Qualcuno Era Comunista

(original)
Mh?
No
Non è vero, io non ho niente da rimproverarmi.
Voglio dire, non mi sembra di
aver fatto delle cose gravi
La mia vita?
Una vita normale: non ho mai rubato, neanche in casa da piccolo,
non ho ammazzato nessuno figuriamoci, qualche atto impuro ma è normale no?
Lavoro, ho una famiglia, pago le tasse, non mi sembra di avere dell colpe
Non vado neanche a caccia, per dire
Mh?
Ah voi parlavate di prima, ah
Ma prima, beh, prima mi sono comportato come tutti
Come mi vestivo?
Come mi vestivo, mi vestivo come ora!
Beh, non proprio come ora, un po' più, sì,
jeans, maglione, l’eskimo, perché?
Non va bene?
Era comodo
Cosa cantavo?
Questa poi, volete sapere cosa cantavo?
Sì certo, anche canzoni popolari sì, ciao bella ciao
Devo parlare un po' più forte?
Sì, «Ciao Bella Ciao» l’ho cantata, d’accordo
E anche l’Internazionale, però in coro eh, in coro
Sì, quello sì lo ammetto, sì, ci sono andato sì.
Gli ho visti anche io gli
Inti-Illimani
Però non ho pianto!
Come?
Se in camera ho delle foto?
Che discorsi, certo, le foto dei miei genitori, mia moglie, mia f-
Manifesti?
Non mi pare mh
Forse uno, piccolo però, piccolo
Che Guevara
Ma cos'è un processo questo qui?
No!
No no no no, io quello no
Io il pugno non l’ho mai fatto, il pugno no, mai
Beh insomma
Una volta ma, un pugnettino, rapido proprio
Come?
Se ero comunista?
Eh, vi piacciono le domande dirette eh?
Volete sapere se ero comunista?
No no finalmente, perché adesso non ne parla
più nessuno, fanno tutti finta di niente e invece è giusto chiarirle queste
cose, una volta per tutte
Oh, se ero comunista
Mah
In che senso?
No, voglio dire, qualcuno era comunista
Perché era nato in Emilia
Qualcuno era comunista perché il nonno lo zio il papà.
La mamma no
Qualcuno era comunista perché vedeva la Russia come una promessa,
la Cina come una poesia, il comunismo come il paradiso terrestre
Qualcuno era comunista perché si sentiva solo
Qualcuno era comunista perché aveva avuto una educazione troppo cattolica.
Ahi ahi ahi ahi
Qualcuno era comunista perché il cinema lo esigeva, il teatro lo esigeva,
la pittura lo esigeva, la letteratura anche, lo esigevano tutti
Qualcuno era comunista perché glielo avevano detto
Qualcuno era comunista perché non gli avevano detto tutto
Qualcuno era comunista perché prima, prima prima, era fascista
Qualcuno era comunista perché aveva capito che la Russia andava piano,
ma lontano
Qualcuno era comunista perché Berlinguer era una brava persona
Qualcuno era comunista perché Andreotti non era una brava persona
Qualcuno era comunista perché era ricco ma amava il popolo
Qualcuno era comunista perché beveva il vino e si commuoveva alle feste popolari
Qualcuno era comunista perché era così ateo che aveva bisogno di un altro Dio
Qualcuno era comunista perché era talmente affascinato dagli operai che voleva
essere uno di loro
Qualcuno era comunista perché non ne poteva più di fare l’operaio
Qualcuno era comunista perché voleva l’aumento di stipendio
Qualcuno era comunista perché la rivoluzione oggi no, domani forse,
ma dopodomani sicuramente
Qualcuno era comunista perché, la borghesia il proletariato la lotta di classe
cazzo
Qualcuno era comunista per fare rabbia a suo padre
Qualcuno era comunista perché guardava solo Rai 3
Qualcuno era comunista per moda, qualcuno per principio, qualcuno per
frustrazione
Qualcuno era comunista perché voleva statalizzare tutto.
Minchia
Qualcuno era comunista perché non conosceva gli impiegati statali,
parastatali e affini
Qualcuno era comunista perché aveva scambiato il materialismo dialettico per il
vangelo secondo Lenin
Qualcuno era comunista perché era convinto di avere dietro di sé la classe
operaia.
O cazzo
Qualcuno era comunista perché era più comunista degli altri
Qualcuno era comunista perché c’era il grande partito comunista
Qualcuno era comunista malgrado ci fosse il grande partito comunista
Qualcuno era comunista perché non c’era niente di meglio
Qualcuno era comunista perché abbiamo avuto il peggior partito socialista
d’Europa
Qualcuno era comunista perché lo stato peggio che da noi, solo l’Uganda
Qualcuno era comunista perché non ne poteva più di quarant’anni di governi
democristiani incapaci e mafiosi
Qualcuno era comunista perché Piazza Fontana, Brescia, la stazione di Bologna,
l’Italicus, Ustica eccetera eccetera eccetera
Qualcuno era comunista perché chi era contro era comunista
Qualcuno era comunista perché non sopportava più quella cosa sporca che ci
ostiniamo a chiamare democrazia
Qualcuno credeva di essere comunista, e forse era qualcos’altro
Qualcuno era comunista perché sognava una libertà diversa da quella americana
Qualcuno era comunista perché credeva di poter essere vivo e felice,
solo se lo erano anche gli altri
Qualcuno era comunista perché aveva bisogno di una spinta verso qualcosa di
nuovo.
Perché sentiva la necessità di una morale diversa
Perché forse era solo una forza, un volo, un sogno, era solo uno slancio,
un desiderio di cambiare le cose, di cambiare la vita
Sì, qualcuno era comunista perché con accanto questo slancio ognuno era come,
più di se stesso.
