I do not understand why Wayne Flask would fume and complain about Adrian Delia and his fans chanting “Bella Ciao” at PN protests. My statement is rhetorical because I know why Flask would rant about such. As an old Labourite, Flask will always have his left-leaning biases, and this is normal – I have them too, and I like Flask, like rekindling old nostalgic feelings about when the Labour Party actually meant something.
In reality, however, threats of fascist fantasies aren’t coming from the PN, nor the far-right which has long been subdued. We already face threats of authoritarian realities by our present government, and the same people who sign and dance at “Bella Ciao” during Labour Party festivities, are also the same people who cheered the murder of a journalist.
Wayne will probably enjoy drinking with friends and stirring up nostalgic feelings of socialist history, but “Bella Ciao” is not used in that spirit any longer especially after it was popularised with the Netflix series of the communists that rob the bank. I have seen some of it and the main character along with his group come off as criminal, psychotic and senseless. I don’t understand why this Netflix character is even considered a “good guy.” The group clearly resembles a bunch of villains with no regard for human life.
