to conquer them. On the first occasion, they could allow themselves to be disunited and to have hatred and treason because they lived in smaller, weakly interlinked worlds. Now, as people on this planet, they cannot conquer even their own planet if they are not united, let alone other planets, unless they live in mutual harmony and solidarity.
Therefore, words devoted to unity, solidarity, and cooperation among people have no greater significance anywhere on the soil of our motherland than they have here in the field of Kosovo, which is a symbol of disunity and treason.
In the memory of the Serbian people, this disunity was decisive in causing the loss of the battle and in bringing about the fate which Serbia suffered for a full 6 centuries.
Even if it were not so, from a historical point of view, it remains certain that the people regarded disunity as its greatest disaster. Therefore it is the obligation of the people to remove disunity, so that they may protect themselves from defeats, failures, and stagnation in the future.
Unity brings Back Dignity
This year, the Serbian people became aware of the necessity of their mutual harmony as the indispensable condition for their present life and further development.
I am convinced that this awareness of harmony and unity will make it possible for Serbia not only to function as a state but to function as a successful state. Therefore I think that it makes sense to say this here in Kosovo, where that disunity once upon a time tragically pushed back Serbia for centuries and endangered it, and where renewed unity may advance it and may return dignity to it. Such an awareness about mutual relations constitutes an elementary necessity for Yugoslavia, too, for its fate is in the joined hands of all its peoples. The Kosovo heroism has been inspiring our creativity for 6 centuries, and has been feeding our pride and does not allow us to forget that at one time we were an army great, brave, and proud, one of the few that remained undefeated when losing.
Six centuries later, now, we are being again engaged in battles and are facing battles. They are not armed battles, although such things cannot be excluded yet. However, regardless of what kind of battles they are, they cannot be won without resolve, bravery, and sacrifice, without the noble qualities that were present here in the field of Kosovo in the days past. Our chief battle now concerns implementing the economic, political, cultural, and general social prosperity, finding a quicker and more successful approach to a civilization in which people will live in the 21st century. For this battle, we certainly need heroism, of course of a somewhat different kind, but that courage without which nothing serious and great can be achieved remains unchanged and remains urgently necessary.
Six centuries ago, Serbia heroically defended itself in the field of Kosovo, but it also defended Europe. Serbia was at that time the bastion that defended the European culture, religion, and European society in general. Therefore today it appears not only unjust but even unhistorical and completely absurd to talk about Serbia's belonging to Europe. Serbia has been a part of Europe incessantly, now just as much as it was in the past, of course, in its own way, but in a way that in the historical sense never deprived it of dignity. In this spirit we now endeavor to build a society, rich and democratic, and thus to contribute to the prosperity of this beautiful country, this unjustly suffering country, but also to contribute to the efforts of all the progressive people of our age that they make for a better and happier world.
Let the memory of Kosovo heroism live forever!
Long live Serbia!
Long live Yugoslavia!
Long live peace and brotherhood among peoples!

We find ourselves facing the Devil. The empire of darkness extends its shadow over the universe. [...] Evil extends itself over the land of the living and pushes back the forces of good. [...] America declared war on September 11th, but not war on terrorism, nor on the Arabs alone, even less on Islam which it knows how to utilize and manipulate according to its needs, but it declared war on all peoples because it wants them to submit.