Era come due persone in una
Da una parte la personale fatica quotidiana e dall’altra, il senso di
appartenenza a una razza, che voleva spiccare il volo, per cambiare veramente
la vita
No, niente rimpianti.
Forse anche allora molti, avevano aperto le ali,
senza essere capaci di volare, come dei gabbiani ipotetici
E ora?
Anche ora, ci si sente come in due.
Da una parte l’uomo inserito che
attraversa ossequiosamente lo squallore della propria sopravvivenza quotidiana
e dall’altra, il gabbiano senza più neanche l’intenzione del volo,
perché ormai il sogno si è rattrappito
Due miserie in un corpo solo
(translation)
Mh?
No
That's not true, I have nothing to blame myself for.
I mean, it doesn't seem to me to
having done serious things
My life?
A normal life: I have never stolen, not even at home as a child,
I haven't killed anyone let alone some impure act but it's normal isn't it?
I work, I have a family, I pay taxes, I don't seem to be at fault
I don't even go hunting, so to speak
Mh?
Ah you were talking about before, ah
But first, well, first I acted like everyone else
How did I dress?
How I dressed, I dressed like now!
Well, not quite like now, a little more, yeah,
jeans, sweater, eskimo, why?
That's no good?
Was it comfortable
What was I singing?
This then, do you want to know what I was singing?
Yes of course, popular songs too, yes, bye beautiful bye
Do I need to speak a little louder?
Yes, "Ciao Bella Ciao" I sang it, all right
And also the International, but in chorus eh, in chorus
Yes, that yes I admit, yes, I went there yes.
I saw him too
Inti-Illimani
But I didn't cry!
How?
What if I have photos in the room?
What speeches, of course, the photos of my parents, my wife, my f-
Posters?
I do not think mh
Maybe one, small though, small
Che Guevara
But what is this a process here?
No!
No no no no, I'm not the one
I have never done the fist, the fist no, never
Well in short
Once but, a fist, just quick
How?
Was I a Communist?
Eh, you like direct questions huh?
Do you want to know if I was a communist?
No no finally, because now he doesn't talk about it
nobody anymore, they all pretend nothing has happened and instead it is right to clarify these
things, once and for all
Oh, if I was a communist
Mah
What do you mean?
No, I mean, someone was a communist
Because he was born in Emilia
Someone was a communist because the grandfather, the uncle, the father.
Mom doesn't
Someone was a communist because he saw Russia as a promise,
China as a poem, communism as the earthly paradise
Someone was a communist because he felt alone
Someone was a communist because he had had too much a Catholic education.
Ouch ouch ouch ouch
Someone was a communist because the cinema required it, the theater required it,
painting demanded it, literature too, everyone demanded it
Someone was a communist because they had been told
Someone was a communist because they hadn't told him everything
Someone was a communist because before, before before, he was a fascist
Someone was a communist because he understood that Russia was going slowly,
but far away
Someone was a communist because Berlinguer was a good person
Someone was a communist because Andreotti was not a good person
Someone was a communist because he was rich but he loved the people
Someone was a communist because he drank wine and was moved by popular festivals
Someone was a communist because he was so atheist that he needed another God
Someone was a communist because he was so fascinated by the workers that he wanted
be one of them
Someone was a communist because he was no longer able to be a worker
Someone was a communist because he wanted a salary increase
Someone was a communist because the revolution is not today, tomorrow perhaps,
but the day after tomorrow for sure
Someone was a communist because the bourgeoisie, the proletariat, the class struggle
fuck
Someone was a communist to anger his father
Someone was a communist because he only watched Rai 3
Someone was a communist for fashion, someone on principle, someone for
frustration
Someone was a communist because he wanted to nationalize everything.
Fuck
Someone was a communist because he didn't know civil servants,
parastatals and related
Someone was a communist because he had mistaken dialectical materialism for
gospel according to Lenin
Someone was a communist because he was convinced that he had the class behind him
factory Girl.
Or fuck
Someone was a communist because he was more a communist than the others
Someone was a communist because there was the great communist party
Someone was a communist despite the fact that there was a large communist party
Someone was a communist because there was nothing better
Someone was a communist because we had the worst socialist party
of Europe
Someone was a communist because the state is worse than here, only Uganda
Someone was a communist because he couldn't stand more than forty years of government
incapable Christian Democrats and mafia
Someone was a communist because Piazza Fontana, Brescia, the station of Bologna,
Italicus, Ustica, etc., etc., etc.
Someone was a communist because whoever was against it was a communist
Someone was a communist because he couldn't stand that dirty thing anymore
we persist in calling democracy
Someone believed they were a communist, and maybe it was something else
Someone was a communist because he dreamed of a freedom different from the American one
Someone was a communist because he believed he could be alive and happy,
only if the others were too
Someone was a communist because he needed a push towards something
new.
Because he felt the need for a different morality
Because maybe it was just a force, a flight, a dream, it was just an impulse,
a desire to change things, to change life
Yes, someone was a communist because with this momentum beside each other everyone was like,
more than himself.
It was like two people in one
On the one hand, the personal daily toil and on the other, the sense of
belonging to a race, which wanted to take flight, to really change
the life
No, no regrets.
Perhaps even then many had opened their wings,
without being able to fly, like hypothetical seagulls
And now?
Even now, it feels like two.
On the one hand, the man added that
obsequiously goes through the squalor of his daily survival
and on the other, the seagull without even the intention of flying anymore,
because now the dream has shrunk
Two miseries in one body
